“I was motivated to consider retirement transition coaching to assess my future after a 55-year career in real estate. Sharon’s coaching opened up a number of options to consider and explore giving me new ideas and possibilities. Her positive attitude, knowledge and experience made her an effective coach for me and I was motivated to work my plan because of her organization and great follow up after our discussions.”

“Sharon’s coaching before my retirement was pricelessAfter 34 years with the same company, I thought I would just retire to leisure and figure it out as I went along. She helped me paint a picture, encouraged me with questions and conversation, and together, we developed a plan. My transition was as smooth as glass. I modify my plan as circumstances and experiences unfold, and I check in for an annual coaching call. I have choices and options I would not have seen or considered without the support of her coaching.”

Carol Hunter, ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia).
