No Regrets Retirement Programs

What Is a No Regrets Retirement?

No Regrets Retirement is about exploring all aspects of designing a dynamic and rewarding retirement lifestyle and creating a plan of action. It is the discovery of a lifestyle that is aligned with your values, priorities, and life purpose.

Retirement today is not like that experienced by our parents or grandparents. Now we can anticipate living 30 or more years after what was the "traditional" retirement age of 65. Yet, even though we are living longer, many of the thinking, beliefs, and techniques used to prepare for retirement have changed very little.

I believe that retirement is a transition, not a destination. It is more important to focus on what you are retiring WITH and TO, rather than what you are retiring FROM.

Designing a No Regrets Retirement requires different skills than it did in the past. New and soon-to-be retirees need to invest first in themselves. An equal amount of time should be invested in replacing one's work identity, establishing a healthy and active lifestyle, staying socially connected and cognitively engaged, strengthening relationships, and finding meaning and purpose as is spent on traditional retirement planning.

Retirement planning requires knowledge, effort, and a lot of work you may not be equipped to do on your own. Retirement prep can include developing new ways to measure personal success when there is no longer a paycheck, title, and performance evaluations that served as a benchmark for success. These are some of the other skills that may require development:

Learning to communicate about difficult issues
Saying "No" to adult children of other family members or friends
Developing a schedule for getting out of the house, learning new things, and meeting new people
Exploring different work or volunteer options
Developing a "realistic optimism" about life and aging

The Retirement Intelligence Assessment is the only tool that measures personal readiness for retirement rather than financial preparedness. It's the first retirement program that puts people ahead of their money.

The No Regrets Retirement Programs are designed to guide you to gain clarity on your identity and have enhanced self-awareness, clarity of purpose, and an action plan for a meaningful, fulfilling, and joy-filled path forward.

There is the Retirement Intelligence Assessment, Next Age Navigator: Mapping Your Path to a Rewarding Retirement, and the Golden Horizons: Reimagine Retirement with Purpose & Passion programs.

Retirement Intelligence Assessment

The foundations for this program are rooted in more than a decade of research, discussions, and interviews surrounding common failures, challenges, and missteps in both the retirement decision-making process and the transition into the next phase of life. As a result, we have learned that making the best possible transition requires a high level of Retirement Intelligence or Retirement Quotient (RQ).

The RQ Experience:

Pinpoints how the emphasis on age and assets, along with other fatal flaws, sets people up to fail
Explains how a combination of IQ (Intelligence Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), SQ (Spiritual Quotient), and AQ (Adversity Quotient) fosters Retirement Intelligence or RQ. The key components of it are Knowledge, Understanding, Purpose, and Mindset
Engages you in more powerful questioning to develop a new sense of purpose and identity and cultivates a more resilient mindset around aging, longevity, and legacy
Provides insight and context for transitioning your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into your new retirement reality while addressing any variations that may arise

How it works

RQ Assessment is an online 56-question measure of non-financial retirement readiness.
The assessment scores in three key areas (1) Retirement Knowledge, (2) Work Life and (3) Personal Life.
