    Emotional Side of Retirement Seminar

    Your life revolves around work more than you may realize. After you retire, you may feel disconnected, especially after you’ve spent most of your life working as part of a team. It might be hard to relate to others if you’re retired and they’re not.

    This seminar will focus on the non-financial side of retirement. By addressing the emotional and social challenges, you can increase your chances of having a fulfilling and enjoyable next chapter of your life.
