Life transitions are hard. It brings up many questions. Having worked with over over 1,000 people over the years, here are some of the top questions we explored during our coaching sessions. Some individuals are also considering retirement. The answers to each of these questions are highly personal and unique, making it impossible to provide a one-size-fits-all solution. Everyone is at a different stage in life, with their own experiences, goals, and dreams.
These are important questions to ask ourselves. If you need support in delving into any of them, please let me know.
