Were you indoctrinated to believe age dictates your career and life trajectory? This episode is packed with actionable advice and steps to help you overcome age-related barriers and find out what fuels your passion, suits your personality and fills your pocket!Our guest, Jeri Sedlar, is an internationally recognized author, speaker, and lecturer on retirement, and she's the co-author of the highly acclaimed book, "Don't Retire, Rewire!"A thought leader on “the new way to do retirement,” Jeri believes that life planning - done in conjunction with financial planning - allows individuals to leverage their personal and professional assets to the fullest.For more than 20 years, Jeri has been traveling the globe from Dubai to Des Moines, actively researching individuals and organizations on the pleasure, pain and possibilities associated with an aging society. Her findings led to the creation of the five step Rewiring© process, which focuses on finding new purpose, new passions, new play and new work possibilities that promote healthy, fun and fulfilling futures.I highly recommend getting a copy of Jeri’s book, "Don't Retire, Rewire.” Filled with practical advice, strategies, and exercises, it’s the best guidebook for this age and stage, and it encourages readers to view retirement as an opportunity for personal reinvention and fulfillment rather than just a time to stop working.
