Description

'I highly recommend this book for anyone who is seeking to embrace the power and potential of the new life stage of “redefinition”.’ - Berit Lewis, Author of Ageing Upwards

So, you’re leaving work: what’s next for you?

As part of the first generation of women who were told they could ‘have it all’, you’ve striven to succeed both in and out of work – to achieve status and feel valued, to have had a rewarding and fulfi lling life and career. But once you leave work, what next? How will you fill your time in a way that has purpose and meaning, and how will you keep the sense of being relevant and valued? Jane Moffett will help you understand yourself better, and expand your thinking to open up new opportunities, and new ways of finding purpose in life. By determining what it is you need and want, and focusing on where you can get it, you can design your own unique map for the future and embrace this life stage!

As an executive coach, trainer and facilitator, Jane Moffett has 30 years of experience working with women at key points of change in their lives where the professional and the personal intersect. She writes and publishes regularly in this area and is a member of staff at the Henley Business School’s Coaching Centre, and regularly attends meetings of the Women and Work All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG).

What Next? The savvy woman’s guide to redefining retirement is an invaluable route map for women planning their post-work lives. Refreshingly, Jane Moffett’s book does not try to offer advice on pensions, hobbies, and joining clubs but instead helps the reader navigate the next phase of life with ambition, self-awareness, confidence, and optimism. With the individual at its heart, this is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach to retirement but a flexible tool packed with hugely practical and reflective exercises which meet you where you are. Helpfully it explores relevant societal context, history, and theory which gives the practical content a really sound and relatable foundation. Written with empathy and insight it addresses fundamental issues that matter most. - Claire Williams, Ex-Managing Director of Inclusive Employers and attendee of the Empowered Women: From Retired to Redefined course
