How do we replace the idea of achievement with fulfillment? Moving from success to significance is really about having a longer term impact, according to executive coach Joe Casey. 

 

Joe is the founder of Retirement Wisdom, where he applies his experience and care to help guide others towards this transition. As a former HR professional turned coach, he’s a model of resilience and focus. 

 

In this episode, Joe walks us through his process of coaching others as they create their personal retirement story. I think you’ll enjoy hearing from him as he shares the personal Chapter X stories and experiences he’s encountered over the years.

 

We covered:

 

• The extraordinary reason why learning is a big part of retirement life
  
  
• Remarkable stories we tell ourselves about our identity (and how we test their truth)
  
  
• The #1 word that comes up when people begin discussing the idea of retirement
  
  
• How to readjust your thinking to believe you’re so much more than your job
  
  
• Why Joe encourages people to speak with folks who’ve been retired for 5-10 years
  
  
• How to help shorten the gap of going from mastery back into incompetence
