There are seasons in our lives. Being aware of what life stage we're in - which one we may be approaching - can be useful. Eyal Danon has a model of five distinct life stages, each with a specific theme or focus. Moving from one life stage entails a transition to navigate. For example, moving from being a Builder to Mentoring.

We discuss:

How his life stages model works

What it's based on

What life stage he's in - and how it's shifted his priorities

The drivers and rewards of the Mentor life stage

The challenges people often face in transitioning from the Builder stage to the Mentor stage

The Giver stage and what it takes to transition into it

Who people in the Giver stage need to reconnect with – and connect to

His response to people who don't believe they fit into a life stages model

What people considering early retirement should keep in mind

His advice on how to best navigate life transitions

Eyal Danon joins us from New Jersey.
