just talk a little bit more about what we're going to talk about today so a little bit earlier in a previous show we talked about how the like two point zero community came to be so what i thought today is just a kind of walk you in the audience to some of the thought process that's behind looking at your life in life two point zero in trying to figure out ok my passion skills talents and where i go from here to really make this a continuation of your life your achievements and find expand on it a little bit more is you have actually developed into a framework and a step by step process that actually helps people you know from being overwhelmed as to where do i start where i began on how to really break it down into little pieces so they can actually have some sense of what are the steps right exactly because what w great about the whole process was it's really my journey again about how to why i kind of get from being downsized being totally lost clueless about where i go from here to taking a retirement package and as i started to research to develop the modules it just reinforces a lot of the things that i learned through trial and error three wks perience so i wanted people to get a process together kind of take my ups so take us through you know this first piece hairball rewriting life with passion all that's yes yes so rewriting life with passion it's really looking we're going today we're just going to talk about three areas the new and retirement what's important to you at this point in your life and what do i enjoy doing so start the process of what is it that i think i want to do from this point on so if we can just go to the next slide so i want to start with the new i'm retirement because what people need to understand baby boomers playing in our generation because that's really what the whole program is geared towards the professional baby boomer we tarmon for us is totally different from it was for our parents as a matter fact you and i have had conversations when we hear the word retire and we kind of crash what is that old and we're not old even though we may be was but we just don't see ourselves that way baby boomers don't see cells that way and especially if you've been in corporate professional doctors you know you want to still continue around you're not going to just sit you know you have you need to keep actually functioning you know you have mind you want to keep that engaged so really this was just the fly from highlights from the merrill lynch and age weight study where they actually took took a look at work and retirement the myths and the motivation so in the past you would rework and then you retired so that's kind of our parents think we're going to retire and retirement for them was all about leisure but today retirement is a little bit different there's that predetermined stage which is about in that fifty five plus five years before you really start to think about it and then when people actually retire what they found in the study is that there's a spirit that they say career into mission it's usually about two and a half years you can see from the slide and it's really our time to write recharge ourselves what was interesting i did a seminar for a lady and for a group and one of the ladies when we went through this she says well i'm can't think beyond what i wanted to i just retired and i said that's ok that's not a problem right here in what we call that career into mission phase so what was funny was as we actually went through that the series of workshops later on she said to me you know what i think i want to take this time and maybe write about my parents because my parents had a fascinating life so she i think even realize that even in this recharge this two and a half year period she still had to do something then from that point on they we they found that people go back into the workforce for about another nine years and that falls into four stages german achievers killing contributors life because i'm a baby boomer i got to reach an earnest earnest errors and then we go into that phase four which is believed to lead a right so if we can go to the next slide we'll see how they kind of define these these four phases of work so you can see that driven achievers tend to be the workaholic right ok do you go with caring contributors they want to give back to the community or worthwhile cause so when they go back into work force they tend to go more into what can i do how can i give life balancers they kind of keep working because they need the friendships and the social and that shows you know i think about when my mom who retired and she's going to kill me when i tell say this but my mom was eighty two when she retired is a perfect example of this even though she's not a baby boomers you know she's that previous generation but she's involved in all kinds of different activities with the community she's in works with the food she has that's why it's so that whole thing w and then finally there's the earnest earners these are people you know they just still need to keep working for paying the bills they need the income right so if we can go to the next slide so part of what i do in the workshop you know before we start to get into the heart of you know trying to find ourselves you know when we think about it when we were thinking about earlier do we ever think of calling  days right right right and so this is from excerpts from from shelley and she talks about five reasons why people never cover it to reach their passion and i thought it was perfect  just really talks about what happens in our society we're trying to you know it's kind of like a chuckle by me graduate from school you get married have kids get a career then you retire when rights case retirement is totally different but that's the way we were trained that's the way we thought about our lives so let me ask you this that's being said when when you were in corporate america did you feel  did you feel that you would retire and then what would you do in the end or did it take that that process of being downsized and then you know wait a minute wait i'm not done right right ok so what i was in corporate america all i wanted to do was get to sixty two because in my mind that was going to mean my age the man i was that it i was going to retire and the only thing i thought about afterwards was ok i'm going to travel but after having the being in  situation where i was downsized those kind of forced me to try it and looking back now i say to myself i probably would have been going crazy traveling run great for a while but you can't  right how low you're not right and right and especially since my husband was still working so i think what i thought was realistic back then in hindsight it really wasn't right it was just a small portion of my you know twenty plus years thirty plus years because on average that's what we're so they're saying baby boomers are going to be on it at once or is it also so for our viewers we want to understand that your don't feel that if you're still in corporate america or if you just got downsized or just retired that you're going to figure it out overnight all this this is you know jackie has put together this framework to actually let you understand that certain pieces are natural and it's natural to not know some people do now but it's ok and there is a process in the event that you want to do something right next twenty years right and this is just new no we talk about corporate because you and i are background right corporate but it's for any profession you know i had in my workshops a person who was a dentist so you know if we turn to plan for retirement financially but right but not live right right we for retirement or what i'm going to say the new on retirement because ross it's going to be totally different for saying people it's going to be working for some people it's going to be going back to school for some people it's going to be starting a business based upon something they always wanted to do for some people is going to be now just doing my hobby karrar you know it's one thing you said that we tend to plan just for the finances or we've been accustomed to hiring  just you know how do you plan financially for when you retire but one of the things that you have brought to the fore front is you know our life is not just financial we have many different aspects to our lives so just touch again real quickly on those other little points which the show tries to bring information on those other points as well right so in and then we'll see this on a later slide too because what i what i felt was not having a job was just soaks consuming for me and the beginning because home i got my whole world right what happened yes ok but i didn't look at other parts of my life to say if i'm going to look at my whole life now this life two point zero for me now and want to live what oprah you're living your best like it had to be other areas in our life as well and then we've got to get to a slide that will show the ok are very are one of the things i do say want to say is that even if it's so hard never put our sight for you take this ride home and this time that we're all together and say ok i think i would like to at least i think i would like and take everybody out of the picture for at least right now right right so talk a little bit about the reflection so when we saw the first thing i do is i tell people just some general things to start asking themselves and this is really a process of reflection and some time where you should kind of find to you time to really sit and have a heart to heart and with yourself and really think about your life moving forward so the first thing i think is how do you want to look live in a new one retirement what does it look like for you right you know for for a good friend that we both know she's now we discover her talent as an artist right so for her new on retirement she's an artist you know she she's having you doing her thing the value right right but for me it's this business so it's more still working right and i know for you it's the same thing so we're kind of similar there so and that's the first thing and then what are your core values those are the things that geiger like because anyone who has gone through downsizing or even just making a life change because once you stop working because that's a life change so you kind of have to look back on and i think we start to reassess just normally like ok what's important to me now right it was important back then it's not important now but there are certain core values that guide our lives and they are part of our decision making process so we should always kind of look and use those core values as part of this process and then finally  forth we kind of analyze where we are right now in these three key areas so for example career doesn't necessarily mean a job right whatever it could be we're still working could going back to school voluntary but we also look at the money the financial part of health well being family friends significant others personal growth fund a recreation in your physical environment which is for your home because you know and math we learned that the sum is equal to the you know all the parts and your life is that so i don't know if you found that you know you may be doing great in one area but there are couple other things i definitely i mean yes for a lot of women it's you know i want to kind of get my weight under control or whatever so it's really trying to find balance at this point in your life in all writings areas at the all function well right which is so important yeah so we can go to the next slide so here's the heart of it here really have to to start think about what you are passionate about and realize that sometimes it's multiple passions and it began right but it's really i think for me i found it was what i was passionate about but it was also a combination of the skills and talents that i had that i actually enjoyed round using and sometimes it's also rediscovering some towns or schools that you didn't really think you have but they were natural right and it was so you were so it was so easy to do or you just never thought twice about them so i just tell people to start initially just thinking about those talents and skills what do you enjoy doing now i personally because that's not enjoyable to me but then also what are the gifts and talents that others see in you right that's really important because sometimes people see something that you have you bring great value right and you take it for granted right because you don't even know exactly what actually if it's something that just comes certain natural actually out to you you never think about it but in at the same time i want to say kind of think about those things that are natural to you and then become easy i remember when i was as a manager it was very easy for me to to encourage my people to write to say ok you can do it to train them to be the best so for me now to be doing seminars as you know as baby boomers now transitioning we need to emphasize that your talent your skill set that you had in your previous job right is definitely transferable to this new thing it may not be in the same format may not look the same but really the knowledge to do that adding is a sub civil right because again  background for sales and marketing flair sales in that respect when i was downsized i did independent consulting work in business consulting but it used that sales that i made right and it was finances and i never really think about putting a dom or dahlia to it because you just love doing it rain and then again what do you enjoy doing but i'm going to put a copy add to that because i also talk about hobb what frustrates you a lot of things that frustrate you could be the clue to what you need to be doing now ok this is a snack slightly no no can you expand on that just a touch more in terms of can you give an example of maybe a frustration that me maybe that someone could argue ok i have a good friend and her she says i am so frustrated by the fact that kids can't go to college  because they can't afford college so she's now in this retirement stay she's right now in that that relax retool phase so she's not thinking about her next steps but i said to her says you know if you're so this frustrates you so much and you just i mean she really gets upset about this maybe at some point in time that's what you want to start thinking about doing it maybe a simple thing is helping kids to understand how to look for  grants or scholarships or maybe even you know kind of get politically more involved in that but to me that was a first person i came into my reference or i have another lady that i worked with and she was downsize she was a writer but she loves children and you know she says i want to bring books to write books to kids that have meaning you know they're a little bit of a learning tool with you know so that's something that would be a frustration in writing you know so it's taking something that you see that there is a challenge there's a problem in his eyes or something that really upsets you and you being the solution to that right because and then the part that's kind of cut out there is possibility so passion leading to a purpose and that purpose is opening all hold a door a possibility for you to have this great like to point out the best way to start is really to assess your talents and skills but then have a support system oh that is so key it's so key that person or those people who will be your cheerleaders are also the people who are going to critique you mom they're going to be the people who are going to challenge you but they should be people who you know regardless they have your best interests at heart and they're going to be your sounding board they're going well that are going to maybe give you ideas insights because even for us you know when i was talking about this whole concept of this this doing this seminars and so forth you know we bounce you've given me ideas you know one of the things we've done  s change we used to be retire and reinvent and it was we talk about kate that we're retired right we see this old when you know when we have a negative feeling towards it then you said well let's think about like to point out yeah that's really cool and that you liked and it took off so that's important to share and to talk because about eight o'clock or something like that from a friend that says oh can you talk sometime today and i said well this is the only time i can talk right now because the whole day is book and and so she calls and i'm like what what's wrong you know  o i am just on the ledge right now right you know i'm trying to move forward and i feel like i'm taking ten steps backwards and you know i don't know i'm not getting the response from people that i feel like he should be getting and you know it kind of went on so she and i had a good half an hour i could write five minute conversation and i kept reminding her that that she's not here she's here to fulfill her passion and  if that is not what other people that you didn't get that that dream or that that direction right it was given to you it wasn't given to them right so they don't know what in your heart so you can't worry about if somebody do you realize you don't let that derail you because maybe you need to change your audience not your masses and exact and a lot of times because people can't see something for themselves correct then they're not sometimes the best people for you to talk because they're don't understand what they have they don't understand and because and sometimes you know well if i can't do it you can't do it because they define you  are those people and then at the same time if you have the opportunity to meet people who are two steps ahead of you that's quite scary because then that person you hopefully could mentor you her back and you could learn from their experiences and so forth but but but you know there's going to be a lot of times when you are frustrated and you know want to give up and it's so key so key to have somebody that you could talk to like you said have that little support system right and you know we don't we talk about this in the seminar as well but and i didn't cover it here but fear yes absolutely  know i can't tell you how many times i'm like ok who are you to do this i can't do this or whatever but it can sometimes it's nice regrouping ok get it together at the same time it's also having those of the people around me this if you could just kind of right so again don't get stuck in thinking that right one thing i just want people please don't get stuck in thinking so what i've done here is just a couple of things just to kind of help you to get started to get you out of documentary thinking brain at just take that first step to planning your life and to point out take a leap of faith take that first step in faith because i will tell you to get started and it's starting the journey to life two point zero and what it does this broken down into three many classes and ok one deals with reflection so there's something some questions to kind of get you to start re about your life moving forward the second many class is on managing change ok ok because regardless of where the election retire or you want to do something different it's still different it's change and then the third mini class we do look a little bit at this whole concept of the new on retirement ok for fun and have people to sort the you about with a wife it in and again it's not always working but it's teaching it's volunteer ing it's it's you at this point in your life ok so those are free classes awesome great so that is a quick review a quick overview of rewriting life with passion and you know jackie explaining a little bit more about
