Facing Retirement
About half of our current workforce is facing retirement. In some organizations, numbers are even higher. How can we re-vision the idea of retirement that enables retention of organizational knowledge as well as meeting the needs of those who wish to move on? Our quick fix, one-step world provides us with every convenience to get ahead, advance and develop. If this is true, then why are so many people voicing dissatisfaction with their lives and where they are? Perhaps we’ve become more focused on the destination rather than the journey. We’ve become distracted with the making of plans, rather than living them.
The Third Age
Approaching the “third age” of life can be a challenge but also provides immense opportunity. Acquiring a clearer understanding of our own journey ultimately provides an understanding and respect for the pathways of others. This understanding opens the lines of communication and doors of opportunity to engage, collaborate and grow – in every area of our lives.
Re-visioning Retirement
This workshop has been especially created to motivate and develop alternative retirement plans that fit BOTH the organization AND the people who make it work. Participants will learn how re-visioning retirement can enhance an employer of choice program while simultaneously bridging the compassionate gaps between employment and the opportunities beyond. To re-vision retirement means considering a new beginning, perhaps even crafting an entirely new career. Wherever your personal journey may take you, this workshop will help you chart those future waters.
Upon completion, learners will know how to…
Extend their “brand” through alternative retirement programs
Identify and target key employees for knowledge retention and transfer
Build knowledge banks and human capital
Enhance their personal, employee and customer experience

Throughout the course of my 30+ years in postsecondary education I have yet to meet someone as innovative, intelligent and passionate as Ginger Grant. She is someone I could spend all day talking to and most importantly, learning from! Her love of knowledge and its eloquent transfer puts her at the forefront of what we aspire to do both in continuous professional learning and at Humber. Ginger is the ONLY speaker I have chosen to personally endorse; I will be attending this session and actively encouraging other lovers of intentional visioning to do the same.
