You’ve reflected on the quality of your conversations with others, started to recognise what helps and what hinders, and identified the qualities and characteristics that make a real difference to you.
Remember to connect the insights gained to your personal aims, visualisations, intentions and commitments, thinking about the retirement you want to shape and the role you need and want your conversations with others to play.
I want more conversations that help me explore new interests and collaborations.
I want more honest, open exchanges with family about how we see this next stage of life.
I want more time with people who challenge and inspire me in equal measure.
I want fewer circular or draining discussions and more that lead to decisions or insight.
Note: The goal is NOT perfect conversations with others, but helpful and IMPACTFUL ones.
In the next section, we turn inwards to conversations with yourself.
