What Do I Hope to Gain From This Course?
"Reflection, both as an individual and collective activity, can be thought of as the bridge between awareness and change, turning experience into insight, and insight into action."
As you pause to consider what you hope to gain from this course, look beyond surface goals, such as feeling ready for retirement or finding new interests. Ask yourself what sits beneath those aims. What are you really hoping to strengthen, restore, or discover?
Good self-esteem and self-worth, which are critical for a successful retirement, grow when we understand ourselves clearly and act in ways that respect who we are.
Reflection supports this growth and helps you notice and measure progress, usefully make sense of your experiences, and effectively respond to yourself with kindness and compassion rather than criticism and judgement.
You Might Hope To:
Build confidence in who you are beyond your working identity.
Develop the resilience to navigate change calmly and effectively.
Strengthen your sense of personal value and professional purpose.
Create a retirement that reflects your worth, not just your circumstances.
Take time to write your thoughts freely. There are no right or wrong answers, only honest ones. What you write now will become the foundation for the work that follows.
To deepen your reflection, consider questions like:
- check_circleWhere do I feel confident about myself, and where might my self-worth be lacking?
- check_circleWhat would a fulfilling, self-respecting version of retirement look like, feel like and mean for me?
- check_circleHow do I want to grow as a person during this next stage of life?
These reflections are your starting point, a personal definition of what “retiring with impact” means to you.
What Do I Hope To Gain?
Where in my life do I already feel positive, and where is work still required? What would a fulfilling retirement look and feel like for me? How do I want to grow as a person during this next stage of life?
