Retirement Planning

Get ready to meet your next stage with clarity, confidence and excitement!

Longevity has given us the opportunity to take a new approach to ‘life after work’.  With 25 to 30 years ahead, many want to plan a whole new stage, where they can pursue new aspirations, tap into previously less used or even hidden talents and continue to engage and contribute to society.

More Info

At Coaching Matters we bring a fresh innovative, practical approach to support the modern–day retiree, in transitioning to this stage and in identifying and creating a future that will fulfil them.

Programme Outline
The objective of the programme is to support the individual in preparing for what is one of life’s most complex transitions and in getting the most from their next new stage.  It is structured in 3 parts.

  • Identity and its significance going forward

Everyday Wellbeing

A short course in understanding and looking after yourself.

Why are some days a breeze, some just ok and others a struggle? WHAT IS GOING ON?
Designed and co delivered by Justin Phelan (Mindfulness Teacher) and Philomena McCabe.

This programme will show us how to access our own well-being using a gentle mindful approach.  It explores what contributes to and what interferes with our sense of well-being and dispels the myths of the self-help books which prod us to fight negative thinking and imply we need to be ‘fixed’.  This programme offers an alternative approach of ease and acceptance which is underpinned by the Mindfulness process.

In this evidenced based programme we will introduce you to ideas and techniques which have been scientifically researched and have been shown to help in dealing with the ups and down of everyday life.

Topics

  • Understanding how the mind and brain work
  • Why we are the way we are
  • The four key pillars of wellbeing – Outlook, Attention, Resilience and Generosity
  • Paying attention to what is important
  • Responding to our thoughts and feelings in a more effective way
