Doing the NEXT CHAPTER with you and the other ladies moved me from “not knowing what to do” in this new season to a “ I have a plan”. Now I just have to do the action part. The fact that we were a group made it easier to share and to hear what others thought. Thank you for your initiative to introduce us to the new possibilities of being retired but not ready to be excluded from a working life. The NEXT CHAPTER sessions provided me with the tools and encouragement to start this new “Retired – but contributing to society (and personal finances)” season.

I joined this course not having a clue of what I could possibly offer or do once I retire in 5 years. Lynda not only structured the course to share invaluable info with us, she also shared her own personal walk and gave us a safe platform to honestly share our feelings and journey with each other. This type of environment has unlocked for me new ways of thinking, getting to know myself better and most of all self-worth and the realisation that I do have a number of skills that I can use in my new career after retirement and to the benefit of others. Hearing feedback from others in the group is so helpful.

Lynda Smith's coaching course "Building a Legacy Seasons 50+" was worth every cent I spent on it. I benefited tremendously from the course and am grateful that I decided to participate. Through all the sessions, discussions and workbooks, with putting in thought, reflection and hard work, I learnt a lot about myself and what I can do in my next season, so much so that I'm ready to begin my own freelance (2nd) career next year. I have no doubt that the course will be helpful to anyone else who decides to do it, as long as they participate actively

Just SA is pleased to be a sponsor of 50Plus-Skills. We value the work they are doing in rethinking retirement, particularly in raising awareness about financial planning for retirement and in encouraging the 50Plus age group to creatively rethink their working future so that they can continue being economically active for as long as possible.

You are such a pleasure to work with and really look forward to more and more conversations with you in terms of the delivery of such incredible content and advice to our 50plus employees as well as coaching offerings for our employees to help them with navigating the plans for their retirement plans.
