Adversity Imprison
Or Liberate?
My focus is on Late Adulthood clients, those that want to create a legacy, rekindle their passions and dreams they have left dangling on the back burner for so long. Those in retirement now rethink and exit retirement and build new businesses instead! Drawing on their vault of wisdom, unique experiences, and expertise honed over many years. Clients, in many cases, are at the crossroads of their lives and are in the best position to be influential. Questions for consideration: "Can I make my life count and make a difference to myself and the others around me?
