A couple of months before I was to retire I was on a plane from San Francisco to Atlanta. I found myself telling the woman sitting next to me of all of my concerns and fears about my upcoming retirement. She asked my permission to ask some questions. Her questions were thought provoking and inspired. I found out she was a life coach and before leaving the plane I hired her to coach me into my retirement. Retirement? The joke was on me.

         I spent a half an hour a week with her on the phone for three months. During that time I got in touch with what matters to me, what I am good at and how I could make a contribution doing what I love. For me coaching really began with the homework, which we designed to help me create the movement to put the next steps into place, easily and effortlessly. Now I too am a coach specializing in the corporate field. I work as much or as little as I want. I do it from my home. I learned how to integrate all of the things that I love into my day.

 I have tremendous gratitude to Siama for assisting me in overcoming my limiting beliefs about the last years of my life having to be useless, meaningless and boring. Thank you Siama. You are an outrageous ally!
