Add Value Beyond Your Corporate Career
Unsure of how to shape your legacy? We’re here to be your trusted advisor.
FROM INTENSITY
After decades of leadership, it can be difficult for seasoned executives to picture what a fulfilling retirement or next step entails. Few want to leave an active corporate career without a clear plan for how you’ll spend your time, leverage your skills, and continue to add value.

TO INTENTION
Legacy Planning in the final months of your tenure will help you envision a future that combines your personal passions with your leadership skills and experience, at a pace that fits your desire for work-life balance.

A Once-in-a-Career Opportunity
Now is the time to work on your legacy plan. Guidance from your custom-matched consultant will help reduce the stress and uncertainty that often accompany a retirement or departure decision.
Our team will help you explore your encore options to identify the ideal work-life balance, and we’ll provide support and guidance through the uncharted territory of leaving well.
“Think about what the next transition looks like, whether it’s different employment, retirement, entrepreneurship, and be intentional about it. I feel really confident about the next season.”
