Coaching for Third Agers (50+)

  • Are you reevaluating your life and asking yourself: Where have I been?  Where am I now?  Where am I going?
  • Are you wondering about how to approach the next half of your life with passion and purpose?
  • Are you retiring from your organization job and wondering, "Who am I, now that I am no longer a ...?"
  • Are you thinking about your legacy?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then you are probably also aware that planning for “retirement” does not mean just having a financial plan. 

Longer life spans and better health are leading many people to ask: What is a meaningful way to contribute to the world in the next 20 or 30 years?  How can I make the most of my elder years and become a wise and compassionate person as well? What do I want my legacy to be?  How do I want my grandchildren to remember me?

If these questions strike a chord with you, then talk to Betsy about creative ways to explore this uncharted territory.

Betsy Cole has successfully navigated these waters.  Widowed in 1999, she retired from corporate life in 2000, moved across country to be closer to her children and grandchildren, started her own business, and created a new life and a new identity in a new town.  Betsy is a "wise woman" and powerful elder who engages in everyday life with energy and enthusiasm. As President of the Life Planning Network, Betsy is actively involved in helping to create new ways of looking at an understanding this exciting chapter of life.

In addition to her role as an executive coach, Betsy also enjoys her life as a compassionate friend, mother, and grandmother.
