Who Would You Be Without All Your Doubts and Fears About Your Next Big Life/Career Transition?

Best Chapter Coaching


Best Chapter Coaching for Successful Major Life/Career Transitions… Make your next chapter your best chapter.

You may be thinking…

I Love What I Do, ​But Is There More To Life While I Still Have Time?
If I Walk Away Now, ​Will I Just Fade Away Into Insignificance?​
What If I Don’t Have A Clue ​What To Do Without My Work? 
Have you had enough of procrastination, indecision, and maybe even stagnation, in your current role/situation and feel that it’s time to start focusing on the last third of your life? If you knew you could not fail at designing and living a life you love without becoming invisible and bored, would you do it?  I would love to have a conversation with you about how you can make your next chapter your best chapter!

Let’s talk!
​

You’ve given your heart and soul to your career or entrepreneurial venture and you are a superstar. You are well respected in your industry and are very proud of what you have accomplished. You have loved feeling essential to the success of important outcomes through your leadership, and maybe even your thought leadership. People depend on you. And now you’re beginning to wonder what’s next? Frankly, you’re tired. And you’re curious about what life would be like without the challenge, the sense of accomplishment, the recognition…but it’s really scary. Thinking about waking up on a Monday morning with no meetings to attend, only a few emails to answer, and no one to lead or manage scares the bejesus out of you. Sure, you could play golf, travel, volunteer—but would that be enough?

Are You Wondering: 
​
  • I don’t want to work forever, but when is the best time to pull the trigger?
  • When I think of my future without work or business ownership, I wonder how I will find meaning and purpose without meetings to run, a team to lead or be part of, a sense of being a vital part of important initiatives?
  • I have a low hum of anxiety in my chest when I think of days on end with no office to go to. What if the anxiety just keeps getting worse? What if I am bored or depressed?   
  • What will I say when I meet new people, and they ask what I do? What will my new identity be?
  • I am financially secure and don’t really need to work anymore, I just can’t imagine how I will have a sense of significance without work? Will I just quietly disappear?

If you have been grappling with these and other questions successful Baby Boomers are asking themselves, believe me, you are not alone. There are 340,000,000 entries in the Google search engine for the query, “how to have a happy retirement.” And many of us are looking at the last 1/3 of our lives and wondering what lies ahead. 

Now is the time to stop wondering “What is going to become of me without work?” The better question is “How can I plan mentally/emotionally as well as [I have] financially to make the next chapter of my life, the best chapter?”

A successful transition from a lifetime of creating meaning, purpose, and significance through one’s career doesn’t just happen by accident. It takes preparation, self-awareness, and a customized road map for the journey. All significant life transitions have predictable stages that can be traumatic if not anticipated and navigated with self-awareness and wisdom.
Hear What Erin, John, and Susan Have to Say About Their Challenges and How They Were Able to Have Successful Transitions Into Their Best Chapters:

Susan
Retired After a 50-year Career From a Successful Wealth Management Practice
“I am so grateful Rebecca was there to guide me through the 6 years of planning and execution as I selected, coached, and mentored my successor. I had invested so much of myself in working with clients I truly loved and agonized over leaving them and their financial futures in someone else’s hands. As a result of our coaching, I was able to feel confident that they would be well cared for, and one-by-one we dismantled all my fears about loss of significance and how I could be happy without my work. I am 100% confident that I am entering my best chapter yet. Having Rebecca as my coaching partner has been essential to this successful transition!”
John
​Retired as a Senior Leader After a 33-year Career in a Government Agency
“I felt like it was time to make a change but had a hard time making the decision. My 33-year career as a leader and significant contributor in a government agency I loved was immensely rewarding, and I am young for retirement—only 55. My health had suffered for a long time as a result of being in a high stress environment and I was able to make the decision to transition into my next chapter to restore my wellbeing so that I could truly enjoy my life—not just soldier through it. With Rebecca as my coach and thinking partner, I was able to deal with my ego needs and envision a robust and exciting future out of government service. Her gentle approach and ability to work at a very deep level were invaluable in helping me build a bridge to my best chapter.”
Erin
Successful C-Suite Executive Took a Step Back and Reconnected with Her True Purpose
“I have literally worked hard my whole life—well, ever since I was 14. Rebecca and I started with a two-day intensive so that I could take a hard look at the toll that lifestyle had taken on me, my relationships, my health, and my self-worth. I decided I wanted to break the “type A” pattern, and reluctantly agreed to take a 6-month sabbatical. Wow! I had never been able to sit still (without accomplishing something, anything) and read a novel. It was hard, but one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Rebecca, you nailed it! My pattern of sacrificing my wellbeing for my career is now broken, and I can relax and enjoy my life. Best of all, I decided not to limit my career options to CEO/CFO positions and accepted my new role in order to make a difference and live my next chapter doing work with meaning and purpose.”

Rebecca Bradley Best Chapter Coaching
As a veteran Executive Coach (yes, I’m a Boomer too), I have many long-term clients who have reached retirement age as we have continued to work together over years, sometimes decades. I have helped them through the process of making the decision of when to retire, how to create a succession plan and choose and groom a successor, and how to formulate a new definition of success—one that is not based on position, deadlines, meetings, and bonuses. 

The Mind Connector process has been instrumental in helping my clients remove the barriers related to uncertainty, anxiety, and indecision as the transition into retirement looms on the horizon. Being able to tap into the subconscious mind and release all the fears and confusion associated with the unknown has a been a game changer for me and my ability to help my clients have a smooth, graceful transition from career to retirement with optimism and confidence. 

Here is My Story:
You may have read a little about my story on the “ME” page of this website; it bears repeating here. In 2008 I found myself in a failing marriage, almost bankrupt because of real estate investments gone bad, and a physical and mental wreck from the stress of overwork (traveling all over the country conducting Coaching Skills workshops for leaders). 

Then a miracle happened. My life was saved by a coach who worked with me to clear out all the trauma and negative energy I had been holding. It was a very different experience than any coaching I had ever received (and that has been a lot!!). This experience not only enabled me to begin to create my best chapter but sent me on a quest to learn how to help others at a deeper level than the conscious mind. Within six months’ time, I was divorced, had moved to a wonderful supportive community, and had begun to restore my financial health. Two years after that, I had built a charming cottage, found the love of my life, and ended my road-warrior life of grueling traveling/facilitating.

Now, at age 72, I am in what I call pre-retirement, coaching clients I adore three days a week and continuing to follow my passion of learning research-based modalities for working with people at the level of the subconscious mind. I am so glad I didn’t retire before I discovered how to help people in this deep and profound way. My husband and I live on a lake and enjoy boating and this year I learned to stand-up-paddleboard. We travel 6-8 weeks a year, and I write poetry, horse-back ride, hike, knit, and…well you get the idea! I am living my very best chapter and looking forward to the future with optimism and confidence. When will I truly retire? Not sure—I love my clients and what I do too much to make that choice just yet. Stay tuned…

I would love to spend a few minutes with you (no pressure!) hearing about your life, your work, your dreams and sharing a little more about how I partner with clients to mid-wife those dreams into reality.
