3rd Stage Career Coaching

3rd Stage Career Coaching is great for people who have sold a business or had a professional career and now want to find more meaning and purpose in their post-primary work.

Often, as we reach our 50's, 60', and even 70's we find that we want to find satisfaction about who we are in what we do, build relationships with people we work with who both value us and encourage us to succeed with them and to work on a problem or cause greater than ourselves for the common good.

If you have skill sets, experiences, and wisdom from a lifelong career, retirement coaching can leverage those assets to enable you to continue to work in a more fulfilling and life-affirming way.

Is Career Coaching For You?

My approach to 3rd stage career coaching is to determine what kind of whole-person life you want at this life stage and specifically imagine what that experience would be and then to understand where you are now, what you would do if you were not afraid, remove hindrances, and work through how to achieve what you want.

I will help you develop a skills/experience inventory and what you believe would make you fulfilled.

Teach you how to have autonomy and flexibility to apply yourself in new ways of working (including virtual, remote ways of working).

Help you build the relationships that will enable you to thrive and enjoy your post-retirement work.

Help you define and determine which roles best suit you in which sectors (non-profit, volunteer, advisory, etc).

Schedule a Call with Jeff

Transitioning to retirement can be a very jarring, demanding, and disconcerting process. It's a reversal of the role you've played in life for decades. It's a new role you have never played before. It's a time of uncertainty, self-assessment, and self-doubt. It's also a time of high opportunity, calling for both optimism and proactive design.

I have found that Jeff Saperstein is the ideal coach for this transition. He is one of those expert listeners who can draw out your innermost thoughts, positive or negative, for examination in the rich, bright light his empathic inquiry can shine. In that way, he ensures that everything you need to put on your own table before deciding how to arrange it is identified, classified, and made available. You don't hide anything from yourself when Jeff is coaching you.

Having set the table, Jeff then applies process and facilitates a systematic step-by-step advance through your capabilities, what you're good at and what you like, and the nature of the unique contribution you are able to make. He gently persuades you to convince yourself about the highest and best path to take. You emerge energized, self-confident, and excited for your future. Jeff has quietly and gently brought that out of you.

You could not choose a better coach.

"I had the pleasure of working with Jeff and found him to be highly professional, perceptive and very knowledgeable on a range of issues. He asks open ended questions to allow you to express yourself in an open and forthright manner but he is also able to be very specific when the situation demands. Most important of all he is an excellent listener so you don't need to repeat yourself and you realize that he has a talent of distilling information he hears into astute observations. He is careful not to be telling you what to do but rather he asks good questions, and makes intelligent observations and is always mindful that it is the client who must decide what to do. It was a great pleasure working with Jeff."
