We don’t know how long we will live, but the capacity for change is a vital resilience skill. As we age, new opportunities open for us and new challenges may confront us. The continuance of your life’s contribution should not end with career retirement, personal mobility issues, or the achievement of a specific age. In this specific time of your life’s journey, let us help you or someone you love, honor themselves, celebrate their depth of wisdom, and continue to reach the full dimension of the gifts yet to be given. Coaching can assist you with your next life choices to "strategically age", reconnecting core values that truly are your guiding principles, while discarding those that make you non-congruent with your internal gifts. Strategic aging is conscious living, the transition to living in synchronization with your core beliefs and the choices you have yet to make. Our coaching will help you end the cycle of I should have or why don't I'? Together, we will address these areas, creating your 'strategic aging' life:
	Clarify the issues & opportunities facing you now
	Define a true description of your final outcome & the time period for fulfillment
	Identify competent resources you may need for complete fulfillment
	Honor those values that are still guiding principles& shed those that do not serve you
	Acknowledge your flexibility along the road to your final achievement
With our assistance in your transition, you can design your 'strategic age life' without guilt.

What's Next? BACK TO TOP All of us have progressed on our journey, having families, pursuing academic or professional success, becoming political advocates, assuming social responsibility; and, assuring environmental safety for future generations. Along this journey your outlook may have shifted or radically changes from those you held in family conventions or acquired by association. So what's next? The continuance of your life's contribution should not end with career or military retirement, end of child rearing, personal mobility issues, or the achievement of a specific age. We invite you to realize your 'what's next' with us.
	How will this resolution (promise) bring meaningful change to my life?
	Are there external resources you will need to help achieve this objective?
	If others are involved, what competency or skills do they need to help you?
	Is the time frame you've established truly reasonable for your lifestyle?
	What are your fallback plans in the event your pursuit does not proceed exactly as planned?
	If this resolution is a larger community movement, are you certain you have the staying power for efforts this significant?

Home Living Transitions BACK TO TOP
Each of us has created our homes with loving care. This home represents the unique identity of our life's achievements, community contributions; and, can contain smiling photos of our family's legacy. The transition to independent or assisted living communities can be overwhelming. We understand the process of activities involved can cause confusion and fear: what to take, what to leave, what to give to relatives, do you keep your own doctors, what activities will you continue or delete, how will you make new friends; along with, creating the identity of your unique life's contributions. We believe that the transition from a home of 50 or more years should be a continuing celebration of your life. We have developed a transition program assisting the Elder and their family in taking the appropriate steps to create and celebrate a new home

The Care Giver Family----Are you asking?
	Are you practicing loving behavior to yourself as well as your Elder?
	Does your weekly schedule include private time to reconnect to the 'cosmos' strengthening your spiritual harmony?
	In your domain of responsibility, who is going to be responsible for your well being?

For Residence Staff----Are You Asking?
	How does your staff see themselves as tapping their core values to deliver resident satisfaction?
	Do core values differ per job position in a resident community?
	Why? How?
	How does the staff establish trust with the residents, their peers, their management to achieve excellence?
