Firstly, what do we mean by Rewire? While in a career much of your mental circuitry is devoted to your job. After you leave work you are freed up to do what you want to do and be who you want to be. This requires a rethink, adapting your circuitry to make the most of this new stage in other word REWIRING -something Neuroscience tells us we are capable of doing throughout our lives – rather than switching off and retiring.

Initially, ceasing to be an employee may seem like one long holiday but after a while being out on your own may not seem like such fun. It’s well worth being prepared for a stage which is no longer a brief interlude but is the start of an exciting new chapter and research shows that those who get advice about retirement adjust better. Yet most don’t plan for retirement, one recent study found  that the majority don’t know what is in their pension pot nor, just as important, how they want the rest of their days nearly 20pc – to be.

Rewirement is about making plans for this new chapter, turning dreams into realistic goals  and making them come true.  Retirement is one of the biggest changes in life and our interactive courses facilitate this major transition with practical information and psychological insights into the challenges and rewards of this new stage. Understanding the six stages of retirement,using the Wheel of Life and our model for planning helps couples and individuals build their own unique plans for REWIREMENT in tune with their values and skills.
