Over the past 30 years Bill, a psychologist, has used his knowledge of human behavior to consult to organizations and to coach their executives. Many of the people Bill has known and worked with over the years are retiring or are contemplating it. Many have asked Bill what they should know and think about as they move beyond their work-focused lives.  Then four years ago Bill's wife retired from her corporate job and focused Bill's attention on the personal, as well as the professional, aspects of this dynamic part of life. This book is the result of Bill's work with these accomplished people.\u003cbr\u003e Bill maintains his own executive coaching practice in the Boston area. In 2004, he coauthored a book with Margaret Butteriss that identified and described \u003ci\u003eCorporate MVPs\u003c\/i\u003e (Wiley, 2004). He has also owned and sold two businesses, been a vice president for sales and marketing of a publicly traded company, and helped found a venture capital-backed electronic communications company. For the past 12 years Bill has focused his work on coaching executives as they transition to their next challenge.\u003cbr\u003e Bill's professional training includes a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree from Boston University and post-doctoral training and teaching at Harvard University. Bill also teaches executive coaching to professionals looking to develop this expertise.  \u003cb\u003eHow do I know if I am financially secure?\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does it take to make friends outside of work?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is my role in taking care of my health?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI am not really sure what I want as I move beyond work.

For some accomplished people, putting a successful career behind them to enter retirement can be a daunting prospect to face. Others worry, sometimes unnecessarily, about financial and health concerns. And for some, the huge blank canvas of a looming life of leisure is more anxiety-provoking than it is exciting.
