Reinvent Retirement

We are growing older and living healthier lives. The concept of “retirement” is outdated. If you are 50 or 60 today, you could live for another 30 years. What will you do with all that time? We must reinvent ourselves and discover new purposes in our later years.

As an Executive Retirement Coach, I specialise in assisting leaders as they transition from success-driven careers to lives of significance. Through deep reflection, storytelling, and design thinking, I help clients craft post-career lives filled with meaning, creativity, and contribution.

Work With Me

Retirement isn't the end of the story — it's a bold new beginning.

If you are looking to rejuvenate your career or move on from your current position, I can serve as a thinking partner to assist you in exploring new frontiers.

Reinventing retirement and designing a new life beyond one’s title isn’t merely a financial event; it’s a life transition. For many high-performing executives, it marks the first time in decades that they’ve thought about this: Who am I when I’m not what I do?

This programme offers a transformative space to pause, reflect, and reimagine. Building on years of experience guiding mindfulness journeys for the Tibetan community in India, I assist participants in shifting their focus from rumination to reinvention.

I've contemplated with yogis in India, meditated with monks from Tibet, and tapped into the brilliant mind of Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl through his pioneering philosophy of Logotherapy.

You'll walk away with:

  • A clear sense of post-career purpose
  • Practical tools to design your next chapter
  • A renewed connection to what truly matters
Work With Me

Don’t retire from something — launch into something.

Call us and start crafting a life of significance, creativity, and contribution. I know what it's like to be at the pinnacle of success in the corporate world. It’s a heady, ego-affirming experience. It's exhilarating and hard to leave. I understand. When I departed from FCB, it felt as though I’d left my soul behind. Throughout my 17-year journey with mystics, monks, and yogis, along with my extensive experience in Logotherapy, I have learned how to maintain my equilibrium and discover fulfilment and meaning beyond the corporate world.

I don’t have all the answers, but I am deeply interested in being part of your challenge. I can help you turn a crossroads into a crossover point into something extraordinary: the second half. I can help you gain the understanding and vision you need to make the second half of your journey even more fulfilling than the first half.

Joyce
‘Klasie has been my coach and lead mentor over the last three years. I am a young woman with a start-up. When I met Klasie, I was between a rebranding and a pivot strategy in business. I found my sessions with Klasie insightful and encouraging, with a wide degree of thought. I always tell people in the entrepreneurial space that when you have mentors and leaders who understand and encourage you when the world is against you, half your battle is won. I would highly recommend Klasie as a coach. He has been invaluable in my transformation.’

Resilience

‘If you have a meaning in life, it will allow you to find a reason to continue, even when life is difficult. Happiness is only a fleeting emotion. While it’s wonderful to experience, it isn’t what ultimately sustains us.’
