FOCUS FORWARD: Reinventing Career and Retirement
Testimonial It is clear that the Focus Forward program has been carefully designed to support professionals like me who are transitioning into a different stage of their life. It was fascinating, inspiring, informative and practical. Lori’s lifelong passion for the subject matter; her expert facilitation skills; and her empathetic way of connecting with and honoring every participant all served to make it a wonderful, life-changing experience. I highly recommend it! ~ Ian Stone As you know in both business and life, it’s not just about asking questions, but asking the right questions. Focus Forward: Reinventing Career and Retirement is an integrated program exclusively and thoughtfully designed for professionals ages 50+ who are seeking career mobility and change or planning a post-career transition into retirement. Offered by the University of Denver’s college of professional and continuing studies, University College, the program helps you ask the relevant questions and determine the best course of action through new frameworks, tools and strategies that will help you map out the future you desire. Lead instructor Lori Zahn is a Hudson Institute Professional Certified Coach with extensive expertise in adult development and helping people just like you—professionals at this transitional point in their work lives—navigate successful midlife and “third age” transitions. The third age is a pivotal and exciting time in life beginning in our 50s. The Focus Forward program is designed to inspire, inform and motivate you no matter where you find yourself at this critical juncture. In a learning format ideally suited for adult learners, classes include a mix of presentation, discussion, interactive activities, relevant readings and assignments between classes. You will experience a built-in learning community of fellow students and online resources, and have access to ongoing support. The program begins with Planning for Change in the Third Age, a foundational workshop that first explores the third age and then presents a model and framework for navigating change and transition for lifelong renewal, as developed by The Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara, recognized experts in adult development, renewal and leadership training. Once this workshop is complete, you may enroll in Revitalizing Career or Reinventing Retirement. Additional short courses focusing on topics of interest, such as Healthy Aging and Expanding Community, are also offered.
