About this course
The presenting issues for your clients in retirement planning primarily revolve around money: how much will they need, how should they invest it, how can they withdraw each month without compromising their future sustainability. Of course these are very important considerations. But Consumer Reports selected us as one of the "15 best books on retirement" because we connect the concerns about money to a deeper, more significant subject: how will I make my retirement years have purpose? Will I retain a community? Will my days have structure that appeals to me? How can I create a purposeful new life I will truly enjoy. And then, what will that life cost, can I afford it, and if not, how do I adjust my priorities to make it work?
We show you how to help your clients explore their underlying motivational needs and mine their past experiences to better understand themselves and use that information to formulate their retirement lifestyle.
And we find that in connecting with your potential clients through the language that they present-- "can we afford our future existence"?-- if you also probe and respond to the unspoken question-- how can our retirement years be fulfilling-- you will be more effective in helping them create a purposeful and happy retirement."
The course leaders are Alan Bernstein, a renowned psychotherapist based in New York specializing in life transitions, and John Trauth, a strategic and financial planner based in San Francisco. Students participate in a video seminar where they do exercises and mine their past experiences to generate critical information that they can use to create their own unique strategic plan for retirement,
Don't take this course unless you are wiling to put in the time to fully participate in the exercises (workbook provided).

When the course participants in the video are doing the exercises, you will do them at the same time. For legal and privacy purposes, the voices of the participants have been muted, but you will get the essence of their comments from the presenters' responses.
