What People Say
"Your presentation today
resonated so much with me that I just had to
write to you. In the 15 months since I left
corporate life, my portfolio career is taking
shape, and it is so encouraging to hear of others
who are taking the less travelled road. It is
still a relatively new concept in our Region!"
Linah Koh
Self-employed Consultant
"Ban the word retirement.
Start planning at 50 for your next career. Don't
even think about pottering around with no firm
goals. As David Stratford says, the key is the
highly prized new economy quality - flexibility.
Flexibility in the workplace, job and career
switching, and multi-skilling - this all adds
up to good news for those thinking about a change
of pace as they get older. Baby-boomers expect
life on their own terms, and they aren't about
to be sidelined, preferring to take time out
for more balanced activities."
Catherine Fox
Australian Financial Review
"Working hard is one
of the facts of life. But what happens when
work stops? Too often, nothing" - says
David Stratford. He points the way along another
path, which involves planning and clear goals,
preceded by some constructive self-analysis.
The overall impact is a much clearer picture
of one's own current position and future direction.
This, in the end, might be the most valuable
asset one can have."
