"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

~ William Arthur Ward

The LifeOptions Program

The LifeOptions Program provides a personal, practical, and relevant self-portrait of your overall needs as you contemplate the transition from full time work into the retirement lifestyle that you will create. It is designed to assist you by giving you the most accurate personal data possible so you can make the best decisions and formulate the most rewarding life plans.

There are four components of The LifeOptions Program:

1) The LifeOptions Assessment, a 99-item online assessment instrument that covers 20 separate lifestyle and attitudinal factors arranged into Six Life Arenas . The LifeOptions Assessment will provide you with a clear, well-ordered, and scaled overview of how you compare to others in a similar life circumstance regarding your personal growth and preparedness for the life transition we call retirement.

2) The Retirement Lifestyle Planning Report gives you with a clear, concise, yet comprehensive overview of your current ideas about retirement. It provides a short description of the Six Life Arenas and each of the 20 factors that are applicable to you and helps you clarify and plan for your ultimate retirement lifestyle.

3) “What Color is Your Retirement: the LifeOptions guidebook to discover, plan and live your retirement dream” by Richard P. Johnson, Ph.D., is used exclusively in conjunction with the LifeOptions Profile. This will be e-mailed to you in PDF format.

4) One on One Coaching: You will work one on one with Barbara, a certified LifeOptions coach, who will help you personalize and deepen your understanding of the content of each factor of the assessment. Barbara will help you discover your own truth and focus on your "next action steps."
