Dorian Mintzer, owner of RevolutionizeRetirement.com, a retirement coaching firm, was recently quoted as an expert in an August article by Kerry Hannon in The New York Times.

The article, Finding an Identity Beyond the Workplace, notes that when people retire, they may think that they are prepared for retirement, but they are often fooling themselves.  Many plan for retirement financially, but fail to plan anything else about this major life transition.  Those retirees are opting to hire a retirement coach like Mintzer, a trend that is growing in popularity.

Retirement coaches cater to a growing number of boomers who are grappling with what's next in their third stage of life.  The retirement coaching process usually starts with a self-assessment that examines values and strengths and clarifies goals, hopes and dreams for the future.

Mintzer notes, "Retirement is clearly no longer the destination that it used to be. Now, the likelihood is, you have 20, 30, maybe 40 more years ahead of you, and that's a long time to not know what you want to do. I've definitely seen an upsurge in pre-planning for people who want to think ahead and figure out what is it I want to do, how do I want to live my life, who will I be if I'm not working,"

 

Mintzer, M.S.W., Ph.D., B.C.C. (Board Certified Coach) has written about many topics pertaining to transitioning to retirement. She speaks to professional and community groups. As a coach, she helps 50-to-70 something women, men, and couples reinvent themselves in the next stage of life. She's the founder of the Boomers and Beyond Special Interest Group for interdisciplinary professionals, and the 4th Tuesday Revolutionize your Retirement Interview Series for professionals and the public. She is co-author of The Couples Retirement Puzzle: 10 Must-Have Conversations for Creating an Amazing Life Together and has also contributed to Not Your Mother’s Retirement, Live Smart after 50!, 65 Things to do When you Retire, The Six Secrets to a Happy Retirement,  65 Things to do When you Retire: Travel and 70 Things to do When you Turn 70.

Mintzer combines her personal and professional experiences as a therapist, coach, teacher and speaker with her expertise in adult development and life planning as she works to help people navigate the second half of life. She uses her energy, enthusiasm and passion and creates a dynamic learning environment that energizes and inspires her audiences and her clients. She has a deep belief in the capacity of people to develop a "realistic optimism" about aging and create purpose and meaning in "the second half of life."
