Private sessions with Thelma Mariano (Montreal)
Coaching for Baby Boomers
Like you, I am a baby boomer (born between 1946 and 1964). I retired from the corporate work force ten years ago. After 31 years in administrative positions, could I re-invent my life to more fully reflect who I was? I became a public speaker through Toastmasters, gave a series of motivational workshops to help others achieve their dreams and did personal coaching. Now I am pursuing another of my dreams as I master the skills of story writing.
As we head into our 50s and 60s, it’s important to take stock of where we are and consider where we want to go. We may be pushed out of the work force earlier than expected due to layoffs, health issues or other priorities. As baby boomers, we are also less likely to stay in unfulfilling careers as we near retirement.
Many of us still want to work, but on our own terms and doing what we truly enjoy.
Coaching for Baby Boomers will help you see what would bring the most meaning to your life now. Activities like golf, playing bridge or travel may not take up all your time OR satisfy your need for purpose. And watching more TV will only make you stagnate. You need the stimulation of new challenges to keep growing.

Testimonial
“I’ve been retired now for nine months. Although I prepared for my retirement both financially and socially, meeting with Thelma and using her tools were a tremendous help in realizing what I need to do in order to live the life I want and not carelessly drift along.
“Her material is uncomplicated, easy to apply and fun. In doing just one of her exercises I was able to focus on what I wish to accomplish and realized that what I thought I wanted nine months ago is not the same today. It was a powerful and reassuring insight.”
