Ernest Hemingway once said “Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.” We spend our entire careers waiting to retire to a fulfilling life. Herein lies the problem for most new retirees. What makes up that fulfilling life? Studies tell us that a full third of people have difficulty adapting to retirement and for very good reasons. Our new generation of retirees, once called Baby Boomers, is retiring in better health, with far more vigour, and longer life-expectancy than any generation in the history of humankind. With all of these great years ahead of you, which amount in essence to a second mid-life, what are you going to do? Our Retirement Workshop will help clients rethink the years they have ahead of them and help them decide what they want out of those years.

Networking is a critically important element to successful career transition. Most employment opportunities are never advertised. The 'unadvertised' market has been estimated at four times the size of the 'advertised' market, reinforcing the idea that most jobs are filled from personal networks. In fact, statistics show that greater than 67% of people are obtaining their next position through networking.
With this in mind, it is important to learn how to identify, build and maintain a professional network.

The job offer process is becoming more complicated and requires far more attention to detail than ever before. Gone are the days of the “handshake” deal. Candidates today are being presented with multiple-page, complicated legal documents that can confound and intimidate the unprepared. Once you understand the offer, what do you do with it? Hopefully negotiate it. Our Job Offer and Negotiation Workshop was designed and is facilitated by former recruiters who have written, extended and negotiated job offers and can assist clients in making sense of the process and to develop a negotiation strategy in order to get what they are looking for from their new position.

Having worked your entire career and become an expert at what you do, with the wisdom and maturity to make excellent decisions, it may be surprising to you that we live in a society that values youth. We are constantly bombarded by anti-aging propaganda where a youthful physique, face and outlook are the ideal. However, as George Bernard Shaw once said “Youth is wasted on the young.” Experienced workers over the age of 45 have the most to offer employers including the intuitive knowledge and excellent judgment garnered from long-careers and mistakes made early on. Unfortunately, experienced workers face increasing ageism in the job market and new barriers often exist for them in re-entering employment. NEXCareer’s “Marketing Wisdom & Maturity” Workshop will help clients understand where these barriers lie and how to be pro-active in overcoming them to find a fulfilling career where their wisdom and experience are valued and respected.

The ability to manage one’s time has been one of the defining characteristics of successful professionals for many years. Time Management is about choices; about being able to do all of the things you want and need to do in the time you have, in order to live a balanced and therefore less stressful life. Over the last three decades many books have been written on the systems and techniques of Time Management as society and technology have increased the demands on our time and as work has crept slowly into what used to be our home lives. It is possible to find a new balance by using techniques that focus on scheduling priorities as opposed to prioritizing schedules. NEXCareer’s Time Management workshop will help clients understand how they perceive and value time, what they want to accomplish, and how to get it done using Third Generation tools and techniques that put them in control of their schedule – enabling clients to get the most out of their time and their life.
