Still Not Ready to Retire? You're Not Alone, and You're Not Behind

If you're a successful lawyer or doctor in the twilight of your career, you already know this isn't the winding-down phase people promised.

You're still juggling firm or hospital politics, changing policies, high-stakes clients or patients—and let's not even talk about the rising cost of college tuition (hello, kids in school.)

Retirement? That's going to have to wait another 10… maybe 15 years.

And guess what? That's not a failure. It's justreal life.

Why a Sounding Board Isn't a Luxury—It's a Lifeline

At this stage, not having a sounding board is like walking a tightrope in a windstorm—blindfolded.

You've got too many years of experience and wisdom to be second-guessing yourself in isolation.

But without a trusted coach or advisor, you may find yourself stuck in your own head, recycling old thoughts, and repeating the same patterns.

You need perspective. You need clarity. You need someone outside the politics of your firm, your hospital, or your own echo chamber.

That's where a seasoned expert coach comes in. Someone who's been around long enough to spot your blind spots… and help you avoid the trapdoors.

Meet Ben. A Lawyer Like You.

Ben had been practicing law for over 30 years. Smart. Respected and stuck.

He wasn't ready to retire—but he also wasn't sure what came next. The partners were younger, the politics were louder, and the future felt… foggy.

He had three options:

• Transition gracefully into a new arena

• Revitalize his practice with fresh purpose

• Craft a succession plan with dignity

Ben reached out for coaching (that's me, Pamela). And together, we uncovered a fourth option:Reinvention.

Now? Ben's doing the work he loves in a way that fits his lifestyle and values. He's not winding down—he's just getting started.

Your Wonder Years Are Ahead

You may still have 10-15 years of meaningful, high-impact work in you. Don't let confusion or fear block your brilliance.

Whether you're building a business, redefining your legacy, or just trying to stay sane while navigating internal firm drama—this is your moment to get support.

A sounding board won't just help you think differently—it will help youlive differently.

And if you're feeling like Ben once did?
