Coaching

Three ways to work together.

One-on-one, couples, and family coaching โ€” all via Zoom. Individual sessions run 50 minutes; couples sessions run a full 90, because two Next Chapters take more room than one.

The Approach

Coaching, not therapy. Strategy, not advice.

Chris is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but this is not therapy โ€” and it is not financial, legal, or medical advice. It is structured coaching for the practical and emotional architecture of your Next Chapter.

i.

Identity & Purpose

What does it mean to be you when the title on your business card disappears? We work through professional identity, family roles, and the new sources of meaning that take their place.

ii.

Connection & Community

Loneliness is a declared U.S. public health crisis โ€” and retirees feel it first. We map your circles of connection and build a deliberate plan to keep them strong.

iii.

Structure & Rhythm

An open calendar sounds like freedom until you live it. Together we design a daily rhythm built on your values โ€” not someone else's idea of how a retiree spends their time.

These areas are part of the five parts of your Next Chapter โ€” see how they move together โ†’

Start With the Assessment

The Retirement Intelligence (RQ) Assessment.

Not ready to commit to coaching? Start with the comprehensive online RQ assessment on its own. You complete it on your own time, receive your own copy of the assessment to review before the meeting, and then sit down with Chris for a dedicated consultation to read the results together โ€” and decide, with no obligation, whether there's more to work on.

Your Next Chapter crew

Nobody does this alone.

Retirement isn't one decision โ€” it's a body of parts, and each one has a person attached to it. Chris uses this map with organizations and individuals alike: you're at the center, and around you sits your pre-retirement crew to support you. A change in one crew member brings about changes in the others.

An aerial view of a wooden rowing boat with four pairs of oars laid out and no one aboard
“So, to mix metaphors a little โ€” you'll want a crew in your boat to help you sail forward.”

The oars are ready. The seats are not filled by themselves.

HR Legal Financial Insurance Coach Wellbeing Connec-tions You
  • Your coach โ€” and your benefits navigatorChris doesn't just hand you a list and wish you luck. He helps you work out which questions to ask, who to ask, and what to do with the answers โ€” the same "benefits navigator" role he plays on-site for a major employer.
  • HR & benefitsWhat your organization actually offers on the way out, and the processes and timing behind it.
  • LegalWills, trusts, and advance directives โ€” the paperwork nobody enjoys and everybody needs.
  • FinancialYour advisor, your assets, Social Security timing. Chris doesn't give financial advice; he makes sure the question gets to the right chair.
  • Insurance & health coverageMedicare, long-term care, and the plan change that catches people off guard the month they retire.
  • WellbeingYour primary care, exercise, cognitive and mental health โ€” the foundation the rest of it stands on.
  • ConnectionsFamily, friends, mentors, former colleagues, community. The crew that stays in the boat long after HR waves goodbye.

Some of the members of your crew may be temporary and will exit your boat (like HR once you've left your organization). Others will remain throughout your Next Chapter.

Good to know

Simple terms, in writing.

Sessions are held over Zoom (phone as a backup). Cancellations need 24 hours' notice โ€” emergencies excepted, and Chris extends you the same courtesy. The full agreement is shared during your complimentary consultation, so you can read everything before you ever commit.

Not sure which fits? Start with a conversation.

A complimentary 20-minute consultation โ€” no pressure, no commitment. A conversation, and a connection.
