In retrospect, I should have worked with a life coach to ascertain what my legacy was as an adviser and to find satisfactory closure. Also, I should have explored more deeply what else I wanted to pursue intellectually during the next phase of my life. I found out the hard way that you should have something to retire “to” when you retire “from” your life’s work."
