The Art of Retirement...
Opening the Next Door
Retire... Redecorate... Repurpose... Rejoice!
My name is Tina Toedt (pronounced "Tate") and I love to retire. In fact, I love it so much, I have done it 3 times. A little like the boy who cried wolf, my close knit group of friends asked me if this time it would stick and I can say it has. But my 3 times a charm story has given me a heart to help other people retire well the first time. To do so, one has to follow the four R's: Retire (The first and last time) Redecorate, Repurpose, and Rejoice.
Like most things in life, hindsight is 20-20, but I hope my story can be one that helps your group navigate theirs with eyes wide open. I would love the opportunity to speak to your group about their retirement journey. Whether they are retired, or thinking about retirement, know someone else retiring soon, or struggling in retirement, I would love to be a part of their journey. They will be introduced to redecorating their life, repurposing it, and subsequently rejoicing in the outcome.
A favorite of mine, the famous Mr. Fred Rogers, used to say, "Often, when you are at the end of something, you are at the beginning of something else." Fred is right. In all the endings of your life, it's important to see the new beginnings.
I would be honored to guide the special people in your life to see their new beginning, and to share my experience with them. Thank you!
Speaking Topics
Retire Purposefully
Allow me to share my retirement journey, and walk your group through the retirement stages, and guide them to redecorate, repurpose, and rejoice in their retirement. (This can be for men, women, or both.)
A Retirement Tribute to a Valued Retiree(s)
Allow me to speak on your behalf on retirement as a new beginning , thanking and honoring your retiree(s) at your event, bringing humor, as well as accolades for a job well done.
New Beginnings
Sometimes we need to start over, and doing so can be difficult. Allow me to speak at your event to those experiencing loss and beginning again, at all ages of life.
Giving hope and a promise of tomorrow, I would be honored to speak at your support group.
Redecorating and Repurposing using Interest Inventories
This is for various ages and stages of life when a change is needed, or gifts and abilities of individuals are uncertain. This can be for smaller groups, when the next step is uncertain. Allow me to assist in helping your group find their strengths and interests.
