Dominique Yancey gave an insightful and inspiring presentation on New Beginnings. She connected her presentation to her recent retirement and relocation to a new state and the importance of preparing oneself emotionally, in addition to financially, for retirement. While we may not all be at that stage of life, her remarks were relatable to all kinds of new beginnings. Her key points were:
- You are taking you
- You’ve done this before
- Be courageous and vulnerable
- Develop a post-retirement identity – create structure for your day and meaning for your life
- Build relationships
- Cut yourself some slack
