Episode notes
Traditional Retirement No Longer Fits Many Lives
- Traditional retirement suits some but not many people in their 50s and 60s who still want meaningful contribution.
- Robyn Greaves sees capable older workers blocked from roles despite skills, creating a need for new transition approaches.
Unpack Before You Repack Your Work Life
- Do unpack before you repack by pausing to decide what aspects of your work and identity to leave behind.
- Robyn recommends a short reflective pause to remove tasks you no longer want and keep what energises you.
Third Chapter As A New Career Stage
- The Third Chapter reframes later life as a distinct career stage focused on contribution rather than cessation.
- Robyn frames careers as three chapters: learning, building, then a later-career phase with more choice and less responsibility.
