Wisepreneurs Podcast: Independent Professionals Building Expertise Kim Watty Retirement by Design: How Professional Women Plan Beyond Finances
Retirement planning for professional women that addresses identity, purpose, and community rather than finances alone.
Kim Watty spent three decades in Australian academia as an accounting professor before co-founding The Main Act with her daughter Prue. Their Retirement by Design program uses Stanford Business School methodology where women create three odyssey plans for different possible futures across an eight-week guided process. Kim explains why 62% of women wish they had planned better for retirement, what experienced professional women lose when they leave organisational identity without a framework for what comes next, and why the emotional and social dimensions matter as much as income. Her own transformation from academic journals to morning ocean swimming with Melbourne's Icebergers illustrates that redesigning retirement is as much about cognitive vitality and community as finances.
Wisepreneurs explores how independent professionals turn accumulated expertise into sustainable practice.
