A Certified Retirement Coaching Program Designed For You!
The retirement landscape is evolving at a record pace. Progressive financial advisory firms, nationally recognized HR departments, clinical therapists, academics, and lifestyle coaches, are all reaching the same conclusion: specializing in the retirement transition is no longer optional. It is crucial to the humanization of retirement planning and is one of the most meaningful (and needed) areas of professional service today.
As the long‑standing gold standard in retirement coaching education, the Certified Professional Retirement Coach (CPRC) program has consistently served as the industry’s go‑to designation. The primary reason for this is the design of the overall program, from the depth of the 10 learning modules to our extensive library of tools and marketing resources, plus the ongoing support to both current students and certified coaches receive is unparalleled within the industry.
“Having been a student of retirement and the retirement experience since the early 2,000’s, I wasn’t sure what might be added to the body of knowledge, but (in modern parlance) OMG!!! What you have put together is so spot on for baby boomers and Gen X, with the raw truth that exists for so many.” -Steven S.

“I learned a lot about the evolution of the concept of retirement and increased my knowledge about the “dark side” which is so important when educating others. I’m in this age group and so much of the information I learned rang true… I am so excited for what it can mean for people to live intentionally during retirement.”
-Donna M.
“Retirees will need to develop a wide range of skills that they have not focused on in the past. The most impactful thing I experienced is the realization that for most retirees their identify and self-worth is tied tightly to their work persona. They have spent most of their lives perfecting this persona, that will now, to a large degree, need to change.. They have very little insight into what they will need to do or what is involved with this change. It confirmed my decision to narrow my life coaching niche to retirement coaching.” -Dale C.

Program Enhancement:
The Retirement Intelligence Assessment (RQ) is now a part of the CPRC training course. Until now, individuals and couples, as well as financial advisors, human resource directors, and coaches, haven’t had a tool or proven process to help people understand and plan for the personal aspects of life after work. The RQ profile is a landmark approach to assessing personal retirement readiness and serves as the new narrative for retirement planning, decision making, and transitioning. The RQ is the future of retirement lifestyle planning for coaches and their clients.
