Testimonials
“While we all have dreams of retirement, this program helped me to clearly identify how to get from here to there, and how to make my retirement journey truly my own.”
“The program truly made me think more about “me” and my desires of how I would like to live in retirement. Previously, I looked at it more from a financial planning perspective. This program prompted me to prioritize my desires and how to achieve and incorporate them into my retirement life. The program was VERY helpful in seeing things differently. I highly recommend it as I found it beneficial to clarify and share my own thoughts and hear others’ ideas that I had not considered - a true benefit of the small group coaching program.”
“We chose to work with Carol Bergeron in building our first succession planning program because of her expertise, experience in working with organizations our size and industry, guidance on design decisions that matched our company culture and business direction, thoroughness in preparing materials, project management skills, and facilitation of talent review sessions with executives. Like other critical business processes, such as strategic planning and product development, Carol recognizes the importance of a repeatable yet simple process so that new habits get formed. She has been instrumental in managing the ROI of our critical competitive advantage – people – and making key transitions to prepared successors. The executive team liked the experience and process so much that Carol facilitates our talent reviews regularly, we have asked her to help cascade program down into the organization, and she has facilitated strategic planning session too!”
“This program launched me into a deeper dive into the lifestyle aspects of retirement planning. I truly believe that my retirement life design will drive the financial aspect of planning.”
