About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have Dr. Jane Smith, the instructor of the Career Advancement Programme in Retirement Wellness. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've worked with many professionals nearing retirement and noticed a gap in resources for successful aging. I wanted to create a program that addresses financial planning, health management, and finding purpose in retirement. HOST: That sounds vital for a fulfilling retirement. Could you share any current industry trends relevant to the course? GUEST: Certainly, there's a growing emphasis on continuous learning and adaptability. Many professionals are considering second careers or volunteer opportunities to stay engaged and maintain a sense of purpose. HOST: That's fascinating. Have you encountered any challenges in teaching this subject or helping learners transition to retirement? GUEST: Yes, one challenge is helping learners overcome outdated perceptions of retirement as a time of inactivity. Many struggle to envision an active, fulfilling retirement, which is why we focus on purposeful leisure activities and career transitions. HOST: It's essential to reframe those perceptions. Looking to the future, where do you see the field of retirement wellness heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more comprehensive retirement planning, incorporating mental, physical, and financial health. Employers may also start offering more resources for pre-retirees, recognizing the importance of a smooth career transition. HOST: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today.
