This interactive workshop will help you set measurable goals for the next chapters in your life. You will learn tips from Barry Nelson and Trey Frugé to examine your passions and talents, explore future desires and goals, and then set an action plan to achieve those goals.

This Round Table builds upon some of the insights we have just gained from Dr. Hanson’s inspiring presentation and enables you to take the next step toward planning a future life of purpose and joy.

Experts all agree that multi-generational interaction between younger people and those of us who are “a-hem, more mature” is key for optimum health. Debi Nixon and Josh Clough will lead our Round Table on “MENTORING YOUNGER GENERATIONS DURING RETIREMENT” to help you discover how you can find people to mentor, and how you can also have them mentor you!

Whether you discuss world events, use of technology, or topics you both enjoy like sports, music, art, or science… your interactions with people in other generations will be fun and interesting.

Debbie Dellinger will lead our candid, authentic discussion about finding purpose and enjoyment while moving into retirement – whatever that looks like for you.

Many people don’t know exactly what they will do when they retire or how to get started. Some feel concerned about retiring – perhaps because they have not had time to prepare for it, or the timing may not have been their choice.

This Round Table will help you manage any stress you may be feeling and identify options to make retirement a time of adventure and significance for you.

Each of us is unique, right? On Tuesday eve, Feb 2^nd, Carol Cartmill will lead a Round Table designed to help every one of us “BE A DIFFERENCE MAKER!”

That’s right! She will help each of the participants identify the skills, talents, resources, interests, desires, and experiences that make you unique. And then she’ll help you determine how you can use your unique talents and passions to make a positive difference in your community.

For some of us, our community is our family. For others, it is our immediate neighborhood or city. Maybe for you, community includes the whole wide world! Either way, join us for this Round Table to make a wonderful difference in life!

Retirement often begins with the fun new sensation of being able to use your time however you want. But, if you are like many of us, you will eventually find yourself wanting more. More adventure. More meaning. More significance in life.

On Tuesday evening April 6^th, Dr. Mindi McKenna will lead our Round Table on “SETTING BIG DREAMS AND ACHIEVING THEM IN RETIREMENT.”

She’ll guide us through a 7-step framework developed by popular speaker, Bob Goff, author of “Love Does,” “Everybody Always,” and “Dream Big.”

She’ll share tips for identifying our big dreams, acting on them, clearing distractions, overcoming obstacles, and yes, achieving results.

Some of us have plenty of financial resources during retirement; others are on a really tight budget. Either way, all of us can leave a lasting legacy by investing of ourselves to help others.

It’s a well-known fact that sharing of one’s time, talent, or treasure is one of the most reliable ways to experience a stronger sense of purpose, fulfillment and joy. That’s why we’ll end our 2020-2021 Crossroads Round Table series with a powerful discussion about “LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY BY ESTATE PLANNING” led by Debi Nixon and the Resurrection Foundation.
