Retire? Heck No!

Now she's become a pensioner, feisty Ann Widdecombe claims she has retired.

Well she may have retired from her seat in the House of Commons. But she's pursuing new ventures as a treasured national eccentric as, among other things, a TV celeb, game to follow in the elephantine footprints of John Sergeant who used to report her speeches, on the floor of BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing.

Ann's doing just what the pre-retirement seminars of Focus for Change www.focus4change.co.uk urge delegates to do;  if you've got it - flaunt it!


Not that everyone wants to be on television.  But everyone reaching that stage of life at the conclusion of a career can evaluate and decide  how they want to spend their third phase and ensure it's fulfilling and rewarding.


Few of us enjoy or would want to have experienced a high-profile persona.  But all of us nurture ambitions given full rein to flourish without the discipline imposed on a working life;  to contribute to the community, to take up and develop a new interest or even to become one's own boss to put the skills and experience of a lifetime to further good use are among the many challenges open to the newly-retired.


In fact, retirement is not a term the leaders of our interactive one-day courses approve of.  


They call it "freelancing".


Our next executive open pre-retirement seminar takes place at our Mayfair, London, venue on October 14.
