Product Description:
For the amazing female pioneers who shattered the glass ceiling, a practical and inspiring guide to reinventing what's next.
Boomer women have been trailblazers throughout their professional lives. Now that their careers are losing their edge and children leave the nest, these women are ready to do for retirement what they did for the working world--redefine it. The first book from The Transition Network focuses on the unique needs of women as they explore new possibilities and redesign the old model of retirement, which no longer offers the challenges that these women experienced throughout their careers.
This book shows how to create new and exciting work and volunteer opportunities and how to discover new outlets for creativity and passion. Rich in practical advice and stories from women who have successfully navigated this stage, SMART WOMEN DON'T RETIRE -- THEY BREAK FREE is a blueprint for women seeking a whole new set of life choices.
THE TRANSITION NETWORK is a nation-wide community of women who are creating exhilarating new transition possibilities. Members network through monthly programs; online; and through dynamic peer groups. Members have had successful careers in government, finance, international corporations, and the arts.

It has opened the door to the many life enhancing experiences and discussions I am now having in workshops with other women. No woman over 50 fifty should be without it as a wonderful reference for this time in our lives. Just great.

This book, pitched at women, addresses so many of the questions (and fears) I have about these big transitions after so many years of work. I especially like the sidebar boxes such as "What Is Your Dream," "Managing Your Transition," and "Finding the Right Fit as a Volunteer," which go down lists of the very questions and concerns ...

Competent, skilled, experienced, a woman about to retire is on the brink of a world of possibilities! But there's a transition that a smart woman allows herself, a time to reflect on what has been and what is to come in the future that has valuable meaning. There are stages to this transition that involve some letting go and some planning, a process better done with precious care rather than by the driven schedule and plans most women pack into their working years. Smart Women Don't Retire - They Break Free ... Read More
