What are you doing with your retirement? The final part of your life journey awaits. No one can give you the answers, but you have the assets within you to design an epic post-career life.
Throughout history and the Industrial Revolution, most people worked until death. In 1935, the
United States adopted the Social Security Act, setting 65 as the standard retirement age. Times have
changed; people can be active and healthy longer. After 90 years, I ask the right question and the
answer is for those who want more.
Preferment® Life Platform program and the Preferment® workbook is the confluence of research
and practical lessons about shifting through what matter most to you and implementing a lifestyle.
You will proactively plan your preferment as an ascension to the highest rung on your achievement
ladder, transforming the culmination of life into something that disrupts existing systems.
Preferment provides a modern format to build a well-considered new identity and multiple purpose.
Individuals formulate a sustainable plan aligning doing with your retirement and personal values. I
solve the dilemma millions are facing.
