Media Pitch

Did you know that 10,000 people retire every day but only 14% have a plan for what they are going to do and how they want to be in retirement. People often plan more for a two week vacation than their retirement. It has been researched that those who retire without meaning and purpose can be dead in two years. So retirement cannot be based only on finances. My name is Joanne Waldman and I am an award winning non-financial retirement coach. I am a published author and have been quoted as a retirement expert in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, The Wall Street Journal and Where to Retire magazine. And I have been the director of Training at Retirement Options for the last 15 years were I have trained hundreds of non-financial retirement coaches. I can help your listeners shift to a more empowering perspective, discover their passions and find their life purpose. I want your listeners to be inspired to retire with meaning, purpose and a plan.
