Your Encore Life

Your Encore Life

Your "life's encore" can occur at any point where significance becomes more important than success. This often occurs at or near retirement from a long career. Topics this show will cover are designed to help you discover, launch, and advance your talents and strengths, passion and calling, and live your life intentionally to create your life's best encore.

As we are coming to the end of 2020 and look forward to 2021, we are going to offer encore episodes about the importance of and steps in writing a life plan.  2020 certainly didn't turn out like the vision we may have had for it, but we have a lot to look forward to.  This past year has dealt a harsh blow to many plans.css-1t8gq41{border:none;background-image:none;background-color:transparent;box-shadow:none;color:#2F3133;cursor:pointer;font-size:inherit;padding:0;-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;width:-webkit-max-content;width:-moz-max-content;width:max-content;}.css-1t8gq41:hover,.css-1t8gq41:focus{-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;}

This episode will be an encore episode from the series "Finding Lasting Joy: Relation...
