Mahara is a former university and college instructor and SFU Learning Specialist. She took very early retirement in 2008. Mahara has given retirement workshops at several BC colleges. More than that, she talked to dozens of people during her research and world travels and has some unique perspectives about how to make your retirement dreams a reality. <p> <b>10:00 am to Noon - Retirement: Your Changing Identity and Forging a New Life</b> <br> You will be the same person when you retire, of course, but your identity will change. How much of your identity is shaped by your profession? How familiar are you with change? Retirement is different from other changes because you may never do some things again. Do you want to continue to do the things you do now, or are you looking forward to a brand new vision of yourself? <p> This workshop will explore the change process as it relates to retirement. What values does your work satisfy, and how will you replace this with new activities? This is a particularly important question for people in the helping professions. <p> Conversely, what other areas of your being would you love to explore in retirement? By taking the time to examine your values, interests, personality, relationships with respect to your current work and volunteer activities, you can forge a thirty-year grand finale. <p> <b>1 to 3 pm - Are you a Go-Go, a Go-Slow, or a No-Go?</b><br> If you have relatively good health, and have reasonable financial fitness, retirement can be an amazing time. Freed from the confines of a regular work schedule, you can do many of the things that you squeezed from your life with the crush of kids, mortgages, and your career. Energy and health have a time value - the years right after retirement are the time to go after your dreams. This takes planning, sometimes hard decision-making, and the "jam" to do it. This interactive workshop will provide a framework for making this happen. <p> Whether you are about to retire or already retired, you'll find lots of intriguing ideas in this course! <p> Note: Full day parking is $5 <hr width="80%"> Speaker: Mahara Sinclaire-The Laughing Boomer <br> <img src="images/Laughing-boomer.jpg" border="0"> Mahara Sinclaire, M Ed. <p> Successful people in their 50's and 60's from all over America and Canada are approaching retirement and asking the same question of Mahara Sinclaire, "How did you make it happen?" Mahara and her husband Ken have experienced a 24 month odyssey around the world, logging hundreds of thousands of miles as they visited 43 countries. The most frequent comment can be summed up in the phrase, "Where did you get the jam to do it?"<p><img src="images/mahara.jpg" border="1" align="right" hspace="10" width="129" height="171"> This former musician, college and university instructor and learning specialist says desire for adventure, and willingness to change and to reach new goals is what sets her apart. Many say she has a special talent for motivating people to reach their goals. If you are seeking a rich and satisfying retirement, you will want a comprehensive approach and a way to focus your energies to achieve your goals. Her new book, The Laughing Boomer: Retire from Work - Gear Up for Living! will give you motivation to live your dreams.
