The next stage: Retirement - on my terms

The next stage: Retirement - on my terms
Valles Caldera, New Mexico

I'm delighted to share the next stage of my life. Effective today, I am free to focus my time on the issues, people and activities that truly align with my passion and values. I’m retiring – on my terms.

Starting today, I will be:

  • Staying active in the sustainability world, focusing on my two priorities: (1) honest climate strategy and (2) helping the next generation of sustainability leaders deal with all the stuff my generation is dumping on their plates. Expect to see more of my writing on this, here and elsewhere.
  • Spending much more of my time on things that I've cared about, including family, history, travel, my synagogue, and the wonderful cultures and mountains of New Mexico. Expect to see some of those show up in my writing, too.
  • Continuing to consult for up to 10% of my time where I think I can have a real impact on those priority issues.

I've been blessed with some amazing relationships that have helped me in the past, eased this transition, and opened up more pathways for this next stage. You've enriched my life in so many ways. (I tried to acknowledge many of you in my post on LinkedIn, but I'm sure I missed many of equal importance to me.) I look forward to sharing this next stage with so many of you. Thanks and best wishes to you all.
