Retire Retirement: Career Strategies
for the Boomer Generation by
Tamara Erickson
Ms Erickson Gets It!
Good news: there is no need to retire. There is no need to pack up your
desk or attend one more retirement party. Why? With the widen gap
between the number of workers and demand for talent, employers are
looking to keep smart, productive workers in the workplace. The growing
talent shortage will allow you to re-negotiate your relationship with work.
The question is how will you make the most of your new career options. By
retreating from traditional 9-5 work, or by exploring unconventional ways to
stay a part of the workplace? The choice is yours, and Retire Retirement
shows you how to think about what you want, and how to get it. In this
conversational, optimistic book, you will learn how to negotiate the best

work environment for you, how to work with different generations to get the
most out of your job, and explore the great opportunities that lie ahead.
This book will help you begin today to create the opportunities that fit your
unique needs now and in the years to come!
Personal Review: Retire Retirement: Career Strategies for the
Boomer Generation by Tamara Erickson
As someone shuffling towards the "Third Phase of Life" I found Tamara
Erickson's book an essential guide to planning for an active and involved
retirement. Her definition of retirement as "A New Life Stage" is
encouraging and the options that she lists are practical pointers towards
making the most of the rest of your life.
Buy this book in your mid-to-late fifties, as I did and give yourself plenty of
time to not only read, understand and own the ideas she writes about, but
to make practical plans for building the springboard you need to actively
dive into the exciting possibilities of retirement, rather than passively falling
into the abyss of old age.
Of all the advice given in this book, I found Chapter Five on "Reinventing
Your Career and Your Life" the most useful. It begins with the profound
wisdom of suggesting "Doing What You Want" is the basis for retirement
planning and then goes on to treat this in the same way that any executive
would approach a business plan, including advice on networking and
"Redefining Your Own Brand" - all of which offers a very reassuring and
practical approach to defining what you want out of life and going about
getting it.
Highly recommended for anyone looking forward, not so much to
'retirement' as to pursuing a life-long dream.
