Design the next decade of your life with clarity, courage, and structure.
Coaching and structured programmes for professionals approaching retirement — or already in it — who don't simply want to stop. Most retirement offers help you sort out your money. Your Next Decade helps you sort out yourself.
The people we work with are anything but finished.
You've had a career of substance. Now something has shifted — or is about to. This is not about winding down. It's about what comes next.
Post-career professionals
You've stepped back from a senior role and found that retirement doesn't quite fit. The title is gone but the drive isn't.
Leaders at a crossroads
You're approaching a transition — voluntary or not — and you want to navigate it deliberately, not reactively.
People with more to offer
Your experience, perspective, and judgment are genuinely valuable. You're looking for the right container to deploy them.
The quietly restless
Life looks fine from the outside. But internally, you know something important is missing.
Portfolio thinkers
You're drawn to a mix of consulting, advisory, writing, or purpose-driven work — but you need help designing the architecture.
People who want substance
You're not looking for lifestyle content or generic inspiration. You want rigorous, psychologically-informed support.
There is a profound difference between retiring from something and moving towards something. We help you get clear on what that something is.
— Mags Treanor, Founder
Structured support for serious reinvention.
Four ways to work with Your Next Decade. Each is grounded in psychology, leadership development, and twenty-plus years of working with people at pivotal moments.
Six-month private engagement
A focused, confidential coaching engagement for executives, senior professionals, and recently retired leaders facing identity loss, transition, or the question of what comes next.
Your Next Decade — the programme
A twelve-week structured cohort of eight to twelve people working through identity, purpose, possibility, and practical planning.
For HR, L&D, alumni & leadership groups
Facilitated workshops for companies supporting senior leaders through retirement, role change, or major transitions.
Tools, content, and connection
A growing collection of curated content, guided tools, structured reflection prompts, and a private community.
Group Programme for Job Seekers 50+
A structured group programme for job-seeking professionals and executives aged 50 and over, delivered in partnership with Forum Next. Clarity, orientation, and a realistic path back into the job market — in a group setting, with structure.
1:1 Coaching (approx. 10 sessions)
Individual coaching for job-seeking professionals and executives, funded through the RAV. Around ten personal sessions guide you from orientation through to successful re-employment.
Retirement Preparation Course
A course for professionals and executives preparing for life after work — focused on meaning, structure, and personally shaping this transition. Details and dates to follow soon.
A process built for people who take themselves seriously.
We don't start with templates or frameworks. We start with you — your history, your values, and what you actually want from the years ahead.
Understand
We begin with deep listening. Who you are, what you've built, what matters, and what's no longer working.
Clarify
We surface your values, your strengths, and the beliefs shaping your choices. Psychological rigour meets honest conversation.
Design
We build a real vision for your next chapter. Not vague intentions — a concrete, considered architecture.
Move
Ideas become actions. We work through the practical, strategic, and psychological steps to make your next decade real.
