What You Need to Achieve a Meaningful Re-Engagement
Retirement is more than a financial milestone—it’s a major life transition that requires emotional readiness, personal clarity, and a thoughtful plan. This course offers a comprehensive, research-informed framework to help participants assess their retirement preparedness beyond dollars and cents. Through guided reflection, written exercises, and real-life examples, you'll explore the four key stages of retirement, identify potential challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of your evolving identity, values, and life purpose.
Participants will learn how to manage common stressors such as changes in routine, marital dynamics, and loss of professional identity. The course also emphasizes emotional intelligence and soft skills that are crucial for successfully navigating this transition. By the end, you’ll replace anxiety with clarity—equipped with a realistic, personalized, and inspiring action plan for re-engaging with life after retirement.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
