Synopsis
Join us for an engaging fireside chat on the art of mastering the "second act" of life. In this session, we will discuss innovative approaches to retiring well, showcasing how young seniors can be healthy, savvy and actively engaged in meaningful projects as “Reternees” while helping companies benefit from their collective wisdom and experience.
Our discussion will centre around the concept of flexible retirement - a departure from the traditional notion of complete withdrawal from the workforce. Retirement is not an endpoint but rather a new beginning. Let us explore how we can adopt different mindsets and strategies to #RedefineRetirement.
About The Courage Chapter and its founders
The Courage Chapter's mission is to help create a healthier ageing society, in mind, body and spirit. Studies have shown that happiness and health levels increase when people engage in purposeful work that leverages their experience and feel like they are valued members of society. In today's world where the cost of living is rising exponentially and people are living longer lives, companies will also have to acknowledge that an ageing workforce is inescapable.
Through working with companies and developing new employment models, young seniors can continue to contribute to the community, giving them a refreshed purpose and the freedom to pursue more interests.

With a background in HR, focusing on compensation and benefits in the tech and startup world, Jesslyn brings in the data and research to the mission!
