Meet Retirement Coach Joe Grant
Hello, I am Joe Grant, a Certified Retirement Coach, who provides positive, helpful, and effective guidance with both male and female individuals who are stressed by the transition commonly called “retirement”.
I am trained to do this both by experience (the best teacher), and the latest modern transition methods that “stick” with you for permanent and positive change. Change is one thing, follow-through is quite another.
In my own family, this transition has been both rocky and smooth, so I came to see what made the difference, what to do and what not, and the sequence of change, which is perhaps the most important part. Outside my family, I work confidentially with corporate executives and their managers, but also with Small Business owners, a very special breed. Some have had remarkable success, some have not, but found their path improved. All had great inner strength, and that is what we bring out in everyone we coach.
My clients are confidential, which is why you see no testimonials here. If needed I can provide some enthusiastic followers whom you may interview. They send me very often to others who could benefit. You will have your own secure private client log, should you choose to be coached.
