"Only 14% of Baby Boomers have a written strategy for their retirement, according to the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies," commented Douglas J. Matthews, President and CEO of Career Partners International, the parent of Retirement Options. "As an increasing number of these Boomers approach retirement age, many are uncertain about how to achieve their retirement dream. Retirement coaches are able to help these Boomers prepare for and navigate this next stage of life."

Coaches certified through Retirement Options use the scientifically designed assessments to assess retirement readiness and establish the foundation of retirement life plans. Retirement Options Certified Coaches have successfully assisted thousands of individuals, couples and employees of corporate clients in assessing and exploring areas of their lives such as work, family, leisure, wellness, and personal development. They are experts on the subject of retirement planning and are regularly asked how to best prepare for this major life transition.

Retirement Options features a directory of over 800 certified coaches around the world, helping individuals connect with local certified coaches to provide guidance and encouragement towards creating their retirement dream.
