"Retirement is not the end, but rather the opportunity for a new beginning," says Larry Jacobson, a leading authority on non-fiscal retirement lifestyle planning. Jacobson's successful experience of making the shift from his own business career, retiring from the corporate world, and achieving his personal dreams is his proven model for coaching. His experience has attracted clients from all walks of life, including entrepreneurs, CEOs, doctors, attorneys, teachers, and public figures. Jacobson believes everybody has an Encore in them after they retire from their career. "You get a do-over, how cool is that?" asks Larry. He coaches clients to discover their passions, and then helps them combine their passion, knowledge, and experience to build a plan of action for a retirement of fulfillment and purpose. "And don't forget about fun," he adds. Jacobson is also known for his leadership and entrepreneurship coaching and is a certified World Class Speaking Coach.

Successfully transitioning from CEO to sailor, Jacobson achieved his lifelong dream of sailing around the world.
