I found the workshop was insightful, practical, human, down to earth. It was wonderful to engage face to face with members of the 50 plus family The benefits I have gained, far outweigh the R500 annual subscription fee

Being a member of 50 Plus-Skills gives me a community, support and a place to bounce off ideas, inspiration and knowledge about what is changing in the world of work. I have made new friends, started on new income generating paths and I know I am not alone; I am one of many women navigating this new world of work.

Why join 50 Plus skills? Great interaction from people with strong networks, relevant information and great learning opportunities! Don't miss out...

Doing the NEXT CHAPTER with you and the other ladies moved me from “not knowing what to do” in this new season to a “ I have a plan”. Now I just have to do the action part. The fact that we were a group made it easier to share and to hear what others thought. Thank you for your initiative to introduce us to the new possibilities of being retired but not ready to be excluded from a working life. The NEXT CHAPTER sessions provided me with the tools and encouragement to start this new “Retired – but contributing to society (and personal finances)” season.

I joined this course not having a clue of what I could possibly offer or do once I retire in 5 years. Lynda not only structured the course to share invaluable info with us, she also shared her own personal walk and gave us a safe platform to honestly share our feelings and journey with each other. This type of environment has unlocked for me new ways of thinking, getting to know myself better and most of all self-worth and the realisation that I do have a number of skills that I can use in my new career after retirement and to the benefit of others. Hearing feedback from others in the group is so helpful.

Lynda Smith's coaching course "Building a Legacy Seasons 50+" was worth every cent I spent on it. I benefited tremendously from the course and am grateful that I decided to participate. Through all the sessions, discussions and workbooks, with putting in thought, reflection and hard work, I learnt a lot about myself and what I can do in my next season, so much so that I'm ready to begin my own freelance (2nd) career next year. I have no doubt that the course will be helpful to anyone else who decides to do it, as long as they participate actively.
