Retirement Letter.Time to Say Goodbye.
Why a retirement letter?
I got a wonderful send off on my retirement, with several retirement dinners and retirement gifts.
This was something I felt very grateful for. I know of other people, who may have worked as skillfully
and diligently as I had, only to have a disappointing end to their career.
Mergers and acquisitions, rightsizing and downsizing, competition from younger people on the way up, ill health,
concerns about retirement financial planning - these can all affect your
contribution and competence in the years prior to retirement.
I was fortunate to be in a company that was expanding and diversifying so that I was challenged and active right to the finish.
It was against this background that I was writing my own Retirement Letters (see my
Samples of Retirement Letters).
The retirement letters were important because I wasn’t going to be able to say a personal farewell and thanks to
everybody in my circle, especially external relationships. And even where I could, I think it was appropriate to follow it with a letter.
Also, even in this era of instant communication via cell phones and email, people like to receive letters.
I know in at least one case the recipient was delighted to show the letter to his colleagues!
Nowadays, I find that I often make contact with Retirement Coaching clients
for the first time when they want help with their Retirement Letters and Retirement Speeches.
