Retirement Kickstart
How to grow your network of fun and support
by Ed Zinkiewicz
Where did everybody go?
Are all your friends still at work?
Do you miss the get togethers after work?
Are your friends moving away?
Ed Zinkiewicz knows that, when you retire, friends can disappear. Worse: You no longer have access to the "water cooler"-the built-in place where you used to meet and greet, catch up, and grow the relationships so vital to your well-being. When was the last time you had to make a friend without the water cooler? Ed tells you
- Where to find or create a new water cooler
- How to fill your friend-pyramid
- The skills needed for good relationships
- How to pay attention to things important to your friends
- The keys to strengthening family (and other close) ties
You retire from work, but not from life. Friends can be fun and supportive, a cherished part of a fantastic retirement. A strong network of friends is a great place to retire to.
Ed Zinkiewicz believes that retirement should not get in the way of being engaged, finding purpose, or becoming joyful. His books, podcasts, and interviews all support your journey to do the same.
When he retired from a successful career in business management and software development in 2011, he began a second career as a motivational leader, speaker, podcast host, and author who encourages retirees to start that adventure for themselves. Ed is an aging-in-life strategist and realizes that growing older brings a new set of challenges. Ed helps retirees meet the surprises of retirement, connects adult children with their parents to build a strategy to confront the challenges of aging, and helps with all aspects of the transition from "the home place" to a retirement community.
