Catherine Gordon, Human Resources Officer B.C. College of Teachers
Our employees clearly appreciatedIsabelle St-Jean’s thought-provoking and informative workshop on turning retirement into a re-engagement.  The focus included psychological aspects, clarification of our values, lifestyle issues and positive things we could do to enhance our sense of purpose in our daily lives now and through our transition ahead.  Isabelle also spoke about the importance of retiring without regrets and she helped us to identify what we could do now to improve our work satisfaction as we plan for continuing to contribute to society in the future.

Isabelle, thank you for speaking at our Business Circle Network event. Your presentation on Einstein’s Business was very informational and definitely fostered great discussion between our members. You are now on our approved list of speakers and we also recommend you to our other networking groups.
