It provides affirmation of strengths and provides an interpretive look at historical data gathered from other people who have completed it, providing great comparison markers.

SCIENTIFIC DATA

The opportunity to explore data on your age group, and your individual traits, behaviors, philosophies and actions provide you with the most accurate and useful material possible for making great decisions. This enables individuals to gain insight into their own attitudes and provides a starting point for further planning for a successful and meaningful retirement (or retirement preparation)

LEARN A NEW WAY TO LOOK AT RETIREMENT

The Retirement Success Profile or RSP was developed over the past 20 years by Richard P. Johnson, Ph.D. The RSP offers you the most comprehensive and personal retirement data available. Dr. Johnson is a widely recognized expert in the field of Retirement research.

Without a tool like this, most retirement workshops and training are limited to exploration of Financial Readiness. The RSP isn't focussed on your finances, it looks instead at you, and reflects back to you the information that you can use immediately to assess you're retirement planning progress, and make adjustments where necessary.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THE RSP?

Anyone who is within ten years of fulfilling either one or both of the these two criteria:

1. You'll be working for pay less than full time; less than 0 hours per week.

2. At least part of your income will come from a pension or pension-like vehicle.

The Retirement Success Profile (RSP) is the most recognized and scientifically valid assessment tool available for identifying personal retirement strengths and concerns for people over 0. It is useful for individuals planning their retirement in the next ten years or for people who are presently retired.

The Retirement Success Profile (RSP) has been administered tens of thousands of times over the past 15 years. provides an accurate assessment of personalized information, as well as, a comprehensive comparison to other people who have completed the profile (the norm group). The 20 page Personalized Interpretive Report supplied upon completion of the RSP, combined with a coaching session with an RSP Certified Retirement Coach will enable you to identify area where you can benefit from focusing your efforts.

Coaching can assist with the process of developing a Personal Retirement Mission Statement and a Retirement Action Plan.

What are the benefits of the Retirement Success Profile (RSP)?

THE RSP:

1. Identifies areas where you have already made significant process in your retirement preparation.

2. Identifies areas where you can benefit from developing a plan and strategies to increase your retirement readiness or retirement success.

3. Enables you to identify gaps between your retirement dreams and your present lifestyle or stage of development.

4.Assists you in decision making process and helps avoid pitfalls. The Shifting Gears Boot Camp or Coaching Sessions and Workshops provide a structured life-planning and educationally supportive environment to move the information provided by the RSP one step closer to change generating action in your life.

The Statistical Data and Score the RSP provides are most meaningful when combined with an action plan for heightened personal meaning. The RSP leads away from a traditional retirement to a new definition of retirement, filled with meaning as defined by you and the plan you develop as you move through the process.

The RSP can helps make sense out of chaos and/or empowers you to move your plan to the next level. It opens an awareness of areas where focus is needed. Comparisons with the thousands of others who have completed the RSP gives a sense of 'I'm not alone' or "I can do this" or "This needs attention" as applies in each part of your life.

The experience is transformational and often inspires new beginnings and greater promise of many happy years ahead. As you move toward developing your own definition of retirement and clarifies your own vision, dreams and purpose. Introductions to new concepts or the options of defining retirement on your own terms is empowering and enables the participant to move into this new stage of life with renewed energy and zest.

Clouded visions of retirement as an overwhelming transition are replaced with clarity and renewed vision. Chaos is replaced with a sense of order and provides a new sense of opportunity.

Your "next step actions" can move forward towards achieving dreams that may have felt too difficult, or long-since abandoned. Validates and confirms your successes and celebrates the importance of those things you place value on.

The participants in the Retirement Success Profile have the opportunity to use it as a marker of readiness and most often comment about the process as very personally rewarding and informative.

Take the RSP

The RSP (Retirement Success Profile) is an assessment tool that helps you understanding the challenges, strengths you bring into your retirement situation.

Like a financial plan, good planning and understanding where you stand in the whole process of evaluating and making choices that will bring you a satisfying and fulfilling retirement is the difference between living a mediocre retirement and living an INSPIREMENT!

I have chosen the word inspirement as a better word for the active retirement years. Boomers unlike previous generations are wanting more out of life during the years historically described as retirement. The word retirement is a word from the 1500's and is hardly a word that fits this generation.

Most people who take the RSP find it enables them to focus on the solutions to the challenges. It compartmentalizes the challenges, making it less overwhelming to sort through the decisions they need to make during the retirement transition.
