Your Life Plan Part 1 048
Your Encore Life
This is the perfect time to do what I believe is one of the most important steps to avoiding a life of regret by writing down a life plan, and we will spend the next 3 episodes replaying the 3 episodes that covered this nearly a year ago. So don’t miss a single episode of this series. Remember, just listening to teaching and information will get you nowhere unless you act on it, so here we go for part 1 of this series.

Making Connections: Forming Lasting Relationships 047
Your Encore Life
When thinking about this topic of the importance of connecting with others, it came to me that one of the most popular series I have done was about Finding Joy in episodes 16 - 23, and one of those episodes has great information about the importance of making connections and relationships. This episode will be an encore episode from the series “Finding Lasting Joy: Relationships.

Making Connections 046
Your Encore Life
We continue our discussion from last time on the importance of being in connection. This can be particularly important if you are retired or nearing retirement. We typically have some connection by default if we have a regular job working with others. But if you are retired or are a work at home entrepreneur, you need to be intentional about being connected with others. Regardless of whether you are working or not, we need to be intentional about being in connection with others that is healthy for us.

Refire, Rewire, and Get Connected 045
Your Encore Life
Do you feel you need a reboot? 2020 has been a confusing year at best. Depending on your circumstances, the events of 2020 may have had little impact on your life or it could have derailed everything you were planning. We may see 2021 as a big question mark at this point, but don’t let yourself become complacent and lose sight of your dreams. Now more than ever we need to have a dream to look forward to, goals to set, and a vision for how we are going to get where we need to be.

Welcome to episode 42 of Your Encore Life.

I will talk a bit about my personal Cliftonstrengths results and a bit about the Enneagram, which I took recently through my coach Mark Ross as a basis for going through the Real Life Process to help me manage my priorities more effectively.

Know Your Strengths in Your Encore 041
Your Encore Life
Welcome to episode 41 of Your Encore Life. In this episode we will be talking specifically about the CliftonStrengths Assessment and why it has value for those of us entering into or already in our Encore Life. As you may recall episodes 39 and 40 were both discussing the value of maximizing your strengths, focusing on strengths and building them rather than putting an emphasis on your weaknesses and trying to overcome them.
info_outlinePastor Al Squitieri’s life journey had many twists and turns as he began his law enforcement career that spanned 25 years until the point of becoming the lead pastor. Last week we heard about the beginning of his career with a sheriff’s department up until the point at which he retired from that career. He spoke of the highs and lows, and some of the fear and excitement that came once he had decided it was time to retire.
In this episode we will continue the journey as we hear Pastor Al talk about the point of his retirement from law enforcement to his volunteer time as a full time men’s pastor for a large church and ultimately to his current position as a lead pastor of a healthy growing church. You will hear his struggles and his passions as he continues his discussion about his encore life.
