About Anne Button

Do you realize your life has been extended? To the tune of 30 years? TRUTH: People today are living on average 30 years longer than they did a century ago. What will YOU do with this bonus time? Retirement, today, is more like a GRADUATION. It’s a new beginning. And, thank goodness, you’re so much wiser than you were at 18. You know who you are. What if….you could find new purpose in your next chapter? What if….you could live the next 30 years with VIGOR, OPPORTUNITY & GROWTH? What if…….there was an AFFORDABLE relevant program designed for this very thing? The second half of life is often associated with coasting (and a lot of canasta!) Let’s reset the terms: Retirement: Defined as “to withdraw from a particular place.” And that means you’re going somewhere else. Where will you go? What will you do? How will you shine? Who will you impact? Success: Society tells us success includes family, job, marriage and money. But everyone can and should define their own success. What does it look like for you? Has your definition changed? Aging: We start aging from the minute we are born-not at midlife. As we age, we learn and experience and accumulate wisdom. How can you keep learning? What can you create? What will your impact be? I’ve been an engineer. A teacher. A non-profit professional. A policy analyst. A program developer. And a communications maven. I have a grad degree from Yale and I’ve spent 20 years in higher education. In every role, I aim to have an IMPACT, with kindness, patience and collaboration. Now…… I help wise humans invest in themselves and navigate a transition toward professional renewal. Otherwise known as FEELING MORE ALIVE. What’s my story? I’m the youngest of four, a dedicated mom and a mediocre ukelele player. I lived for two years in a mud hut in Africa in my 20s and aging with purpose is my CAUSE!
