"So you're actually thinking about retiring?!" Retirement can inspire not only excitement for new possibilities, but also fear for the future. How can you keep the parts of work you love but enjoy more balance in your life? What work will you do? How will this change affect your relationship with your spouse? What about the decline in economic, social, and physical potential? A step back from work requires a great deal of thought and consideration, and it's natural to feel uncertain. This program will provide a framework to plan and address each issue one at a time that can prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. In this webinar, you will learn: - how to know what matters most to you going forward, - how to explore options to build the life that works, - how other successful graduates have thought about their life and activities in "retirement" HBS Career Coaches Lauren Murphy and Rich Schneider (MBA 1974) draw on their collective work experience -- as well as years coaching HBS alumni -- to share tips for building a robust retirement. The workshop will be held on Zoom. In the past, we have held this program in-person. In order to create a similar environment, we will be asking all participants to have their camera on and participate in small-group work with other alumni.

A Man of the Cloth
It was 1965 and Ted Hartley (MMP 4, 1956) had just been fired from his job as EVP at First Western Financial when he bumped into the actor Rip Torn in front of the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard. When Hartley said he might want to try acting, Torn told him to buy a Mercedes convertible, drive it around town with the top down, and go to as many parties as possible. Oh, and take some acting classes.
Hartley cleared the room at his first audition. (“Doing Laurence Olivier for a fairly small part was more than the casting director wanted.”) But he was cast in his second outing to play Reverend Jerry Bedford on the popular television soap opera Peyton Place. Hartley (shown here in 1965 opposite actress Kasey Rogers) went on to other roles and other careers, most recently as a successful painter: “There’s an artistic spark in everybody,” he says.
