RETIREMENT equates to death. One of the great lessons of ageing and witnessing ageing is the impact that retirement has on so many people, particularly men.  The human mind must always be stimulated.  It is dangerous to leave the workforce if you have no other interests.  A busy mind is crucial to life. 

As featured in the Herald Sun article by Jeff Kennett, Friday, June 3rd, 2011, Life too short to stop work, “no one should retire.  Get that concept out of your mind.  At one or many stages of your life prepare for change that you want – and make it happent”.  “If you remain mentally and physically active you will reamin more relevant to those around you and you will ward off  a lot of illnesss”.

Jeff’s words of wisdom resonate with us at act3, where we witness daily, the benefits to both the individual and the organisation, of helping accomplished people in business and the professions to plan a personally and professionally meaningful future, make the right next move or create the right opportunity – within and beyond careers.  The earlier you start, the greater the benefits!
