EDUCATION CENTER

Your Center for Self-directed Learning, Planning and Community-building with My Plan After 50.

You’re here! You’re one of the vast majority of Boomers that have come to rely on the internet as a convenient, reliable source for information. As an adult learner, we know that you learn best through interactions—dialogue, discussions, debates—with other adult learners.

Research tells us that you are also becoming more comfortable making new acquaintances, even forging new friendships, with people you will meet through the internet. That’s why My Plan After 50 asks you for simple demographic and background information, career, hobby and other life interests. As this larger My Plan After 50 community grows, so will the number of people who are like you, open to expanding their social networks and, as important, wanting to learn with and from other adults.

We’ve combined it all for you in this one location, the My Plan After 50 education center. Through this portal, you’ll be able to access a research library of information on all manner of topics related to the Eight Elements Essential to a Vibrant Life after 50! And, since those eight elements are a conceptual model for the comprehensive planning for life after 50, there's not much you won't find here.

In addition to self-directed learning, we encourage you to participate in our expert-led topical forums and webinars, and to engage in actively planning for the most vibrant life after 50 possible for you, through the My Plan After 50 workbook, e-learning communities, consultation with a coach and coaching itself.
