Creating meaning after work in conversation with David Dawson & Matt Walsh In this episode, you’ll hear Glyn Fussell in conversation with Oasis Associates David Dawson & Matt Walsh as they discuss creating meaning after work once you grow older, stop working reach “a certain age” and transition into a new phase of life. Both David and Matt had challenging and successful careers in leadership in the NHS, and are now both working as coaches and consultants. Their experiences of the ending of their former careers have made both of them passionate about supporting others reaching that stage. We explore the idea of what retirement looks like today and how this differs from years gone by, as well as the upheavals and challenges of stopping working in an arena you have been involved with for a long time. And we discuss how coaching can really help to create a trusted space to help navigate through a period which for some appears as a final stop whereas for others it is a welcome blessing.
