Navigating Retirement in Life Sciences

Friday 6th November 2026 13:00 - 14:00 (GMT)


Rediscover purpose, embrace freedom and shape a fulfilling new chapter

Masterclass Details:

Retirement is often seen as a time of freedom and opportunity. After years of deadlines, meetings and responsibility, having complete control over your own time is very exciting. Yet for many senior Life Sciences professionals, stepping away from a career that has provided a strong sense of meaning, purpose and identity can also feel surprisingly challenging.

When you’ve spent decades contributing to healthcare, improving patient outcomes and being part of something bigger than yourself, retirement can raise important questions. Who am I now? What gives me purpose? How do I make the most of this next chapter while maintaining a sense of meaning and contribution?

In this 60-minute masterclass, leadership and retirement transition coach Janet Davies explores the psychological transition from working life to retirement. Drawing on research and real-world experiences, she will discuss how identity, purpose and contribution can evolve beyond your career, and how to prepare for the changes that retirement brings.

Join us to discover practical ways to embrace the freedom retirement offers, create a future aligned with your values and interests, and approach this exciting new phase of life with confidence, clarity and optimism.

 

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the psychological transition that accompanies retirement and why it can be more challenging than expected
  • Learn how work shapes your sense of identity, purpose and contribution, and explore how these can evolve beyond your career
  • Discover practical ways to prepare for the shift from structured employment to greater personal freedom
  • Gain confidence in designing a future that reflects your values, strengths and interests and provides you with meaning and fulfilment
  • Reframe retirement as an opportunity for growth, choice and new possibilities rather than an ending
