When I first contacted Steve Wrigley, I was struggling in a number of areas of my life. My biggest challenge was that I had just lost a big client, which for years had been my primary source of income.
Additionally, I was also struggling with serious career burnout, family relationship challenges, anxiety, and some depression. I was also facing the stark reality that I would have to end my ten years of running my own company and return to full-time work, working for someone else. And I didn’t have the tools to cope and recover. I was drowning.
I decided to get some professional career coaching since that aspect of my life was at the root of my struggles. At first, I had been a bit skeptical because, from his website, he seemed on the surface to be a jack of all trades (coaching in marriage, retirement, autism, special needs, etc). I was only interested in career coaching. I called him and found him personable, a good listener, knowledgeable, and eager to help, so I decided to proceed.
Long story short, he was amazing. We met weekly over a period of a few months and he was an incredible resource to get my life back on track. His breadth of experience was actually an asset, not a liability. For example, it was a principle in a marriage book that he recommended that unlocked a huge breakthrough in my perplexing career struggles. His expertise in midlife crisis was also a huge help.
The most impressive thing about Steve was that he was always very prepared and had always carefully done his homework. He was obviously actively thinking about me during the week between sessions. He was always prepared with stacks of books to recommend, tests I could take, and great advice. It was very apparent that he reads a lot and had dozens of career books that were heavily marked up with notes. He also helped me with preparing for job interviews and job hunting.
The end result was that I have a clear written vision of my “Why”, that governs everything I do. I have changed my outlook and attitude. I feel like my career burnout is almost entirely gone, I landed a rewarding full-time job, and have improved my marriage and family relationships. Steve saved me. It was certainly one of the best decisions I have made in my life to engage his services. I highly recommend him.

What do you love most about your job?
People occasionally ask me WHY I got into Life /Retirement Transition Coaching. My lifelong professional goal has been TO empower my fellow man to overcome their obstacles, solve their problems, and bring out their full potential SO that they see their possibilities and discover the Big Picture of what their life could become. This is a definition of what Life Coaching is all about.
Life / Retirement Transition Coaching fits my professional and life goals exactly. No greater legacy can you leave than to change the future one individual at a time as they discover their true potential and discover their dreams. For me coaching is not just about fixing/solving problems, it is a type of conversation one has with oneself and with the world, and your coach facilitates that conversation.
I would be honored to be part of your conversations to discover your future and fulfill your Second Act entirely
What inspired you to start your own business?
Upon graduation from college, I started my career as a counselor. Over the years the need to provide more financial support for my family drove me to administrative positions as a Human Service Administrator, where I worked with individuals and families over the past 31 years providing crisis services.
I am not one to retire and am full of life and purpose still needing to be explored. My professional training is as a Rehabilitation Counselor and a Marriage and Family Counselor. As I enter my Encore /3rd Act Life, I wanted to return to the vocation of my dreams. I wanted to start a new career that would build on my year of experience and enable me to continue supporting my fellow man to live their best life.
I spent two years teaching for AARP with their "Life Reimagined" program and found such fulfillment in working with individuals who were preparing for or were recently retired that I decided to return to school and complete several additional certifications as a retirement, relationship, and career coach. Let me help you discover your Encore Life/Career and strengthen your relationship with your partner.
Why should our clients choose you?
As stated above, this is my life passion. In my 3rd Act, I have returned to my roots.
I completed the course work and pass the national exam to become a Board Certified Life Coach (BCC), BCC's have gone through extensive training and passed the National Board Certified Coach Exam, obtained experience in the field of coaching, have professional peer references and accountability to an enforceable ethics code and are among an elite group of coaches. I then went on to obtain additional national certifications from the top Retirement, Relation, and Career programs.
I hope to become your trusted mentor who can help you identify and uncover what keeps you from reaching your fullest potential. We will develop a one-on-one relationship that provides a supportive and non-judgmental space to help you create what you want for yourself.
I will help you strategize and acquire the tools you need to achieve your goals. I will teach you steps to help you identify and reframe your thoughts and attitudes. Together we can help you break negative habits, acquire new methods of identification, and take action to achieve your maximum potential!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide coaching services via Zoom, FaceTime, or the phone.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Masks in the office depend upon what you feel comfortable with. I have a one-person office so we only have the two of us at my office. I have arranged the room so we are at least six feet apart.
Retirement Transition Coaching
Your retirement transition marks that pivotal phase where the roles and opportunities of your "2nd Act" take their bow, and the stage is set for the grand unveiling of your next life chapter. Yet, here's where many new retirees stumble – they confuse the elation of retirement with the profound fulfillment it should bring. As the initial thrill of liberation from the 9-to-5 routine wanes, an undercurrent of deep loss often takes its place. The void left by your former roles can be overwhelming.
In this juncture, common threads of concern weave through the tapestry of retirement: 1) The void of social interactions, 2) The quest for purpose, 3) The unease of feeling unneeded after reaching your zenith, and 4) The disconnection from society's pulse. The journey through this transition is as unique as each individual. While some seem to glide effortlessly into retirement's embrace, for many, the path to a truly fulfilling retirement requires deliberate soul-searching.
It's a journey that transcends financial numbers, although prudent financial planning remains an integral facet of retirement preparation. Whether you're perched five years away from retirement, actively charting your course, or already savoring the fruits of retirement, strategic planning for this transformation is paramount. Startling statistics underscore the urgency: within just two years post-retirement, many encounter turbulence if the contours of this new phase remain undefined.
Retirement isn't just a pivot in work dynamics and financial equations; it reverberates through life's core: family dynamics, leisure pursuits, time allocation, living spaces, wellness, and the spirit of giving back. Allow me to be your compass, guiding you to craft your very own 3rd Act Transition Retirement Plan. In a world of choices and transitions, I stand by your side, assisting you to script this next chapter that blends purpose, passion, and profound contentment.
