Designing Your Second Act™
Available Now
Designing Your Second Act is a practical guide for mid-career professionals ready to rethink their relationship with work and intentionally shape what comes next. Unlike traditional retirement books that focus almost entirely on finances, this one treats the second act as a full life phase, defined by purpose, wellbeing, creativity, contribution, identity, and freedom.
Drawing on design thinking, Lean principles, and real stories, the book offers a structured Life Design framework for people aged 40 to 60, one you can use to imagine, prototype, and implement a second act built around your own values and strengths.

I wrote this book because I kept hearing the same thing from talented, accomplished professionals: they had planned carefully for retirement financially, but had no idea who they were becoming or what would give their days meaning when work ended. This book is the framework I wish had existed when I started asking those questions myself.
