Life Design Coaching

Designing Your Second Act with Clarity and Confidence

A structured, practical way to work out what comes next, for professionals approaching retirement or a major career transition.

Tammy Martins

Who This Coaching Is For

You've had a successful career, and you're starting to think about what follows it. You might be:

A few years from retirement and unsure what your days will look like

Considering semi-retirement or a different kind of work

Financially prepared, but less clear on purpose, identity and structure

Leaving a leadership role and wondering who you are without it

My coaching focuses on the non-financial side of this transition. It works well alongside the advice you get from a financial planner.

How it works

We start with reflection

Using tools like the Life Design Purpose Wheel™ and the Life Design
Sweet Spot™, we get clear on your values, your strengths, and what you enjoy.

We bring it together in your Life Design Playbook™

This is your plan for what to start, stop and try next.

We explore what's possible

With the IDEA Cycle™ (Imagine, Do, Evaluate, Adjust), you try out
ideas in small, low-risk ways before making any big decisions.

You keep it alive.

We check in three months after we finish. From there, you can revisit your tools and update your Playbook as often as you like. Some people plan a month at a time and others update each quarter. The more often you return to it, the more useful it becomes.

What you leave with

A clear picture of what matters most to you in this next stage.
Directions you've tested, with real experience behind them.
Your Personal Life Design Summary, a living document that captures your insights, experiments and next step.
A Playbook and a set of tools you can return to and update as your life changes.

The format

Six one-on-one sessions over six weeks, plus a check-in three months later. Sessions are held on Zoom. A small-group option is also available.

What People Are Saying

Leanne Perreault

I so enjoyed my conversations with Tammy. She listened deeply and reflected back insights that truly resonated with me. The tools she developed are practical and helpful as I consider my retirement chapter. Tammy is a wonderful thinking partner and sounding board.

From the book

This coaching applies the frameworks from my book, Designing Your Second Act (Routledge, November 4, 2026).

A conversation is the best place to start

We'll talk about where you are and what you're hoping for, and you can decide if this feels like a fit.
