"HONORABLE UNEMPLOYMENT"
WHY UNEMPLOYMENT IN OUR SOCIETY
IS A MAJOR TRAUMATIC EVENT
If you are planning to retire soon, or you know someone who is
– You need to know about this! Ignorance is never bliss.
“Forewarned is forearmed, ”, “A stitch in time saves nine!” and,
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!”
Wouldn't It Be Great...
If You Could Significantly Reduce Your STRESS
- And Your Family's Stress
When You Leave a Long-Term JOB... Of Any Kind?
Retirement, Downsizing, Career Change, Disability, Layoff,
Switch to Full-Time Stay-at-Home Parent...
What we have here is
"Honorable Un-Employment"!!
Not happening to You right now? -- What About
Your Parents, Friends, Co-Workers, your Partner?
"COACHLYON makes it clear that not only is there life past retirement, it can be remarkably rich and rewarding. If you want a purposeful and meaningful post-retirement experience, I recommend you bring Coach Lyon into your kitchen. With his expertise and support you can cook up the life you want." --Wayne Manning, Manning Consulting, Auburn CA |
Why we are calling Retirement
“Honorable Unemployment”?
What is behind the statistic that CALPERS, which handles the pension plans
for the State of California, said that up to 30% of their pension checks stop getting cashed after only 18 months,… a year and a half? Now, why are
people not cashing those checks? You could have another job, you could
win the lottery, you could be living in Mexico “high off the hog”. You
could still cash those checks. You're entitled to them. Matter of fact,
most people in the system have to cash those checks for ten years
before they get back out what they put in. So why is it that after only
18 months, up to 30% of those people stop cashing the checks? Any ideas,
here? Too lazy? No, I don't think so… They're dead! The sad truth is that
they are dead. And it's not just State of California employees. In the
aerospace industry, including Lockheed and Boeing, a recent study of
older retirees was done, and the timeframe on that was 13 months from retirement to the grave! I just recently talked to a retired postal employee
and they said that it's very common knowledge that people talk about
others dying off six (6) months after they leave the postal service, and
a retired Phone Company worker told me much the same.
Who are talking about here? THE BABY BOOMERS!! -- the largest,
wealthiest, most educated, most innovative, most curious, and
biggest risk-taking segment of the U.S. Population, - over
78 Million, and counting! -- Probably YOU, or people you know.
WHAT ARE THE UNSPOKEN FEARS
KEEPING PEOPLE, JUST LIKE YOU,
FROM A TIMELY RETIREMENT?
LEARN HOW TO GET PAST THOSE FEARS
AND LOOK FORWARD TO A LIFE OF
FREEDOM AND FULFILLMENT!
"COACHLYON's DVD/CD set "Creating Your Recipe for a Happier, Longer Life in Retirement" is unique in that Richard addresses how to maximize your retirement years from the non-financial perspective so that you spend the rest of your life in a fulfilling manner. His presentation is made in his Chef's uniform while relating the ingredients of his chocolate sauce to the ingredients that make for a great retirement. Richard gives a compelling summary of the important things that you should be thinking about as you approach retirement including how to make the transition into a retirement lifestyle that is right for you. Richard's relaxed conversational style and practical advice make this set a must, particularly if you prefer an audio-visual package over a book on retirement. In short, this is great resource if you are thinking about retirement, nearing retirement, or you have recently retired and are experiencing the retirement blues." - Ernie Zelinski, author of "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" (over 57,000 copies sold) and "The Joy of Not Working" (over 200,000 copies sold) |

SEE 1st HAND FROM A CASE STUDY –
“Life after 30 years with the State of California”
How a woman who loved her job and the people that she worked
with became very anxious about her upcoming retirement. And
how looking at planning her retirement alleviated some of that
stress and made her more relaxed and a better worker for those
last six months before she was due to retire.
“I attended Coach Lyon’s delightful presentation last year and it has stuck in my mind ever since, making me smile. Coach Lyon managed to make the prospect of creating a rewarding/fun life after retirement as real as concocting a delicious secret recipe chocolate sauce (which he did right before our very eyes). What's even better, as we got to consider what ingredients would go into our "honorable unemployment" life, we also got to taste a to-die-for chocolate sauce. Coach Lyon is a born entertainer and has used his considerable creativity to get his message across.” Anne Nayer, MSW, member ICF Landfall Coaching St. Thomas, USVI |
LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THE SUBTLE PSYCHOLOGICAL
AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMAS THAT YOU MAY
EXPERIENCE FROM "JOB LOSS"
WHAT HIDDEN DANGERS LURK IN “HONORABLE UNEMPLOYMENT”?
Now I'm not going be talking about financials here. There are plenty of financial advisors out there giving very good advice. I'm going talk about what I call the ‘meat and potatoes of life’, …(A little chef thing), and that's your day to day life --and that's where things seem to fall apart for those folks who end up in an early grave. So after a lifetime of being a productive citizen in a major longtime career, all of a sudden people are unemployed. Yes, retirement is “honorable unemployment” and in our society unemployment ranks psychologically and emotionally on the same level as a traumatic experience with loss of a loved one through death, with loss of a major relationship like a divorce, with a major uprooting like moving. It has the same kind of impact and I see parallels between some of the things that happen to people and those major traumas.
*LOSS OF PROFESSIONAL OR WORK IDENTITY
Well, you don't have your title anymore, your job, your professional or work identity. Now to some people, that's their only identity. They don't realize that they're more than just their work, or their job.
Let’s say you’re Tom Smith, head ranger for Big Sequoia State Park. One day you’re in charge of thousands of acres of beautiful, beautiful country, including some prehistoric trees, incredible trees. You’re in charge of dozens of employees, millions of dollars worth of facilities, the guests, and yes, even the bears. The next day after you get the gold watch and the retirement dinner, your biggest responsibility might be making your own breakfast and… that's really a downsizing! It's a huge blow to your psyche and your ego. And no one is really talking about this, and it is much like losing a Loved one – That person You were for so long at Work!
*LOSS OF SOCIAL CIRCLE
You don't get to see your friends and co-workers, you loose your social circle. Those people that you've been seeing twenty to thirty years perhaps, eight to ten hours a day, five to six days a week, you see them even more than you see your own family and now all of a sudden they're cut off from you. Oh, yeah, you can go back and you can always visit, and everybody's always happy to see you, "Oh, hi Rich, how you doing? Good? Yeah, how's the family? You know. What have you been doing?" But after a little while what's gonna to happen is they're gonna say "Uh, hey, listen, I gotta get back to work. You know how the boss is." And so what happens is YOU feel like they're an outcast from your own tribe, and this is quite disconcerting. This feels a lot like a Divorce!
The flip side of the coin is, if there is a significant other at home, all of a sudden it goes from maybe a little in the morning, and after work in the evenings, weekends and maybe vacations to “24/7 in your face”. Now for some people this is no problem, actually it's wonderful. However, I've been speaking to some psychologists and they tell me that this is a big problem in our society today where one or both of the people retire and all of a sudden they are together way more than they have ever been and they have to get to know each other again. For the one who’s been at home, their ‘territory’ has been invaded, and all those little things that have been swept under the rug and left there because there's no time to deal with them, all of a sudden, there's way too much time.
*LOSS OF DAILY ROUTINE
Ok, what else? Yeah, you don't have to go to work anymore, you loose that physical routine that you have stuck to for twenty to thirty years. So we’ve got people that are all woke up -- and no place to go at 6:30 in the morning,. Now, you know, somebody will say, "Well, I just roll over and go back to sleep." Yes, but unfortunately your body's gonna wake you up soon anyways because your body's just used to getting up and going at that time, getting into your daily routine. This can be very disconcerting and after awhile, it can even get to be depressing, if not handled. So you loose your physical schedule, and the physical schedule, your daily routine, is kind of like being uprooted, like moving, because you are no long spending time in that home away from home, that you have spent more time than actually at home. This can be very disconcerting and can cause a lot of anxiety and stress.
*LOSS OF OUTLETS FOR CREATIVE
AND PRODUCTIVE ENERGIES
Well, there is one other major thing that I like to look at, and that's the fact that you loose your outlet for your creative and productive energies. And in our society, these things are very, very strongly engrained in us. When we were kids, we were always encouraged to do what we're supposed to do and do it good. From Kindergarten on up, we’re told to “DO”, and “DO MORE”, and “DO BETTER”. And all of a sudden they are told to STOP – “Take it Easy”, and WHAM, you have no outlet for these energies. Nothing is demanding it from you. Especially if you are on a pension, you don't even have to get up and worry about looking for work. So this is very important to us, and to some people in our society, it is their total reason for existing – what they DO.
So unless these things are addressed, and handled, they can lead to disorientation, boredom, apathy, and depression, that can show up in forms such as drug or alcohol abuse, food abuse, people abuse, and can turn into lots of daytime TV, with the junk food that goes with it, both of which are unhealthy and negative, taking their health down hill on roller skates, -- and these are the links that lead to that premature death of those 30% of CALPERS and those people in the aerospace industry and lots of other people.

“I attended one of your workshops and really appreciated hearing someone finally talk about the emotional aspects of retirement rather than the financial. In an entertaining way, you provide a "recipe" that is crucial to meaningful and satisfying retirement. There will be so many of us baby boomers retiring at the same time that we can be a powerful force for positive change and growth in this world if we have the tools to plan our free time productively. Your workshops offer those tools.”

“It's more than JUST the MONEY! --
Creating Your Recipe for a Happier,
The e-Book based on COACHLYON'S dynamic live presentation!
For my presentation, I appear in my chef outfit, with a wire whisk, and ask, "Who can guess what I did for 27 years before retiring?" Then, as a retired chef, now a Coach, I talk about Retirement as "Honorable Unemployment", and some of the issues people face that are just not commonly discussed, much less sensibly dealt with, and some of the rather disturbing statistics around retirement and mortality. Many people retiring go through a great deal of stress - most of which is just not openly being addressed. I relate how retirement has in it the elements of some of the most traumatic events in our culture. These include, Death of a Loved One, as in the loss of Professional/Work Identity; loss of a major relationship, (e.g. divorce), as in the loss of their Social Circle; Major Uprooting - (e.g. moving), loss of Daily Routine; and finally, the loss of outlets for their Creative and Productive energies. All of these can happen at once creating a very stressful situation, which if not sensibly handled can lead to disorientation and depression. This often leads to an unhealthy lifestyle, and an early grave! (There are some very shocking statistics to confirm this.) Then, I "Chocolate Coat" the bitter message by actually making my world renowned Chocolate Sauce, and relating the individual ingredients in the sauce to "ingredients" in a "Recipe for a Happier, Longer Life in Retirement". Finally, I treat the audience to the Chocolate Sauce with fruit and cookies. So, what I deliver is fun, out-of-the ordinary, entertaining, and informative with a powerful message for pre-retirees, retirees, and their families as well.
COACHLYON, Your presentation is Brilliant! Having been in retirement planning for over 15 years and now as a coach I recognize your "Recipe for a Happier, Longer Life in Retirement" as the missing ingredient that people need to assure not only their success in retirement but also their fulfillment. For anyone wanting a delicious and rewarding retirement you must view his material. -- Machen MacDonald CPCC,CCSC Author/Coach/Speaker |

YOUR LIVE “RECIPE” PRESENTATION
My mission is to educate the public about the potential pitfalls of Retirement. I know that simple awareness can be curative - if YOU know what's coming, then, YOU can prepare for it! So, what I deliver is fun, out-of-the ordinary, entertaining, and informative with a powerful message for pre-retirees, OR anyone going into "Honorable Un-Employment",and their their families as well. In hosting this presentation, you let your employees know that you care about them even after their active service, which can improve performance as they near their transition, and contribute to better overall employee morale.
“I recently had the opportunity to attend Coach Lyon's "Recipe for Retirement" presentation. I found it to be informative, well-organized and entertaining. Coach Lyon's tying in of his expertise of being a world-class chef brought a unique perspective to his message of how to have a rewarding life in retirement, and kept my attention throughout the entire presentation. His comparing cooking ingredients to different aspects of improving one's quality of life in retirement (as he mixed them together to create his world-renowned chocolate sauce) had a strong impact. His use of stories to illustrate key points, especially stories involving celebrities he has cooked for, also added to the impact of his presentation. I would highly recommend Coach Lyon's "Creating Your Recipe for A Happier, Longer Life in Retirement" presentation to any audience.” --David Kenward, PerformBetterNow.com |
“Creating Your Recipe for a
Happier, Longer Life in Retirement”
Pre-Retirement Coaching is a must for “Baby Boomers” going into Retirement. Even with ‘financials’ in good shape, it is not the happy,
care-free life that “they” said it would be. There are too many
disturbing statistics about retirees and premature death. The more
I studied the phenomenon I call “Honorable Unemployment”, and its pitfalls, the more I became convinced my mission is to bring greater awareness to people headed in that direction. I know simple awareness
is often curative. As a retired Chef, it was natural for me to see a correlation between the ingredients and preparation of a gourmet recipe, such as my world renowned Chocolate Sauce, and the elements of a balanced, fulfilling Retirement. Through this metaphor, I urge you, as
my clients, to keep in mind your Values and your Life’s Purpose to bring Balance and Joy to these vital areas:
•Physical •Mental •Emotional •Social •Spiritual
Dear Richard, Great job! I am so glad you have hit on a much needed topic. I really liked your presentation using your background as a Chef to convey your message. Bravo! I wish you all the success. -- Quinta Howe, Real Estate Investor |
