Welcome!

I’m John Formia, a “Retirement Transition Coach“.

With a passion for helping others, I specialize in assisting retirees navigate the often challenging transition from employment to a fulfilling, purposeful,  post-work life.

My journey into retirement coaching began with a simple yet profound realization: retirement is not just an end, but a new beginning. It’s a time to uncover purpose, pursue passions, and find true fulfillment. This belief drives my approach, which focuses on actionable steps, solution-oriented goals, and overall well-being.

Before becoming a retirement transition coach, I spent over 30 years in the public service world, where I held various leadership roles. During this time, coupled with my own retirement experience, I witnessed many colleagues deal with the transition into retirement. This inspired me to shift my retirement focus and dedicate myself to helping others find joy and purpose in their post-employment years.

In our virtual sessions, we delve into what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll explore your interests, uncover new opportunities, and create a roadmap for a rewarding retirement.

I don’t discuss finances, politics or religion; instead, I concentrate on this significant life change’s emotional and psychological aspects.

Join me, and let’s embark on this journey together. Your best years are ahead, and I’m here to help you make the most of them.
