243: Rewiring to Retire with Dr. Gillian Leithman

Dr. Gillian Leithman, PhD is an adjunct professor at the John Molson School of Business, as well as a researcher and expert uniquely focused on helping employees as they transition from the working world into retirement. 

She’s facilitated programs for a wide variety of businesses and organizations, including Bell Canada, TD Canada Trust, Telus, Business Development Canada, SAP, Moody’s, and the RCMP–just to name a few. And her work has been featured in Forbes, the Montreal Gazette, Reader’s Digest, the National Post and many more.

She’s extensively studied how workforces age and transition into retirement, and has an incredible amount of first hand knowledge from her many interviews with pre-retirees and retirees. On top of all of this, she’s also the co-creator of the Certified Professional Retirement Coach designation, which allows students to become certified retirement coaches.

In our conversation, Gillian and I talk about why she became so interested in retirement at such an early age in her own life, how our quest for work/life balance can create real problems once we retire, and the big takeaways from her workbook, Rewire to Retire: Five Crucial Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before You Retire That Have Nothing To Do With Money.
