TransitionWorksNancy K. Schlossberg and Stephanie Kay’s
TransitionWorks is dedicated to helping people manage change, be it related to work, relationships, or even following military service. TransitionWorks links to a number of resources, but its primary offering is the Transition Guide, “a no-nonsense, action-oriented approach to mastering change,” according to the site.
Schlossberg also wrote
Retire Smart, Retire Happy (Washington D.C.: APA, 2003). "Talk to a good career counselor who is well-trained. Explore with the counselor what you might do next. Know all along that even if you’ve got the best plan in the world you are going to have some bumps regarding identity," Schlossberg advocates. "We’ve got coaches for every part of our life; just be sure you get one who’s well trained." She recommends contacting the
National Career Development Association , which can help you find qualified coaches in your area.
