Talk Credit Radio With Gerri Detweiler

The Baby Boomer generation grew up feeling powerful, relevant and able to effect important change. The future looked good -- if they worked hard and did all the right things they were guaranteed a comfortable life. But for many of us, things did not go as planned. Converging forces - the recession, longer lifespans, and the disappearance of traditional retirement funding - have forced many to face a very different reality than the one they expected. George Schofield, PH.D. and author of After 50 It’s Up to Us, Developing the Skills and Agility We’ll Need joins me to share his insights for those feeling lost and overwhelmed. We discuss how many of us over 50 are pioneers without role models for the interruptions we have experienced. Why it can be so hard to know who we are independent of our roles. The difference between lifelong learning and lifelong development and why it’s so important to distinguish between the two. This episode aired live June 24, 2013.
