Like most career-focused people Dr. Bill Roiter had not
really thought much about retirement until something happened: many
of his clients began to ask him his ideas on the subject. Over the
past 30 years Bill, a psychologist, has used his knowledge of human
behavior to consult to organizations and to coach their executives.
Many of the people Bill has known and worked with over the years
are retiring or are contemplating it. Many have asked Bill what
they should know and think about as they move beyond their
work-focused lives. Then four years ago Bill's wife retired
from her corporate job and focused Bill's attention on the
personal, as well as the professional, aspects of this dynamic part
of life. This book is the result of Bill's work with these
accomplished people.
Bill maintains his own executive coaching practice in the Boston area. In 2004, he coauthored a book with Margaret Butteriss that identified and described Corporate MVPs (Wiley, 2004). He has also owned and sold two businesses, been a vice president for sales and marketing of a publicly traded company, and helped found a venture capital-backed electronic communications company. For the past 12 years Bill has focused his work on coaching executives as they transition to their next challenge.
Bill's professional training includes a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree from Boston University and post-doctoral training and teaching at Harvard University. Bill also teaches executive coaching to professionals looking to develop this expertise.
