SPEAKING
What if the most interesting part of your life is still ahead?
Retirement is supposed to be the reward. But after the travel, the projects, the golf, the grandkids - and the sheer relief of having your time back - a surprising question can emerge:
Now, what?
Dale Power offers a different way of thinking about retirement — one that challenges the assumptions and cultural expectations people have been handed about what comes next. Through story, humor and a practical process for exploring what matters, Dale invites audiences to reconsider what they believe is possible and imagine a next chapter with greater curiosity, meaning and possibility.
Her message is simple:
You are not finished becoming.

Your Most Brilliant Chapter May Be the One You Haven’t Written Yet
Dale begins with a story from Outward Bound that changed the way she understood her own assumptions about what she could do.
Retirement can change far more than a person’s work. Identity, community, time and relationships can all shift at once. Yet the culture often hands us a ready-made script for what retirement is supposed to look like.
What if retirement isn’t primarily about stopping?
What if it’s an invitation to become curious again?
Dale offers another possibility: instead of following a predetermined script, what if you approached your next chapter with curiosity, questioned the rules that no longer serve you, and experimented with what might be meaningful now?
Her Reimagine Retirement approach gives people a way to move from reflection to possibility — identifying what matters, recognizing patterns, exploring possibilities and using small experiments to discover what fits.

- A new way of thinking about retirement — as a period of possibility rather than simply decline or stopping.

- Permission to experiment, stay curious and discover what might be meaningful now.
- COURAGE IS WHERE POSSIBILITY BEGINS
Dale knows something about beginning again.
Her own life has included entrepreneurship, reinvention, unexpected loss, enormous change—and an Outward Bound experience that put a woman afraid of heights high above the ground on a ropes course in the pouring rain.
She learned something there that has stayed with her ever since:
Courage isn’t the absence of uncertainty.
It’s what allows us to move toward possibility when the path isn’t clear.
