Drawing on twelve months of research involving more than 21,000 retirees across the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, George developed the DARE Method® and authored a trilogy of books that help professionals, executives, business owners, and retirees rediscover identity, purpose, and contribution so that retirement becomes not an ending, but a homecoming to themselves, and the beginning of a meaningful life of significance. From retirement to refirement George was just 52 when he was given six months to live. Thankfully, his diagnosis was wrong, but so was the “hellish” semi-retirement he was propelled into. George had money, friends, newly restored good health, and an active social life, but it wasn’t enough. And so, he ‘unretired’ and embarked on a journey to discover his true purpose. George’s innovative and pioneering program, The DARE Method®, has helped clients the world over and his book, DARE to Discover Your Purpose, is an international bestseller. Through them he challenges boomers to rebel against conventional approaches to retirement, reset their subconscious mind and remove obstacles which stand in the way of the life they want to live.
