Procedure

The six Preferment modules, in order

Preferment is a structured path, not a self-help pep talk. You work through Anne van Leynseele’s book chapter by chapter, and each week builds on the last.

  1. Step 1: Introduction

    Where you are right now, and why the old model of retirement was never built for someone like you.

  2. Step 2: Identity

    Separating who you are from what you did for a living.

  3. Step 3: Motivation

    Finding what actually moves you, now that a paycheck is not the reason.

  4. Step 4: Alignment

    Matching your values and strengths to how you will actually spend your days.

  5. Step 5: Accountability

    Building the structure that turns intention into a lived routine.

  6. Step 6: Launch

    Naming your mission for this next chapter, and stepping into it.
