The free retirement coaching webinar for life after your career
Last updated:
What is the Preferment retirement coaching webinar?
It is a free retirement coaching webinar from Rarified Life that teaches a 5-step plan for building purpose and identity after your career, with instant access when you register.
The Preferment webinar is for high achievers approaching or living life after work who want more than a slower calendar. Rarified Life built its Preferment framework as an active, purpose-driven alternative to retirement, so the next chapter is something you shape on purpose instead of something that simply happens to you.
Quick answers before you register
- Is the Preferment webinar free?
- Yes, the Preferment webinar is free. Rarified Life presents it as a free class with instant access after you register. There is no price listed for the webinar itself. Paid options, such as the 8-week live course, are separate and optional.
- Who is the Preferment webinar for?
- The Preferment webinar is for people approaching or navigating life after a career, especially high achievers who want purpose and identity beyond work. Rarified Life's registration page speaks directly to accomplished women in their 50s and 60s who are nearing or in retirement.
- What happens after I register?
- After you register on the Rarified Life registration page, you get instant access to the free training. Rarified Life sends a welcome package within 24 hours of registration, and its intake process is built to keep everything focused on your situation rather than drifting off topic.
What is Preferment?
Preferment is Rarified Life's framework for life after a career: an active, purpose-driven alternative to retirement that treats the end of work as a promotion into a chapter you design, not a withdrawal from life. Rarified Life describes it as research-backed, and it is built on the book Preferment by Anne van Leynseele.
The idea is simple. Most retirement preparation focuses on money. Preferment focuses on everything else: who you are without the title, what moves you now that a paycheck is not the reason, and how you will actually spend your days. The free webinar is the front door to that framework.

- Why smart, capable people stall a few months into retirement, and how to turn that around today.
- Why meeting only with a financial planner is not a plan for the rest of your life.
- How to pinpoint what your future self really wants from you, even if it feels like a mystery now.

- How to start all of this without slowing down, waiting for retirement day, or asking permission.
How does Preferment compare with other ways to prepare for retirement?
Preferment is the only option of the three that plans the life side of retirement as a structured, live program. Financial planning remains essential for money, and the two work well together.
| Criterion | Preferment (Rarified Life) | Financial planning only | Traditional retirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main focus | Identity, purpose, motivation, and daily life after work | Money: savings, income, investments | Stepping back from active life |
| Structure | 6 modules over 8 weeks, live sessions, companion book | Meetings focused on financial goals | Usually none |
| When to start | Now, even while still working full time | Years before retirement | On your last day |
| Practical tools | 30 day planner, built-in homework, welcome package within 24 hours | Financial plans and projections | None |
| Free way to try it | Yes, the Preferment webinar | Varies by planner | Not applicable |

The Preferment webinar, in one participant's words
“I spent a few years wandering around like a goldfish in a bowl. Preferment changed all that! I thought work defined me, but I discovered I am so much more. I learned to ‘be’ rather than just ‘do’ on autopilot.”

A LiveWebinar report drawing on nearly 440 professionals found that 83% of attendees take concrete action after a webinar.

Guides to life after a career
Common questions
- What will I learn in the Preferment webinar?
- The webinar covers how to answer "So, what do you do?" without starting with "I used to", why capable people stall a few months into retirement, why a financial plan alone is not a plan for your life, and how to pinpoint what your future self wants. It presents a 5-step plan you can start while still working.
- Can I join if I am still working full time?
- Yes. The Preferment webinar is designed so you can start while still working, even if your last day is years away. It covers how to begin turning things around now, without slowing down, without waiting for retirement day, and without asking anyone's permission.
- Is a retirement coach the same as a financial planner?
- No. A financial planner helps with money: savings, income, and investments. A retirement coach helps with life: identity, purpose, and how you spend your days. The Preferment webinar argues that meeting only with a financial planner leaves the rest of your life unplanned, and covers what to do instead.
- How much does the Preferment live course cost?
- The Preferment live course page on the Rarified Life site lists the investment as $3,000 for eight weekly live sessions with Anne, the book, and guided homework. Prices can change, so confirm the current figure on the course page or through Rarified Life's contact page before you enroll.
- What if my whole identity is wrapped up in my work?
- That is exactly who Preferment is built for. The webinar promises a path that works even if your entire identity has been tied to your career. The Identity module of the course focuses on separating who you are from what you did for a living.
- How do I contact Rarified Life?
- Contact Rarified Life through its contact page at rarifiedlife.com/contact-7521. Every "Contact Rarified Life" button on this site links there. Rarified Life offers prompt phone customer service and a welcome package within 24 hours of registration.
