Our approach
How this site explains the Preferment webinar
Last updated:
Where does the information on this site come from?
Program details on this site come from Rarified Life's own published materials, and outside statistics are quoted with a link to the page that published them.
What we rely on
- The Preferment webinar registration page, for what the free class covers and who it is written for.
- The Preferment live course page, for course length, modules, inclusions, and the listed investment.
- Program details provided by Rarified Life, such as the 24-hour welcome package and 30 day planner.
- Published webinar research from Zoom and LiveWebinar, always named and linked.
Our standards
We state prices and numbers exactly as Rarified Life publishes them, and we point you to the source page so you can confirm anything that may change. Where sources differ, we say so and tell you how to check. We do not invent testimonials, results, or credentials; the one testimonial quoted on this site appears on the Rarified Life homepage.
The guides on this site are practical, not clinical. If you are struggling with low mood or your health after leaving work, please also talk to a qualified medical professional.
How we keep pages current
Each page shows a “Last updated” date near the top. We change that date only when the page content changes. For the most current details on pricing or availability, check the program facts page and confirm with Rarified Life.
Common questions
- Is Preferment research-backed?
- Rarified Life describes Preferment as a research-backed framework, and the program is built chapter by chapter on Anne van Leynseele's book Preferment. If you want to see the sources behind a specific idea, the simplest step is to ask Rarified Life directly through its contact page before you enroll in the course.
- 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.
- Is the Preferment webinar only for women?
- Rarified Life's current registration page is written for accomplished women in their 50s and 60s, while the broader Preferment framework is described for driven people approaching or navigating life after a career. If you are unsure whether the webinar fits you, ask Rarified Life through its contact page.
- 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.
- Why start with a webinar instead of a coach?
- A free webinar lets you test an approach before committing time or money. Zoom's 2026 webinar statistics put average live attendance at 49% and total attendance including replays at 57%, and a LiveWebinar report of nearly 440 professionals found 83% of attendees take action after a webinar.
