Retirement has shifted from a time of slowing down to an opportunity to “rewire” and discover new purpose. Susan’s mission is to redefine retirement by equipping financial advisors and exit planning professionals with the education, tools, and resources needed to help clients navigate the non-financial challenges of retirement. By incorporating a retirement lifestyle planning approach into their practice, advisors can enhance the client experience, differentiate themselves in a competitive landscape, and cultivate new business opportunities.

With a 38+ year career behind her as a top performing financial advisor at industry leading institutions such as Merrill Lynch, RBC, and Richardson Wealth, Susan sold her wealth practice in 2019 to focus on working with financial advisors and their clients on the non-financial challenges that they face.

Susan is Co-Founder and Partner at Next Chapter Lifestyle Advisors. She is also a faculty member at the Exit Planning Institute – Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) Program.

Susan’s dedication to professional development is exemplified by her commitment to staying on top of her field, including Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) and Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD. D) designations. Susan is a Certified Professional Retirement Coach (CPRC) plus a certified SuccessFinder practitioner. She also holds an Executive MBA.

Susan was a former board member of Richardson Financial Group where she was honoured with the prestigious Hummingbird Award for exceptional leadership. She currently sits on the investment committee of a private family foundation.

Susan has published several books including “On the Shoulders of Atlas, A Story about Transitioning a Family Owned Business” and her latest book, “9 Steps to RichLife Retirement, Live Well, Give Back, Leave a Legacy.”

As a speaker, Susan shares her first-hand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities that financial advisors and their clients face in the new landscape of retirement.
