Client Feedback

The defining moments for any executive are how they enter and how they exit. If those bookends are done properly, you end up with positive alumni, a good experience, and a visible example of how we treat leaders. That reflects who we are as a company.

Finishing well isn’t just naming a successor. It’s making way for the successor – giving them opportunities before they’re ever in the seat. That builds confidence for the company and the successor. It shows how intentionally the organization supports its leaders.

MyNextSeason is such a unique gift to the world, really. And I don’t take that lightly or for granted. Any time I’ve brought them into an organization, I had zero worries about the quality of the resources. When you invest in this, you don’t have to worry about effectiveness- that’s a phenomenal opportunity.

The fact that my company provided transition support made me feel incredibly supported and my MyNextSeason Advisor was a great extension of that care. She was genuinely interested in me as a person and a professional and provided an absolute lifeline this past year. She was always helpful and respectful and brought in other team members to help me discern and prepare for my next role.

I’m humbled and extremely appreciative of having access to this outstanding program, and it was valuable to both me and my wife. The Advisor match and high-caliber materials provided a powerful combination, and I’ve encouraged the company to continue to offer the program to others.

I am very appreciative that my company would think enough of this transition and me to make this service available. It was very helpful and left me with a continued fondness for the company and the time I spent there. It put a bow on the relationship with a thoughtful, caring act.

I started working with MyNextSeason with low expectations…I came out wanting it for every executive! MyNextSeason’s strength is the caliber of Advisors, expertise of the firm, and quality of materials. Whether you want to do boards, re-enter the work world, give back to your community, or explore other areas, the support is excellent.

Working with MyNextSeason was a great and helpful experience. The process, materials, and people I interacted with were all top-notch, and I would highly recommend it to others.

Nobody prepares us to retire—it’s in the back of your mind but it’s just not urgent. The MyNextSeason process was incredibly valuable because it provided structure and advising from someone who’s been through it. During my whole career I had people to bounce things off of, so I needed it for this transition as well

MyNextSeason is well worth the investment and provided me with great resources: knowledgeable advising support, phenomenal resume and bio development, board guidance, and health and wellness intel. It was excellent.

“It is a great way to make a retirement transition and really hone what you want out of life next.”

MyNextSeason helps you leave well, land well, and feel good about the scarifices you have made as well as what’s next. I highly recommend it. By leaving well, you are also able to continue being an advocate for the company in your circles of influence.

MyNextSeason’s process for Advisor matching was very effective, and one I would highly recommend. My Advisor and I shared a no-nonsense style and it just ‘worked.’ She had extensive executive experience in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors and provided excellent support and advice as I worked to make a similar pivot. The program was instrumental in my path to an exciting new role as President and CEO of the National Safety Council.

I am so impressed and pleased with the assistance provided to me by every member of the MyNextSeason team. They are extremely helpful, proactive, highly responsive, and professional. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with each of my coaches and am confident their assistance will enable me to achieve my goal of making a difference in my next phase.

I had the benefit of working with a ‘best in class’ Advisor, interacting with an entire team, and taking advantage of all the connections that were made on my behalf. While my path hasn’t been a straight line, I’ve experienced a lot of growth and clarity because of the support I’ve received. MyNextSeason took me by the hand and didn’t let go.

Highly recommend MyNextSeason—an excellent way of transitioning—helps you think through the many aspects of a next chapter you haven’t even had a chance to consider when you’re focused on your job!

I had the good fortune of experiencing the MyNextSeason program in a group setting with fellow CIOs. We shared common experiences but different concerns, ideas, and thought processes. Our Advisor did a great job of facilitating the conversation without oversteering. The synergy of the group and the MyNextSeason approach were extremely beneficial to me!

My transition was not gradual, it was like a power outage. There are a hundred reasons why it’s not a ‘good thing’ to stay too involved with your company once you leave, so there’s a feeling of being stranded and disconnected. Having my Advisor to talk with provided helpful and unbiased support.

Getting an off-ramp from a company after working there for 25 years is never easy, but I am in a good place thanks to the help of MyNextSeason. The team helped me find my ‘sweet spot’ with support, dialogue, and research that made it smooth and actually even exciting for me. I am energized and looking forward to a different career that will continue to grow and stretch me in new ways. I know there will be many more next seasons but for the current one — I have landed well.

I found great value in this experience and everyone I interacted with at MyNextSeason was top-notch!

I always advised others who were making big career transitions to use a coach, and for once I actually took my own advice! I came out of MyNextSeason feeling great about my retirement, transition, and new opportunities.

I used to hate networking and avoided anything that didn’t move my work forward. The MyNextSeason team really helped shift my thinking and provided a great tool for segmenting my network and logging contacts. I now view meeting new people and attending events as an important part of my core work!

It was so helpful to start the MyNextSeason process before I actually retired – during a time when I was just starting to get my head around the realities and shift my thinking. It gave time and space for an evolution of thought and helped me approach the retirement date without undue anxiety.

The structure, program, and support of MyNextSeason was invaluable to me. I had a lot of trepidation about leaving the company, job, and team that I loved and the entire MyNextSeason team was consistently helpful and reassuring. I can’t say enough good things about my experience.

As a CHRO, I’d sent quite a few executives to MyNextSeason for support. As a result, I had pretty high expectations when I engaged during my own transition. The experience, however, exceeded expectations. My Advisor managed the process in a way that didn’t feel overly prescriptive and set a supportive tone throughout. She asked probing questions and held up a mirror to the things that were most important to me in a helpful, insightful, never judgmental way.

MyNextSeason provides a comprehensive approach to transitioning – aside from the financial aspects that are often front and center. The program helped me tie the underlying important aspects of the transition together through an organized, professional yet comfortable process. The team delivered on everything as promised.

My Advisor and team were awesome to work with. The partnership between the firm and MyNextSeason is very beneficial and, as a result, I am much better prepared for the future in front of me.

My Advisor was a great coach, listened well, and provided mature counsel.
