Even if you think you know what you want to do post retirement, the MyNextSeason process will help you look both inward and outward to get a fresh perspective to validate/augment your thinking. I highly recommend MyNextSeason.
Brian Hughes
Former Partner, KPMG
Executive Transition
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.
Raghu Krishnamoorthy
Former CHRO, General Electric Company
Executive Transition
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.
Nikki Gonzalez

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.
David King
Former CEO, LabCorp
Executive Transition
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.

Former Senior Audit Partner, KPMG

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!
Michael Idelchik
Former Vice President, Advanced Technology, General Electric Company
Executive Transition
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.

My Advisor was great – she had just the right energy level and made everything clear! She was
supportive without being directional and helped me think through my transition to a great new role.
Tara Plimpton
Former Vice President, General Counsel Global Operations, General Electric Company
Executive Transition
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!
Andrew Lockhart
Former Chief Information Officer, Ally Bank and Global Marketing
Executive Transition
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.
Kent Sluyter
Former President, Prudential Annuities
Executive Advising
I’ve appreciated the regular check-ins with my Advisor. She has been immensely helpful to my planning
as well as how to best support Prudential during and post-transition.
Steve Pelletier
Former Executive Vice President and COO, Prudential
Early & Mid-Career
I was up for a promotion to a manager role at my company, and I had expressed some doubt about whether I was ready to take on a role of this responsibility. My MyNextSeason advisor had encouraged me to let the interviewers be the ones to tell me I’m not ready. Well, I was offered, and I accepted, that manager position!

Chris Hadorn
Former Partner, KPMG
Executive Transition
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!
Tara Plimpton
Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Regions Financial Corporation; Former Vice President, General Counsel Global Operations, General Electric Company
Executive Transition
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.
Myron Hendry
Former EVP, Chief Platform Officer and Integration Co-Leader, XL Group
Executive Transition
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.

Director, Financial Services Firm
Executive Transition
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.
Lorraine Martin
Former Executive Vice President and Deputy, Rotary and Mission Systems, Lockheed Martin
Executive Transition
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.
Candace Sutcliffe
Former SVP & Chief Compliance Officer, Liberty Mutual Insurance
Early & Mid-Career
Working with MyNextSeason gave me the insight and confidence to pursue a role change at my organization that I previously might never have considered. I used what I learned about communication skills, particularly with my manager, to navigate the conversations about wanting to stay at the company, but also wanting to try a role that was more aligned with my opportunity areas and my interests.
