Kelly Benthall, 53, retired early with her husband to travel the world, but she quickly realized that retirement required the same strategic mindset she once used in consulting.
From boardrooms to slow travel, she applies lessons in adaptability, holding weekly “business meetings” to review finances and travel plans.
Learning languages, navigating new cultures, and even rediscovering scuba diving have reinforced her belief that growth comes from iteration.
Beyond personal enrichment, she and her husband strive to leave a positive impact wherever they go.
For Benthall, retirement isn’t just about relaxation, it’s about embracing change and drinking her own Champagne.
My Take…
