Eighty million baby boomers are looking to write the next chapters of their life stories and, as we’ve often said, they have a monumental opportunity to inscribe this country’s history. At Laird Norton Wealth Management, we believe that understanding what matters most to you and planning for transitions ahead fundamentally impact your likelihood for success and satisfaction. The boomer generation should be thinking about this as they approach this iconic milestone.

Sharing this philosophy is Bill George, former Medtronic CEO, Harvard Business School professor and best-selling author. His book, True North, is an excellent guide for the boomer generation or anyone grappling with the question of What’s Next? Laird Norton Wealth Management invited Bill George to speak last night to a boomer-tilted audience at our latest Thought Forum™. George shared his advice for find your true north and discovering ways to enhance your retirement and perhaps change the world for the better.

What matters most to you? During life’s pivotal transitions, this is an essential question. So start today to pursue what’s next for you, to grow your human capital and your financial capital.
