Since retiring from her career as a senior financial services executive, Ellen Griggs has served on the boards of several prominent companies and nonprofit organizations, including Market Street Trust Corporation. As part of her new chapter in her life, Ellen Griggs participated in and continues to endorse the Life Portfolio Program.
As Americans climb the corporate ladder, many fall victim to career-oriented tunnel vision. In so doing, they fail to make time for other opportunities of interest to them, a failure that becomes particularly prominent in retirement.
In response, the Life Portfolio Program encourages professionals to view life as a portfolio of experiences. Just like individuals acquire stocks and securities, they collect the people, projects, and ideas that make life interesting.
Through this unique approach to retirement planning, participants build a plan for their futures, which may involve formal retirement but more often finds them creating new businesses or joining boards of directors. Developing a Life Portfolio encourages professionals to consider what they really want out of life and retirement, and helps them achieve these new goals.
