What is the Golden Window?

Your Golden Window is the stretch of time, often your mid-50s through your early 70s, when you are most likely to be healthy, active, energetic, and able to pursue what matters most to you. It is a measure of vitality, not longevity.

After it, health constraints tend to narrow what is possible. The window does not slam shut. It closes gradually.

The question this course helps you answer is simple: how much of that window do you have left, and how quickly are you spending it by staying where you are?

WHAT EARLY REVIEWERS ARE SAYING

"Sharon's insight into my retirement decisions helped me make choices
I am excited about and avoid the anxiety so many of my friends have faced."
JD, senior healthcare executive

"It’s rare to find something truly different that actually changes your thinking, but Sharon has done it.
The Golden Window calculates the number every senior professional needs to see, while they can still do something about it.
I will never take my Golden Window for granted again."
MT, publishing executive

The Golden Window asked me a question my financial advisor never did: not 'how much money do I need to retire comfortably' but 'how much time do I have left, and am I actually spending it on what matters most to me?' That reframe was worth the price of admission… It pulled my decision-making out of the spreadsheet and into my values and heart.
Anna Marie Wood, JD, LLM, PCC
President & Chief Coaching Officer, Zenergy Coaching & Consulting

Are you ready to understand the cost of the time you're trading to stay where you are?


I'm Sharon Hull, executive coach, retired physician, academic leader, and author of Professional Careers by Design: A Handbook for the Bespoke Life.

I'm ready to share what I have learned over 15 years of professional executive coaching with more than 500 professionals facing career transition decisions.

What you'll gain from this course:

  • You will know your Health-Adjusted Opportunity Cost (HAOC): the cost of staying each additional year.

  • You'll write a Personal Reckoning Statement, one sentence that captures the true cost, in dollars and time of staying in your current situation.

  • You'll have everything you need to gain clarity about what you want to do next, and action steps you can take immediately if you choose.

This five-day email course gives you what you need to understand the time and money costs of deciding whether it's time to retire.

Want to know it's worth it before you sign up? Here's everything you'll find inside.

Here's everything that's inside:

The Golden Window is a five-day email course paired with an interactive tool that does the calculation with you. By Day 5 you will have a single, clear number, your HAOC, and a one-sentence Reckoning Statement that names exactly what staying is costing you.

Day 0: Welcome and brief pre-work: You set up the tool once: a short Career Cycle Diagnostic, a What Matters Most to You reflection, and two numbers (how many years you realistically plan to stay, and the additional income staying would generate). The tool remembers everything, so each day builds on the last.Day 1: Your Engagement: Using the Four Es (Education, Experience, Exposure, and Enthusiasm), the tool reveals your Engagement Multiplier: the rate at which each calendar year in your role spends your Golden Window. High enthusiasm slows that rate. Low enthusiasm speeds it up.Day 2: Your Golden Window: You add one new number, your age, and the tool reveals your Golden Window and your Health Add-on: how many high-function years you have available, adjusted for your stage of life.Day 3: Your Health-Adjusted Opportunity Cost (HAOC): Everything comes together. The tool calculates your HAOC, the cost of staying measured in healthy years, along with your Golden Year Value, the dollar figure on each year of your window. This is the number that tends to get people's attention.Day 4: Your Results: You interpret what your HAOC means, cross-check it against your Career Cycle Diagnostic, and write your Reckoning Statement: one sentence that captures what staying is costing you and whether it is a trade you are willing to make.Day 5: What Will You Do With This Information? The hardest question in the course, and the hardest to answer honestly. You leave with three specific next actions, each with a date, and a clear sense of your most honest next step.

Everything you write and calculate here lives on your own device and in a personal link only you hold: your reflections, your income and health inputs, your results, and your action steps. We never see any of it, and we never store it. The one thing we keep is your career stage, which we use only to send you relevant follow-up.
