Reaching Decision Altitude: An Executive's Guide to Making the Jump from Corporate with Courage and Vision offers advice and inspiration on creating a joyful life after corporate. Whether you are retirement age or not, the key to making the transition from your professional life to what's next is to consciously plan what you want and need in all aspects of your life-not just the financials that most retirement books explore. In piloting of a plane, there is an instant when the pilot must make a decision: do I land or do I abort? It is a critical moment that determines the success of the landing. That point is called Decision Altitude. It is also the term that describes when a skydiver must take emergency action if their chute hasn't opened automatically. When you reach your own personal decision altitude, you are faced with an important decision about what you will do after you leave your corporate role.
