It’s time to retire the word “retirement.”

A NEW BOOK BY SYLVIA TOENSE - COMING NOVEMBER 17, 2026

In its place: the Shift. An intentional redesign of your next chapter, on your own terms.

The Shift Playbook by Sylvia Toense, book cover.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Reframing the possibilities of life after work.

Most of us spend decades planning the financial side of life after a full-time career, but not the next chapter itself. The Shift Playbook walks you through the entire process, from the moment you start questioning what’s next, to the year after you’ve made the leap.

Not “What’s next?” but “Who do I want to be next?”

Sylvia spent 35 years building brands in corporate leadership roles, including as Head of Global Brand at T. Rowe Price. In 2024 she walked away from her full-time career and made her own Shift, because she believes your second act deserves as much intention as your first.
