Av Lieberman
Av has spent nearly
20 years working with HR execs teaching
mid/large sized companies how best to handle
pre-retirement education and lifestyle
transition planning.
He knows this
industry inside and out and has had direct experience
in it myself; previously I had a 28-year
career in the life insurance industry and
was suddenly downsized out of my job. It was
a shocking experience for me. I had never
been unemployed, and I had no exit strategy,
no vision of what I wanted to do with the
rest of my life. That event had a very nice
silver lining as it was shortly thereafter I
sought to provide a solution to others in
the same situation and two decades later, I
couldn't be happier with my role in helping
others.
I'm a family man and
regularly travel across Canada for business
and personal pursuits.
About The

The Retirement
Education Centre (RECI) is an education,
advocacy and research organization dedicated
to helping employees and union members
transition to the “New” Retirement. Our
mandate is to provide the education and
tools needed to help make the transition to
the next stage of life. Through our
workshops, an online transition program,
modeling software, and other support
material, we work with employees to develop
a clear vision of their future.
RECI does not sell
financial products or give advice. It is
strictly in the business of education and
training and provides its services to
corporations, organizations, and unions. In
the 19 years it has been in business the
program has been delivered to thousands of
employees and union members.
Because of the
unique and value added nature of its
Retirement Education and Lifestyle
Transition Planning Program, RECI has
attracted a number of well-known Canadian
corporate clients. These clients have
contracted RECI to teach this unique program
to employees. A partial list includes:
