Improving Mental Wellness with Purpose, In & Beyond the Workplace

Refocus Coaching’s Organizational Program equips businesses with tools to guide both employees and those they serve, helping them create a vision for a meaningful life. Studies show that when leaders promote care for one another’s mental wellbeing, there is a prominent increase in personal growth, stronger connections, and enhanced organizational culture.

Launched in late 2021, Refocus Coaching was inspired by a deeply personal tragedy when Hixon Zuercher Capital Management’s CEO, Tony Hixon, lost his mother in 2011. After retiring, she found herself battling anxiety, depression, and a loss of purpose, ultimately leading to her tragic passing by suicide. This heartbreaking journey brought to light the critical need to support emotional aspects of life transitions, even beyond retirement.

This experience led Tony to write his Amazon Best-Selling book, Retirement Stepping Stones: Find Meaning, Live with Purpose, and Leave a Legacy.

Refocus Coaching was designed to bring the book’s concepts to life. Tony’s goal was for readers to do more than just finish the book and set it aside. He wanted them to apply its principles in a meaningful way. Certified Professional Retirement Coach, Scott Miller, plays a key role in turning that vision into a reality. His goal is in helping individuals rediscover their uniqueness, reorient and repurpose their lives, develop meaningful social connections, and leave a lasting legacy.

The expansion into businesses and organizations addresses the need to support employees in three areas: equipping them to serve clients during the retirement transition, supporting the exiting of employees into a fulfilling second half of life, and enhancing employees at any stage with purpose-driven workshops.
