Live Webinar with Halftime Alum, Jason Spaeth - REPLAY AVAILABLE
2022-05-25 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
Have you designed a roadmap? A roadmap is a game plan to form a vision for making the next season the best season.
It includes your long-term desires, personal mission statement, and a set of specific action plans to make a focused impact.

But what do you do when something grabs your heart that isn’t part of your roadmap strategy?

When we encounter something devastating like a global crisis, family in need, or systemic injustice — how do we know if it is a distraction or a redirection?
In this 30-minute webinar, we will dive into Halftime Alum, Jason Spaeth’s journey of feeling called to preserve hundreds of thousands of acres of American grasslands — to being all in helping Afghan refugees in deep crisis.
Together we will explore wisdom for pivoting after coming face-to-face with a big need.
For those who can stay on, there will be an interactive Q&A for an additional 20-30 minutes.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar: The 3 Most Important Things I Learned From Bob Buford
2020-02-27 09:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York) | Webinar
If you have had a wise mentor in your life, you will know the feeling that you can’t quite tell where you leave off and he or she begins.
The influence of an older, seasoned leader infusing wisdom into your everyday life over many years is priceless. I had the privilege of journeying side-by-side with Bob Buford for more than 20 years. We began our friendship when I was just 36 and today I am 58.
It is hard to measure the impact of a mentor until many years pass – and they have for me. Today, as I review my thick file of hand-written notes and email and conversation notes from my times with Bob, here are the three that I believe have had the biggest positive lasting impact on my life.
One is about me and my unique design, one is about my future, and one is about what I have. All three have drastically changed how I live. More importantly, all three bring me great joy most every day these 23 years later.
In this 30-minute webinar with Doug Piper and me, you will benefit immediately from Bob’s wisdom in these three areas, but more importantly, pick up ideas for finding and benefiting from a mentor in your own second half.
For those who can stay on, there will be an interactive Q&A for an additional 15-30 minutes.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar: Long-Term Investing: Investing Your Time & Resources in Light of Eternity
2020-01-24 09:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York) | Webinar
Consider this…
It’s 1865: The Civil War is ending and all of your wealth is in confederate currency. Before long, everything you’ve worked to earn will be worth nothing. Unless you can figure out a way to exchange your currency for something with lasting value.
The same is still true for us today. Ultimately, what we have now has short term value unless we figure out how to reinvest it for the long term.
At age 58, it is now clearer now than ever to me that thinking about a 30-year return on investment is not actually long-term investing. From my perspective, the last thirty years went by very fast and older, wiser people in their eighties tell me that the next thirty years will go by even faster.
Long-term investing is about deploying our influence and affluence in a way that will yield the maximum benefit for the rest of our lives and beyond. As a long-term investor, part of my due diligence then is to study the long-term yields of the things I invest in.
In this 30-minute webinar, Halftime Alum, Doug Piper, and I will explore how we can study heaven as diligently as any investment we have ever made.
For those who can stay on, there will be an interactive Q&A for an additional 15-30 minutes.

Revisiting Your Halftime Roadmap
One of the key attributes that we see in the lives of Halftime Alumni who stick with their calling over time is Adaptability.
They have a way of changing and flexing over decades of service – adjusting their style, skills, platform, and language. When the trend with aging is to become “stuck in our ways”, somehow these leaders have chosen to become adaptable.
How do they do it?
We’re learning by watching, but one thing we see is that they stop regularly and assess what is working and not working, letting their plans evolve. They get feedback from their family, friends and personal board. Their hearts are not only open to others’ perspectives, but they are actively listening to God and those around them.
In this 30-minute webinar, Doug Piper and Lloyd will talk about one possible way to reflect on the past year and plan for what’s next – using your Roadmap as a tool for the process.
Questions & Answers: For those who can stay on, we’ll spend another 20-30 minutes on Q&A.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar: Deeper, More Meaningful Family Holiday Gatherings
2019-11-14 09:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York)
Holidays come with great predictability, but it’s sometimes hard to know how to plan for these times to be as rich, joy-filled and meaningful as possible.
Part of making our second half the best season is bringing our creative leadership and intentionality to our family, as well as to our calling.
Families come in all different shapes and sizes, with one common theme…no family is perfect. Some families are in crisis, some are healthy and some thriving.
In this 30-minute webinar, Doug and I want to bring to you the framework, ideas, questions and examples to help you create Deeper, More Meaningful Family Holiday Gatherings.
What you will learn:

Most of the heavy lifting happens beforehand.
Use your strengths.
Make it a team effort.
Be focused and specific.
A little goes a long way.

Questions & Answers: For those who can stay on, we’ll spend another 20-30 minutes on Q&A.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar: Building Your Platform - A Systematic Way for Creating a Lasting Contribution
2019-09-26 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
Join us for the next webinar in our monthly series where we chat about strategies and challenges of moving from success to significance. On September 26th at 9:30am ET we’ll be talking about building your platform – a systematic way to make your best contribution.
A platform allows people with different strengths, but a common vision, to leverage processes to serve more people more effectively. In Galatians 6 we are encouraged to do the creative best with our own life, but how do we do that?
In this 30-minute webinar, Doug Piper and I want to explore a systematic way to design the creative platform that will enable you to make your best contribution:

Join an existing organization and what role?
Portfolio of roles with a common theme?
Build a team, assign roles, develop their skills?
Deciding what approach is best for you.

Questions & Answers: For those who can stay on, we’ll spend another 20-30 minutes on Q&A.

Please join us for our next “Coffee with Lloyd” webinar on August 15th at 9:30am ET. We’ll be talking about building your second half tribe – the people you need around you for maximum impact.
When we think about Halftime, most often we think about our purpose. What will I do with my next season that will bring more meaning, joy, and balance to this next season? But equally important…the People. Who are the people you love the most and how can you help them thrive on this journey? How can you include them in your exploration now? Who else do you need to go on this journey with?
What You Will Learn:
In this 30-minute webinar, Doug Piper and I will explore the idea of mapping out your vision with the people around you, how you can help your family thrive, and surround yourself with the people that can help you maximize your impact in this world.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar: Three Essential Limits to Finishing Well
2019-07-18 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
Please join us for our next “Coffee with Lloyd” webinar on July 18th at 9:30am ET. We’ll be talking about Three Essential Limits to Finishing Well (when too much can ruin our second half).
During one of my mentoring sessions with Bob Buford, when I was turning 50, he said something like…”Lloyd, in your first half of life you didn’t allow things like an outsized lifestyle or fear to limit you. You took the time to get clear on your calling and move beyond many limiting factors. I applaud you for that. But in this next season of your life you are going to have to learn to live within your limits.”
That’s not often the advice we hear from motivational speakers or find in self-help books. As you can imagine, my mind was whirling wondering what limits did he mean? In what area of my life was I exceeding my limits that I did not realize? He went on to explore at least five areas of my life where I was likely to try to go beyond my limits and it would eventually cost me.
Some had the potential to ruin my impact and even my reputation. Others might damage my health.
In our second half, some new limits emerge that we often don’t anticipate, but they enable us to make new and important contributions if we discipline ourselves to live within those limits.
In this 30-minute webinar Doug Piper and I will explore not only the limits that Bob Buford pointed out to me, but how you can identify the limits that you may need to live within for a healthy and productive second half.
For those who can stay on, we’ll spend another 20-30 minutes on Q&A.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar - The Science of Leverage in Your Second Half
2019-06-13 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago)
Many Halftime alumni discover their sweet spot and find a heightened level of joy when they see the blessing they bring in others’ lives. I can see it on their faces as they tell me about what they’re doing.
How can we maximize the impact of our second half without running ourselves ragged or jeopardizing family and health? From my observation of others who are making what Bob Buford would call “100X impact”, it’s about focus and leverage.
In this 30-minute webinar Doug Piper and I will unpack four elements of leverage and some examples of what that really looks like in someone’s daily rhythm.
For those who can stay on, we will interact around your questions for another 15-30 minutes.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar - Designing Your Own Spiritual Renewal Retreat
2019-05-16 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago)
Silence and solitude have been important elements in the Christian faith since Jesus modeled it for his disciples. But many of us who have had demanding careers and busy family lives, combined with travel and hobbies, have had the silence and solitude squeezed out of our lives.
When you are in a season of mid-life renewal, no amount of good thinking will enable you to discover your calling. As an elderly Chinese pastor once admonished me, “…remember young man, your calling is a gift to receive, not a goal to achieve.”
We have found that one of the best things you can do in your Halftime journey is to learn how to take time away by yourself to be still and listen to God. A short devotional each morning is important, but it plays a different role in your life. A silent spiritual retreat for a day or perhaps longer will take you to a different place. Most of the people I have coached over the past 20 years who have tried a spiritual retreat have found it so valuable that they cannot imagine how they got this far in life without regularly taking this kind of break from the noise.
So how do you get started and what can you do to make this really fit you personally?
This 30-minute webinar will focus on what we have learned about the essential elements for your retreat, and some creative ways to adapt the setting and pace. For those who can stay on, we will interact around your questions for another 15-30 minutes.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar - Taking the "Awkward" Out of Family Meetings
2019-04-18 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago)
In your Halftime journey, it’s important to bring your family and friends into the conversation. Often they don’t fully understand what you are going through, and it can raise questions and even fear. As you lean into what will make your second half the best it can be, family is a big part of that, as well as discovering our calling, building a sustainable financial plan and our personal/spiritual growth. So family conversations are almost always part of Halftime, even for those who are single. But, if your family is like mine, there’s a certain amount of ‘eye rolling’ and awkwardness that bubbles up when we plan a formal conversation about our family.
Why is that? What are the simplest and most creative things Halftimers have done to make it less awkward, and what are the most important things to keep in mind as you engage your family in your own mid-life renewal process?
Please join us for this free 30-minute webinar. In addition, you can post your questions on the webinar sign-up page before, during and after the webinar. Lloyd will try to answer all the questions during the optional 30-minute Q&A following the webinar.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar - Designing Helpful Low-Cost Probes
2019-03-21 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
Most people in Halftime are looking for clarity. Clarity about their purpose, but also about where they should live out that purpose…what organization, what role. We help them get clear, get free and get going.
Some find they are already in the best organization, so they stay where they are but work toward somewhat different outcomes. Many build a portfolio of roles, wrapped around a common interest.
But almost all need a way to test out their mission as a way of getting clear. We call those Low-Cost Probes.
This 30-minute webinar will bring to your doorstep all that we have been learning about how to test out your personal mission statement. Then, if you have questions, we’ll stick around for a little longer to talk through them. Hope you can join in!

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar - A Conversation for Spouses of Halftimers
2019-02-19 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
For Spouses of Halftimers: a path to greater alignment, intimacy and celebration
Many people enter Halftime to explore what’s next for them…only to discover that a healthy midlife renewal has to include the other stakeholders in their life. If you’re married and in Halftime, then your spouse is the primary stakeholder in the journey, but it is often confusing to them.
This webinar is for spouses of people in Halftime. Just share this link – Coffee with Lloyd_For Spouses of Halftimers_Feb 19, 2019 – with your spouse and encourage them to join in.
Your Halftime journey can look a lot like a midlife crisis. It can bring up fears or uncertainty for your spouse. Many spouses wonder why it needs to involve them; ‘after all, isn’t this just about your next thing’? Some spouses have been looking forward to this next season together, and they would like to tap into some of the process, assessments and coaching that you’ve been enjoying.
In this short 30-minute webinar Linda Reeb, co-author of Halftime for Couples, will share what she’s been learning from many years co-leading couples’ retreats. It will help you avoid common mistakes. Your second half could be the very best season together.
Followed by optional 30-minute Q & A.

"Coffee with Lloyd" Webinar - Including Your Spouse in Your Halftime Journey
2019-01-24 09:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York)
Creative, winsome ways to build alignment with your spouse in your next season.
Many of us launch into Halftime asking, “How should I use my time, experience, resources and influence going forward?” As we begin to answer that question, we realize it’s going to impact all the stakeholders in our life. If we’re married, the person most impacted by our Halftime journey is undoubtedly our spouse.
Your second half has the potential to be the very best season of your life – one with more time for your spouse and family, deeper friendships, and the freedom to give back where your passions and skills align.
How can you best enter this journey together with your spouse? How will you provide insight, perspective and encouragement to each other, and address your individual needs and fears along the way?
After many years of helping couples on this complex journey, we’ve discovered some simple steps that can help avoid needless confusion or angst. Join us for this 30-minute webinar to learn about these steps and ask any questions that come to mind.

Living out your calling becomes sustainable (and more full of joy) when you have a personal board of directors behind you on the journey. C.S. Lewis found it essential, and William Wilberforce was able to sustain his fight of slavery only with a personal board’s support.
In this webinar, Lloyd will share the best places to start and what that should look like. In addition, he will talk about:
> Strategies: Creative ways to build a personal board
> First Steps: How to get started
> Maximizing: How to get the most from your board
The Webinar Format:
• 30 minutes – Topical sharing with personal insights and tactical tips for creating a life-changing personal board.
• 30-minutes (optional) – Q&A where you can engage with Lloyd and other alumni around the topic.
Our goal is that these webinars would be a time-effective and value-rich way for you to continue to gain traction on a fulfilling and impactful second half.

…A Few Thoughts from Lloyd About Why This is Important to Halftimers
“There is compelling evidence that deep, intimate relationships not only bring more meaning and joy into our second half of life but also pave the road to lasting impact in this world. Yet many successful people reach midlife and discover that much of this intimacy has been squeezed out of their marriage, family and friendships. They have lots of acquaintances, some buddies, but few if any deep, lasting relationships. If that’s you, I can relate.
This book is dedicated to helping hard-charging leaders build deep intimate relationships as they reinvent themselves for their second half. Intimacy with their spouse, their kids and grandkids, friends and, most importantly, for those who are coming from a faith perspective, with God. Intimacy is a skill we are seldom taught or compensated for in our first half careers; however, it’s essential to a rich and meaningful second half. Out of intimacy comes trust, understanding, romance.
My objective is that if you invest 90 minutes reading Finally Connected you will better understand what real intimacy looks like and why it is key to a fulfilling life. It will also help you craft a roadmap to take the most important next steps.”

Be inspired by two powerful Halftime alumni stories. Real Estate Developer Tim Sittema who co-founded Freedom Communities. Barb & Allin Foulkrod who helped launch Hope Reins. And something new this year…connecting your interest with a Halftime alum who shares that interest…in a small group at the luncheon tables…more details below.

Tim Sittema is Managing Partner of Crosland Southeast, a diversified real estate development and investment company. Tim went through the Halftime Roundtable in Charlotte in 2010 and there developed his personal mission statement of bringing glory to God by living generously, loving well, and utilizing his real estate platform to support Kingdom builders and ministries while seeking opportunities to bless partners, associates and clients in eternal ways. Living out this mission has led directly to Tim’s involvement in Freedom Communities, a holistic effort to interrupt the cycle of generational poverty in West Charlotte.

Barb and Allin Foulkrod are both Halftime Institute alumni. They both helped found Hope Reins of Raleigh. Allin is the President of Creative Visions in Raleigh, NC. Allin and Creative Visions have been dedicated partners of Hope Reins since its inception in 2010.
Hope Reins (www.hopereinsnc.org) combines everything that we love: the redemptive power of the Gospel, family, community, horses and the outdoors. We provide comfort to hurting children and their families by providing one-on-one sessions between caring leaders and extraordinary ‘equine counselors,’ many of whom are rescued horses and faced abuse and neglect themselves. All are free of charge. Barb’s role is to maintain the character and integrity of our organizational culture. Allin brings his seasoned strategic mind as an entrepreneur.
“Our favorite moments happen when the Lord showcases His healing ower and hope-giving love.”

Connecting Opportunity!
Some of our Halftime alumni will be available to share their passion and experience in a particular field – during lunch, and also before or after lunch (as suits the host and those who sign up). Space is limited to just 8 per table – sign up early to reserve your spot. These discussions at the luncheon are just the start…we will have more opportunities in the future for this networking connection.

Halftime Carolinas Alumni & Friends Annual Luncheon
2017-05-05 11:30 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Charlotte Country Club, 2465 Mecklenburg Ave , Charlotte, NC, 28205, United States
You are invited to join the Halftime Carolinas Team, Alumni & Friends for our annual luncheon. Meet others who share your desire for their second half to be filled with meaning, joy and impact. Hear from Carolina alumni about their halftime journeys…

Mark Howard owns a successful pre-fab concrete company in Charlotte. Mark came to know Jesus through Joe Gibbs. He and Joe have partnered to bring Joe’s “Game Plan for Life” program into prisons in North Carolina. Today Mark blends his time between his fast-growing company and an innovative program providing seminary training to people in prison for life – equipping pastors inside our prisons to help transform the lives of inmates. His dream is that those who leave prison will stay out and be healthy enough to lead meaningful, joy-filled lives.

Bob and Susan Weber Bob Weber is a sought-after data and IT consultant in Charlotte, NC whose clients have included Bristol-Myers Squibb, Hitachi, Home Depot, and BMW. A Halftime journey in 2015 connected him with JAARS, the logistics and IT support organization for Wycliffe Bible Translators. Today, Bob has created the margin in his life and business to, in an ongoing relationship with JAARS, help them more effectively manage and leverage their resources to carry out their mission of bringing God’s word to the unreached people groups of the world and, with his wife, Susan, they have led a joint in-kind gift project at JAARS and a local community soccer outreach program for 3 to 5 year olds.

You and your spouse are welcome to attend. And, if you have a friend or colleague who is in his or her “halftime” and would be encouraged and inspired by joining us, feel free to extend this invitation to them as well. Or, perhaps reserve a table for eight and bring a group of friends and colleagues.
While we hope to see you there, if you register early and should find that you just can’t make it, let us know by Friday, April 21st and we’ll be glad to refund the full price of your registration. Or, if you can’t come but you believe that what Halftime does is valuable and want to leave the registration fee as a donation to Halftime Carolinas, we’d be grateful.

SPIRITUAL RENEWAL RETREAT
2016-07-20 - 2016-07-22 | The Cove in Asheville, NC
Course Overview:
Temporarily leaving behind the busyness of life and its daily distractions allow us to rest, reflect and refocus. At the Halftime Institute, we’ve discovered this is one of the most important things you can do – not only during your halftime journey but also as part of a consistent desire to stay close to Him through life and its remaining chapters.
Gently facilitated by Lloyd and Linda Reeb, authors of Halftime For Couples, our Spiritual Renewal Retreats are in a beautiful, peaceful environment insulated from the man-made world and all of its distractions and noise. It is a time for you to gain fresh insights into your relationship with God and others plus develop a deeper sense of community with those Halftime Institute Alumni who have the same desire. Spouses of Alumni are welcome also.
