Andrea R. Huff is an expert coach and consultant for people entering the third stage of their lives, generally ages 50-plus. She is a career and leadership consultant and was a Managing Director and on the Executive Team of the world's leading career and leadership consulting company, Lee Hecht Harrison. In her current coaching practice, she specializes in working with people who are preparing to enter, or have already entered, the third stage of their lives and want to live an active retirement. Her comprehensive process helps them find the most meaningful ways to use their time, open businesses or modify current ones, manage their health, be creative, develop inner lives and find new identities that are satisfying and impactful. Her approach can be useful to people who are 40 as well as those who are 60. In her first book, Every Night's Friday Night, she takes a fresh look at these topics in a holistic and joyful way that offers new thinking and is easy to read. It's inspiring and doesn't gloss over the challenges. She also has what some would call a paradoxical approach that makes perfect sense.
