10 YEAR WINDOW

From Career to Enterprise

A 3-Day Residential Programme for Professionals Who Know Their Next Chapter Must Be Deliberate

22–24 October 2026
Inspire Center, Simawa, Ogun State, Nigeria

Lead: Davies M. Echegwisi

YOUR CAREER HAS A CLOCK. SO DOES YOUR CAPACITY.

For years, your career may have been defined by targets, promotions, responsibilities, performance and achievement.

But there comes a point when another question becomes impossible to ignore:

What happens after the career?

The 10 Year Window is designed for professionals who are approaching a significant career transition — particularly those with roughly ten years or less to retirement — and who do not want to wait until retirement before beginning to build what comes next.

Because retirement should not be the beginning of your next chapter.

It should be the continuation of one you have already begun designing.

WHAT IS THE 10 YEAR WINDOW?

The 10 Year Window is a practical framework for moving:

FROM CAREER TO ENTERPRISE

It challenges participants to look beyond the traditional retirement conversation and examine the intersection of:

Experience • Capacity • Knowledge • Networks • Resources • Enterprise • Legacy • Purpose

The central question is simple:

If you have approximately ten productive years before a major career transition, what can you deliberately build within that window?

And for those with fewer than ten years, the question becomes even more urgent:

What can you begin now?

THIS IS NOT A RETIREMENT SEMINAR.

It is not about preparing people to stop working.

It is about preparing them to keep creating value when the structure of employment changes.

Your accumulated experience does not retire simply because your employment does.

Your relationships do not retire.

Your ideas do not retire.

Your capacity to solve problems does not retire.

Your knowledge does not retire.

The question is what you will do with them.

WHY THIS PROGRAMME?

Many professionals spend decades building successful careers but give surprisingly little attention to what they will build when their formal career structure changes.

The result can be a difficult transition:

From a clearly defined professional identity to an uncertain future.

The 10 Year Window introduces a different approach.

Instead of waiting until retirement to ask “What next?”, participants are encouraged to use the years before retirement as a period of deliberate preparation, experimentation and enterprise creation.

Your next chapter can begin while your current chapter is still running.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE

1. THE WINDOW

Understanding the significance of the years between where you are today and your next major career transition.

2. THE SELF

Examining your experience, strengths, knowledge, interests, values and untapped capacity.

3. THE ASSETS

Identifying the resources accumulated through your career that can become foundations for enterprise.

4. THE OPPORTUNITY

Looking beyond conventional retirement businesses to identify meaningful opportunities that fit your capabilities, experience and context.

5. THE TRANSITION

Thinking through how to move gradually from employment dependence toward multiple sources of value and income.

6. THE ENTERPRISE

Beginning to translate experience and opportunity into something tangible that can grow.

7. THE LEGACY

Going beyond income to ask:

What do I want to leave working after I have left work?

THIS IS NOT JUST A TALKING PROGRAMME.

You will not simply listen to speakers and return home with a notebook full of inspirational quotes.

You will be encouraged to work through your own 10 Year Window.

You will examine:

Where am I now?

What do I already possess?

What can I build?

Who can I serve?

What should I begin now?

What should I stop postponing?

What could my next chapter look like?

The objective is not to produce a perfect business plan in three days.

It is to leave with greater clarity about the architecture of your next chapter — and the first steps required to begin building it.

WHY THREE DAYS AT INSPIRE CENTER?

Some transitions require more than another conference room.

They require space to think.

The 10 Year Window is a residential experience at Inspire Center, Simawa, Ogun State — a living environment built around nature, reflection, enterprise and regenerative thinking.

Away from the routines and pressures of the workplace, participants will have the opportunity to step back and examine their careers, capacities and possibilities from a different perspective.

This is deliberate.

You cannot always design your next chapter while standing inside the noise of your current one.

THE INSPIRE CENTER EXPERIENCE

Participants will experience an environment built around:

Nature. Reflection. Enterprise. Regeneration.

The residential experience provides opportunities for quiet reflection, conversations, walks, observation and engagement with the living systems around the Center.

Because sometimes the most important business decision you make is not made in a boardroom.

It is made when you finally have enough space to think.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The programme is particularly relevant to:

• Senior managers approaching retirement

• Executives with approximately 10 years or less to retirement

• Professionals considering a transition from employment to enterprise

• Business leaders who want to convert experience into new ventures

• Professionals who have accumulated significant knowledge but have not yet structured what comes next

• People who want their post-career years to remain economically and socially productive

• Professionals who recognise that waiting until retirement to start planning may be too late

You do not need to have a business idea already.

You need to be willing to think differently about what your experience can become.

WHAT YOU SHOULD LEAVE WITH

By the end of the programme, you should have:

• A clearer understanding of your personal 10 Year Window

• A better appreciation of the assets you have accumulated through your career

• Greater clarity about possible post-career pathways

• A preliminary direction for enterprise or value creation

• A framework for beginning your transition before retirement

• A clearer understanding of the role of relationships and networks in your next chapter

• Practical next steps for continuing the work after the programme

Most importantly:

You should leave seeing your remaining career years not merely as time running out, but as time available for deliberate creation.

YOUR NEXT CHAPTER DOES NOT HAVE TO WAIT.

You may have five years.

You may have seven.

You may have ten.

Or perhaps you have already crossed that threshold.

The principle remains the same:

The best time to begin designing what comes next is before what you have ends.

Your career has given you experience.

Your next chapter can turn that experience into enterprise.

Your enterprise can become a platform for legacy.
