Retirement Keynote Speaker
Lukas Winward, The Golfing Counsellor

A Retirement Expert Who Understands the Mental Health Challenges of Australian Retirees

Retirement is one of the least understood transitions in life — and it’s not all cruise ships and golf courses. As a retirement counsellor and keynote speaker, Lukas Winward helps audiences understand what really happens when the routines, identity, and connections of work suddenly disappear.

​

With a unique background blending counselling, social work, and coaching, Lukas brings powerful insights into the challenges retirees face — boredom, loss of relevance, loneliness, and fractured relationships — and how to navigate them with purpose and resilience.

​

Whether you’re a golf club supporting members, a business serving the over-55 community, or an organisation working directly with retirees, booking Lukas as your keynote speaker shows your people that you understand, you care, and you’re ready to lead meaningful conversations about life beyond work.
