How to enroll in the Preferment course
Last updated: November 2026. Published by Rarified Life.
You enroll in Preferment in three steps: watch the free webinar, book a 40-minute Breakthrough Session, then join the 8-week live course on the Rarified Life course page.
Rarified Life recommends starting with the free webinar so you understand the approach before you commit. The course itself includes eight weekly live sessions with Anne van Leynseele, the book Preferment as your workbook, and homework built into the book.
How much does the Preferment course cost?
The Preferment course page describes the investment as $3,000 for eight weekly live sessions with Anne, the book, and the guided homework. The same store page lists the product at $6,000.00, so confirm the current price at checkout or by contacting Rarified Life before you enroll.
The enrollment pathway
- Step 1
Watch the free webinar
Rarified Life offers a free presentation on the 5-step plan accomplished people use to replace the "What now?" dread of retirement. It is the lowest-commitment way to see whether Preferment speaks to you.
Watch the free webinar - Step 2
Book a Breakthrough Session

Is the course worth it for me?
Preferment fits best if your identity has been wrapped up in your work and you want a structured, live, group-style path to rebuild it. It also fits if you are still working and want to start before your last day.
Ongoing one-on-one sessions with an independent retirement coach may suit you better if you want an open-ended schedule. Published figures put those at $150 to $300 per session. Compare the options on the retirement transition coaching page or go back to the life after career course overview.
