Lloyd Reeb has had the privilege of investing more than 15 years now helping leaders plan their second half. He helped launch the Halftime Institute, a global team that teach, coach and connect successful men and women in pursuit of significance.
In Lloyd’s words, “When all you’ve done or own seems to matter less …and your heart craves more meaning, joy and balance…when something triggers in your mind that you’re entering your second half of life and you’re unsure what your calling is for the next season… you’re in Halftime.” Lloyd has taken the Halftime message around the world: speaking, teaching and coaching individuals through the journey. As a result, Lloyd understands the issues that surround your Halftime in a deep and practical way. Lloyd is the author of From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn’t Enough, which is a road map for this mid-life transition. His book The Second Half: Real stories, Real adventures, Real significance provides compelling evidence that your second half could be the most creative and productive season of your life.
Lloyd and his wife, Linda, have written the latest book in the Halftime series titled Halftime for Couples. They live in Charlotte, North Carolina. They have three adult children.
