About Arthur Schwartz

A Trusted Guide for Life’s Next Chapter

Arthur Schwartz

Meet Arthur Schwartz, PCC

After 30 years of coaching leaders and professionals around the world, I’ve shifted my focus to a different kind of transition—one that is deeply personal.

I now work with individuals entering retirement who want more than just “time off.” They want clarity, purpose, and a meaningful path forward.

My approach combines decades of coaching experience with a practical, structured framework to help you design a life that feels fulfilling and intentional.

Value Proposition

I help successful professionals transition into retirement with clarity, purpose, and a structured plan for what comes next—so they don’t drift, lose identity, or underutilize the next chapter of their lives

Arthur’s Background

Before founding Accelerant Coaching, I spent more than two decades leading teams and growing organizations.

Today, my work is more personal. I understand transition not just professionally, but from lived experience — navigating what it means to step out of one chapter and thoughtfully create what comes next.

I now focus on supporting individuals in this same moment of transition — helping them find clarity, direction, and renewed purpose.

I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation and a Level 3 Certified Coach in Conversational Intelligence® (C-IQ).
