Creating your Game Plan gives you structure and space to define your wishes and determine your health and medical priorities. It ensures you are prepared and confident while reducing family conflict when life changes.
Adele Simons offers a consulting process designed to reduce conflict and bring clarity to some of the most important choices of later life. Drawing on her background in conflict management, she guides individuals in their retirement years through a thoughtful and structured way of naming their health and care priorities. The goal is simple: to create a clear path for aging well, grounded in what matters most to you.
The work begins with listening. Together, we take the time to understand your values, your concerns, and the life you want to preserve. From there, we shape a written Game Plan that supports your medical and personal decision making and reflects your unique needs and priorities.
The process unfolds over four guided conversations. Each one builds on the last, helping you sort through questions that may have felt too big or too vague to tackle alone. By the end, you have a Game Plan that offers steadiness for the years ahead.
The final step is a facilitated family conversation. In this meeting, you share your Game Plan with the people who may one day support you. I guide the discussion so the focus stays clear and grounded. Families often leave with a shared understanding of your wishes and the confidence to honor them when it matters most.
We don’t just get sick and die quickly anymore. Today, many people live for years with chronic conditions, gradual change, and complicated medical decisions.
Advance directives still matter—but they don’t provide guidance for the long middle, when values matter more than instructions.

Adele Simons grew up in Nashville and graduated from Emory University before completing her master’s degree in Conflict Management at Lipscomb University in 2018. Her work took a personal turn as she watched her own parents age and realized how little guidance traditional end-of-life documents offered when real decisions needed to be made.
Drawing on her conflict-management training and her commitment to reducing family strain, she created The Game Plan, a simple four-meeting process that gives people a way to shape their lives long before end-of-life paperwork is relevant.
At the heart of her work is a belief that the right conversations can profoundly improve how we live and how we navigate the later years with clarity and confidence.

Your Gameplan clarifies how you wish to live, die and be remembered… I am so grateful for this experience with her and can not recommend her highly enough.
