Lanning has over forty years experience as an entrepreneur, banker, guitarists and pianist, music historian and personal coach and mentor. Since the sale of his business Lanning has pursed his passion for teaching, delivering courses in music and business and personal development both here and overseas. Men in Retirement has also become a subject of great interest over the last three years. As a recent ‘soft’ retiree, Lanning recognises that retirement can be daunting (and sometimes lonely) for many men and has become increasingly involved in working with fellow retired ‘blokes’ to help them build a truly fantastic retirement life style.
