Why should I enroll?
2020 and 2021 have been challenging years, and the data confirms that many women’s careers and leadership opportunities have been negatively impacted by the pandemic. Many women now find themselves at a crossroads deciding how to move forward.
Even in the best of times, it can be difficult to step out of the fray to give the time and attention your next steps deserve. Guided Career & Life Transitions helps you by providing a structure to dedicate an hour or two a week to building your future.
We know from research that women are less likely to invest in themselves. However, without the investment of focused attention and intention, it is nearly impossible to create the lives we hope to lead. This course provides a process to help you avoid stagnation, move through ambiguity, and take action.
Are you ready to make time for yourself?
Carpe Diem!
“Spring has passed. Summer has gone. Winter is here… and the song that I meant to sing remains unsung. For I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument.” - Rabindranath Tagore
Why now?
It’s easy to put off a decision to act, especially when considering upcoming transitions. We often place the demands of family, work, and friends in front of strategic planning time that can significantly impact our next steps.
But there is power in now. Power in taking the time to imagine what we want the next phase of our lives to look like. Power in questioning what we want to be doing, who we want to be impacting, and how we want to move through your days. Power in putting goals in place to create authentic paths forward.
If you are hungry to learn and eager to take action, we invite you to join us.
