What Should I Do with My Life? breakfast workshops

For upcoming workshop dates, see the registration page.

• Do you anticipate potential lay-offs, down-sizing or out-sourcing in your workplace and want to give yourself an edge?

• Are you comfortable with your work, but sense it’s time to head in a new direction or fine-tune the path you’re already on?

• Are you just starting out (beginning or finishing school or entering the job market) and want to make certain you’re putting yourself on the right track?

• Did you long ago sacrifice your best life to compelling, yet inconsequential, dreams with little connection to who you are?

• Have you made big contributions, done important work, but aren’t sure it’s your purpose on this earth?

• Have you thought about taking a sabbatical (or looking ahead to “retirement”) and could benefit from reconnecting with a long-forgotten dream?

• Are you having problems choosing among the many interesting things you’d like to do?

• Do you sense something bigger is waiting for you—if only you were brave enough to go  looking?

We all have an unique mission in the work world that no one else can fulfill. Yet, if you’re like most, you probably have lost touch with what that is.

So, how do you rediscover it?

Oftentimes all you'll hear is a whisper—and that’s where we begin. Through real-life stories and exercises approached in groups, one-on-one and alone, you’ll explore questions such as:

• What do I need to know to have an advantage in today’s job market?
• What’s the difference between a job, a career and a calling—and why does it matter?
• How will I know if I’m headed in the right direction?
• What if others in my life have different ideas about the direction my work should take?
• What if I have conflicting ideas about what to do—or too many interests?
• Would it hurt to make money first and then pursue what I’m more interested in?
• What if nothing seems interesting?
• What if my interests are impractical or unrealistic?

By the time you complete this workshop, you will know how to identify your best work--and how to make it happen.

Workshop includes:

• Two 4-hour Saturday-morning sessions
• Coffee/ tea with bagels & breakfast rolls 
• Personalized attention in small groups 
• Take-home exercises & reading
• Annotated resource lists
• A third free follow-up session
