Challenging Times &
Changing Lives
These are challenging
times. The excitement of the elections, a sinking economy, the emotional deflation of
inflation, and the command to action for environmental sustainability show
us we are really at a tipping point. Crumbling systems bring us to a
crisis of sustainability and everyday life is becoming more difficult.
How do you adapt meaningfully and sustainably to a world in flux?

Advocates for social and economic reform say
"be the change." But stressors are high with the challenges of career
changes and life transition. Many in the Northwest face difficulty in
finding meaningful work. Often, a conflict of values, lack of resources
for meaningful change, and deficits in the capacity for resilience,
result in a struggle for self support.
Some feel they need to
claim the life they were meant to live yet question what that is. Many
currently yearn to apply their skills toward helping midwife a world in
transition. They hear a call to sustainability and to altruism. Some have
heard it through motivational speakers, encouraging creation of dream
careers toward making the world work for all. They challenge us to align
our ultimate life purpose with our work in the world.
With a trend toward
personal transformation in the transitioning from an economy based on
consumption to an economy based on values, all of this can be confusing.
We seek a sense of place in our work, and can at the same time feel
aimless and helpless, especially when this inspiration makes it all seem
within our grasp, yet the reality of survival skills are needed.
Often speakers do not
outline methods to make them a reality. Moreover, many feel trapped in the
flux of a world where the economy has gone mad. Some feel lost on just how
to connect and actualize their passion or even wonder how to find it. And
there are those forced to transition to new careers, while others feel
blocked in adequately steering their careers, taking them to the next
level, or even making their meaningful work support them.
If you are seeking career
change or forced into it, lack the confidence to stretch yourself to new
heights, gather momentum to reach for your highest goals, want to leverage
your skills for a new world, or long for a community of support as you
stretch into a transforming world, then join us.
We will spend an afternoon exploring meaningful and sustainable ways to career transition. Bring your
past and present experience to share, your current quest, and any concern
or offering you have to share with others. We will intentionally gather,
network, share, and create ongoing support.
Learn how to find
emergent transformational objectives, best practices, navigate and free
confusion.
