The Next Phase (Live-Online)

This program is designed to help you gain clarity about your "next phase". Through provocative and creative activities, small group discussions and story-telling with partners, you'll consider your interests and challenges in the present, the sparks of light that moved you in the past, and your wants and desires for the future. With new insight, clarity and confidence, you will develop a vision and a plan that supports your chosen path.

A Powerful Program for Turbulent Times

Moving through significant shifts in life affords a rare opportunity: to consider new options, to take stock of accomplishments, and to develop an exciting future. However, as with all transitions, this is often a time fraught with uncertainty, reluctance to let go of the familiar, and questioning of what comes next. Participants will look at their life histories, and then individually and collectively look at values, wishes, and desires for the next step in their lives.

Participants will learn to envision a broader range of possibilities, and to examine the advantages and drawbacks of having a wide variety of choices. This will provide an opportunity to look at individual styles of dealing with change, paying attention to support mechanisms and obstacles to success, and how to stay in dialogue with others during the journey through transition.

The workshop will include individual and small group exercises, as well as whole group presentation and discussion. Not only will the focus be on the work within the program, but attention will be paid to how participants can support the process of transitioning successfully in the future as they leave the workshop and re-enter life. Included with the program is a one-on-one, hour long, coaching session for participants to check-in with faculty upon program completion and further discuss their transition.
