6 Steps for an Easier Transition

Someone called the other day, obviously in great distress. He asked me to tell him exactly what I did and how I worked. Because each client is in a very different place when they call, I cannot say that I always do this, this, & this.

Because each client is in a very different place when they call, I cannot say that I always do this, this, & this. Is your company merging because you are buying another firm? Pragmatic steps of creating a new culture are followed by what will you insource, outsource? Who fits the new culture and can remain? Who do you want to become as the new leader of a business 2-3 times the size of your old organization? How do you want to be seen?

You are preparing for retirement and want to define the plans for your next stage of life. Full retirement? Opening a newer, smaller, business? Travel? Volunteering? Defining your purpose? Finally, how do you want to live this stage?

Divorce? Dealing with a job change and all the personalities/power struggles, etc.? Expanding streams of income? It’s a very different process. How do you want to enter that brand new world? What parts of you do you want to rediscover? Release? Solidify? Expand? Each client confronts, runs, avoids, and deals in their own unique way.

2. What would you say is instigating this change – be honest with yourself – many aren’t initially……..
3. Why did it occur?

On one hand, it is clear and almost simple. You were there, now you’re here. Two steps. However, in my experience it requires time, an extensive willingness to stop, reevaluate, and get a clear picture of the stories that can defeat you before you start, and then knowing exactly what you want next, and why.? The why is the truly powerful motivator and joy.

Every transition opens you to infinite possibilities, growth, change, joy, adventure, letting go, and fears. What do you choose to focus on and why?

Women In Transition Program

Are you a woman at a place in your life where you are ready to pursue your passion and increase your joy? ?

Join me and a small group of women who are ready to step into the next stage of their journey.?

No matter your age, position, or dream, transition is a time of excitement, fear, stepping into the unknown, the resultant confusion, and the need for risk taking.

It is also a time for letting go, dreaming bigger than ever, and realizing that your next step in personal and/or professional growth is at your doorstep.?

In a small group setting you begin to see how “normal” your shifts and fears are and how, energetically, everything in you is already saying it’s time.

Learn more about the program here.

We'd love to have you join us!?

With practical advice, emotional, and spiritual support and a whole new perspective on where your life can go – anything is possible.?

The group meets every other Thursday from 8:00 - 9:30am.
