Skills We Develop or Strengthen During Transition

Transition is a funny thing. It’s a constant in life and yet only when there are major changes – real or imaginary-taking place do we recognize it as transition.

As a kid, I could not wait for my age to hit two digits. I would officially be getting older, and WOW was that going to be grown up, exciting and freeing. As a junior in high school I couldn’t wait for my weight to hit three digits. All the girls had beautiful figures and I was a stick just waiting to fill out. I “knew” that hitting three digits would do it yet that seemed impossible no matter how many ice cream sundaes I saved up for and bought on Saturdays thinking “Today is the day!!!“ ?

Neither of those may apply any longer but the excitement of hitting new goals and transitioning to new levels remains, and I never want to lose it.

Today, in looking beyond the simple destinations such as age or weight, I have come to truly see the real gifts that are developed as we go through these transitions. Those gifts that are developed along the way, or even after we have transitioned and are living our next adventure, our next stage of life, or of our careers, and yet they can be the real gifts in this process of change.?

The Real Gifts of Transition

How many of you have taken a new job or moved to a new city with some fear and dread and later discovered this was an opportunity of a lifetime that caused you to meet your life-mate, to find a job or organization that fits you so much better than where you left?

Or caused you to discover interests you never knew you had and that allowed you to flourish in ways you never would have dreamed possible??

How many have dreaded the “empty nest” while also looking forward to the simplicity after the kids were gone? A transition wanted and yet not…

How many of you have then discovered you can pursue interests, travel, and skills you have always wanted on some level yet never had “permission” or the courage to pursue??

Unexpected Opportunities Through Change

Sometimes, as we work within one organization, over the years we develop work patterns, styles of relationships, and an approach to business that we outgrow or don’t like anymore. Yet, we don’t have the energy or strength to change.

By moving to another organization, you truly have the opportunity to begin anew.

You have the chance to define or redefine who you want to be in this new job.

How do you want to approach it… Is it still a burden for you to carry as previously or can it become a chance to lead with purpose, passion, and power??

The Role of Support in Transitions

Can you bring in a coach or confidante to support you in growing and going further? Recognize you can survive transitions and collapse in gratitude when they are “finally over” or you can use them as opportunities to start fresh, to come alive, and to live as if this was your last year ever.?

I am calling you to look at the transitions you choose to make daily, to be less argumentative, less frightened, less inclined to rush through life and to be more inclined to follow your dreams. Some transitions are just fun and absolutely liberating. I pray those transitions become your norm.

Call me, the Transition Guru, when you are ready to truly live a life of endless movement forward with greater and greater freedom to become the you that you can most enjoy!???

Transition come in many forms. It can be the result of betrayal, disappointment, or to become more, taking us to our next level. The choice is ours.

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.

Contact me if you like to know more about the program.
