Thrive Through Change in Your Life and/or Work
A Confident Change Workshop for Women Leaders
Are you in the midst of a significant change in your life and/or work?
Do you feel like you're at a crossroads facing important new decisions about possible new directions?
Changing crossroads can be difficult for everyone. They often create a bunch of challenging thoughts and emotions:
-
Uncertainty – how do you make the best decision for you, particularly when you are more sure of what you DON’T want than what you DO want?
-
Fear – who will I become after I make this change and what will people who are important to me think and feel about me?
-
Shame – why does this feel so challenging to figure out – I am a smart, competent woman?
-
Discouragement – why are the things I am trying and thinking not moving me forward?
Lonely – am I the only one caught in this challenge?
What's keeping you from making change?
If it is true that change is the only constant in our lives, it would be helpful to have the skills and confidence to navigate change with greater agency to create what is best for you.
Change is scary, and if you are considering a redirection in your career and/or life, taking the first step can create feelings of confusion, vulnerability, stress, and fear. When what has worked so well for you is no longer driving the same results or feelings of success, you are prompted, even sometimes coerced by circumstances, to find new directions and new ways of being. Moving toward and through change can be paralyzing unless you have conscious confidence and skills to make choices that create meaningful outcomes for you.

“As a participant …, I was able to explore the milestones and decision points in my career that led me to the present. With Mary Jaench’s expert multimodal guidance, my key triggers and motivators became clear so that I might take the next steps to enrich myself and focus on my next professional initiative. I highly recommend the course and the facilitator.“

I chose to retire from a tenured full professorship at a large research university. This decision shocked most people, many of whom asked me what I was going to do next. For the first year or so, I told them that I was “researching my next career.” The luxury of endless possibility had begun to feel like a burden when I connected with Mary Jaensch. She guided me through a systematic process that revealed a number of career alternatives tailored to my personal, professional, and societal goals. After three months of focused work with Mary, I narrowed the list to three excellent options. Six months later, I am fully engaged in market development in one of those fields.
I found the process insightful and fun. The process and exercises were helpful in that they focused me on my specific skills and the importance of these skills to me mentally and emotionally. I feel that I am interviewing different than in the past, because I feel much more confident and appreciate doing “purposeful” networking.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
