Are you not feeling entirely fulfilled in your career? Or are you happy in your career, but know layoffs are possible and you know it will be difficult to find a comparable job? Or are you just ready for a change?
You’re not alone. Many people crave more meaning in their lives. But how do you make that happen?
Next Act Retreat will help you:
- Find YOUR next act: create a life where you’re excited to wake up every morning and you can’t wait for the day ahead.
- Create a plan to actually make it happen!
Next Act Retreat is your roadmap to a future with purpose, passion, and joy. Many of us are at senior levels in our careers and have a lot more value to give before resting on our laurels. Don’t get me wrong: it’s great to have more free time, travel, go out to restaurants, etc., but after a while that gets old.
Next Act is a weekend retreat that will help you design your next act based on your specific skills, needs and passions. The expertly curated program will help you figure out how to make your next years the most fulfilling years of your life.
This weekend getaway will be held in a beautiful, light-filled space in Palm Springs, CA. It offers:
- Inspiration: Learn how other people like you have created their second acts, explore diverse creative avenues, and discover exciting new directions.
- Coaching and tools: The program will guide you through self-discovery exercises, and take you through a step-by-step process to develop your own second act.
- Meaningful connections: Connect with like-minded individuals on a similar journey. Share stories, gain inspiration, and forge new friendships.
