Embracing Your Next Act: A Career Transitions Workshop (East Bay Event) #1


$39.00
Monday, August 19th at 5:00 PM Pacific Time

 

In today’s world, a healthy and fulfilling life can include multiple career transitions and extend well beyond the traditional retirement age. Many women find opportunities to leave traditional paid employment even earlier, paving the way for new adventures and goals.

 

Research on sustainable careers is reframing the conversation about progress and achievement from income and promotions to happiness, health, and productivity. However, transitioning away from your established career can be a profound shift, impacting your identity and how others perceive you. As you look ahead to the next phase of your life, how do you envision yourself? What are your aspirations? How has your professional journey shaped your perspective on these questions?

 

Join us for an in-person, interactive workshop at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management campus in San Ramon, where you can step back, reflect, and explore your thoughts on “post-achievement” career shifts. Engage in meaningful dialogue with others who are navigating similar transitions, and prepare for your next act with clarity and confidence.
