These are challenging times. The excitement of the elections, the emotional deflation of inflation, and the command to action for environmental sustainability show us we are really at a tipping point. Advocates for social and economic reform say "be the change." But stressors are high with the challenges of career changes and life transition. Many in the Northwest face difficulty in finding meaningful work. Often, a conflict of values, lack of resources for meaningful change, and deficits in the capacity for resilience, result in a struggle for self support. Some feel they need to claim the life they were meant to live yet question what that is. Many currently yearn to apply their skills toward helping midwife a world in transition. They hear a call to sustainability and to altruism. Some have heard it through motivational speakers, encouraging creation of dream careers toward making the world work for all. They challenge us to align our ultimate life purpose with our work in the world. With a trend toward personal transformation in the transitioning from an economy based on consumption to an economy based on values, all of this can be confusing. We seek a sense of place in our work, and can at the same time feel aimless and helpless, especially when this inspiration makes it all seem within our grasp, yet the reality of survival skills are needed. Often speakers do not outline methods to make them a reality. Moreover, many feel trapped in the flux of a world where the economy has gone mad. Some feel lost on just how to connect and actualize their passion or even wonder how to find it. And there are those forced to transition to new careers, while others feel blocked in adequately steering their careers, taking them to the next level, or even making their meaningful work support them.
If you are seeking career change or
forced into it, lack the confidence to stretch yourself to new
heights, gather momentum to reach for your highest goals, want to
leverage your skills for a new world, or long for a community of
support as you stretch into a transforming world, then join us. |
