Focus On

For more than 15 years, I have been speaking, coaching, and writing about transitions. In addition to webinars about making the most of life and career transitions, I teach online classes on writing strategies for navigating transitions. Transitions, how we respond to significant changes in our lives, can be demanding, exciting, difficult, and filled with the potential for growth and creativity.

Changes come more rapidly than ever before, and often we have to manage several big changes at the same time. Each of us moves through transitions in our own way and our own timeline. We leave behind an old belief or situation to find our new path, helped by honest assessment of strengths and values, as well as by support from others. Writing or journaling about transitions can help us manage stress and gain powerful insights about what is really going on.

Recently I have been addressing the concerns older women in transition as they explore their authenticity and changes in personal relationships.
