Keynote 45-90 min

Highlights
Transition can emerge from a disruptive event or positive life change such as a birth of a child, an empty nest, a job loss or a divorce. It can also come from a restless awareness that it is time for a change and be an inspired and committed decision to move in a different direction. Would it surprise you that >90% of women in our recent survey expect to transition within the next five years.

Key Learnings:
1. Learn about the common misperceptions that surround transitions and the impact these can have on our choices;

2. Learn new vocabulary and a framework to help you reframe transition in your own life; and

3. Leave with two techniques for successfully navigating all manner to major changes you encounter that you can deploy immediately.

Keynote 45-90 min

Highlights
Pivots are invitations to explore more and more of our potential. Too few of us use this point-of-view to interpret the disruptions that occur in the normal course of our lives.

Key Learnings:
1. The difference among frequently used words including change, transition pivot and possibility;

2. A framework for decision making related to personal and career advancement; and

3. Two tools for executing successful pivots; building a personal narrative and succeeding in the presence of barriers.

I couldn’t go to sleep tonight without telling you how grateful I am to you for your work with us today. You were brilliant, simply brilliant. I could not have hoped for a better integration of all that we discussed. Many people mentioned how much they were intrigued by what felt like a tiny sip from a deep well of inspiration. It was a great gift to us and to me personally that you took the time and care to plan and to present such a wonderful program for us.
