Gaining the confidence and skills to create a life you love.

There are many potential transitions in later life

  • Making a career change
  • Moving from employment to self-employment
  • Tapering off your working life
  • Entering retirement
  • Finding yourself alone
  • Adjusting to chronic illness

All of these transitions tend to push us towards having to create our lives going forward. This means facing challenges and uncertainties, while quite often lacking skills in initiating a self-created life.

This course offers you a chance to:

  • Explore ideas and opportunities
  • Feel supported in your exploration
  • Work with others in similar places in their lives
  • Learn to use practical frameworks you can use again and again
  • Identify skills you want to develop
  • Bring some predictability to your future

People who have done the course comment on:

  • Loving the conversations
  • Being affirmed – and surprised – by what they learn about themselves
  • Feeling better prepared for whatever is to come
  • Taking bold steps – or small steps – into the future and loving it
  • And one husband and wife who did the course together commented on having a clearer sense of partnership going forward into their shared future.

In this series of five weekly x 2 hour workshops, we use simple frameworks, including the Map of Meaning,® to help you clarify what’s important to you going forward in this new self-created life.

More detail on what is covered in each session can be found here.

These sessions will be followed by one 2 hour re-convening session with the group to find out how we are all going, swap ideas and experiences and cheer each other on.

The workshops are led by Lani Morris, Co-founder of Map of Meaning International, and a world authority on the Map of Meaning,® and Dave Burton, Leadership and Executive Coach. At times throughout the course we will be joined by special guest Occupational Psychologist, Christine Hamilton.

All three of us are living examples of working through transition.

Lani is a serial entrepreneur and still working in her late seventies, because she loves to. Dave has decades of experience of self-employment, working with people as they manage life changes. And Christine is exploring life after work, with all its challenges.
