Beginning in April 2010, I will pilot a Career Transition Coaching Group for individuals who are unemployed or underemployed and wish to create new action in their work lives.

We will cultivate a spirit of curiosity and improvisation as a way to generate new ideas and solutions to creating a fulfilling work life in a challenging economy.

The goals of the group are to:

• Create a supportive community in which members can acknowledge the emotions associated with job loss and be truthful about their experience.
• Provide each member with a laboratory in which to experiment with new ideas, brainstorm possibilities and create fresh thinking around what’s possible.
• Encourage members to challenge themselves and each other, to move beyond what’s comfortable in service of their growth and success.

Details:

• The group is open to 5 members.  The reduced cost for this pilot series is $125.
• The group runs from April 5 through May 17 and will meet over the phone, every other Monday from 7p – 8:30p Eastern.
• The pilot may continue beyond the four sessions if the members so desire.
• Each call will include a goal-setting exercise and a goals check-in to encourage members to create and follow through on action plans.
• Participants are required to call in promptly, commit to the time, participate fully and be ready to explore what’s next.
• Call topics will be as follows:

Session 1 (April 5):     Introduction: Meet the members and identify your goals.
Session 2 (April 19):  Completion:  Acknowledge and honor your past experience.
Session 3 (May 3):     Creation:  Open up to what’s emerging.
Session 4 (May 17):   Action: Set plans for moving forward.
