Encore Careers: Creativity, Work and Meaning in the Wisdom
Years
So many of us in later middle age and beyond are not ready to
retire and live sedentary lives. We yearn for more structure in
our lives, for deeper connection to others and our community,
and for meaningful work. The economic downturn and increased
longevity have accelerated this trend.
In this new and
dynamic career (life visioning?) workshop, Allie Roth will lead
us in self-inquiry to help us look deeply at what hasn't lived
yet in our lives, what is calling us now, and the legacy we hope
to leave to others and the world. We will then explore
opportunities---paid and unpaid-that enable us to fulfill our
personal mission and discover new ways to put our wisdom, skills
and life experience to work.

Discovering Your Soul's Work
So
many of us go from job to job, from career to career and never
really find the satisfaction we're looking for. We fail to
listen to that voice inside that knows what we are meant to do.
In this workshop, we will start with the assumption that we all
have special gifts that we need to express in this world. When
we deny these talents we destroy our spirit. When we honor the
wisdom of our inner voice, we will know our own answers. What
makes me feel most alive and joyful? How can I make a
difference and feel that my work is part of some greater plan
or purpose? In this workshop, through the use of journaling,
guided imagery, experiential exercises and discussion we will
tap our inner being and explore our vocation or calling. We
will then look at the practicality of how this translates into
the real world of work.

Career Options in Changing Times
We live in an age of uncertainty, fluctuating between fear and hope. What
will happen to our careers and jobs? How can we find opportunities in
adversity? What are the best current career choices? How can we reconcile
our desire to do creative and meaningful work with the realities of today’s
job market? This evening, Allie Roth, career coach and long-time career
coach
and consultant, offers us a lively talk and discussion about current employment
data and her personal observations of growth opportunities. We will look at
“green” jobs, careers in alternative healing, teaching and counseling,
entrepreneurship, the non-profit realm, and more. Above all, we will focus
on how we can take our strengths, backgrounds and deeper values and transfer
them to new, viable careers now and in the future job market.
