New – Career Transitions Retreat
In this season of so much job-related change and uncertainty, many of us need space to work through what work looks like going forward, and sit with all the emotions this can generate.
Co-facilitator Marlee Carlos of JourneyUp Solutions and I have created a retreat which can flex as whole or half day, and (Christian) faith-based or secular. We have an initial date set, with details and registration link below, but will add more as we can/as requested. Sign up below to register, hear about future offerings or to request we bring this retreat to your community.
Feel free to share with friends & colleagues who may value a time like this.
