Course overview
Lean in to what you really want. Declare what you're done with. Now craft a map.
If you feel in the wilderness of a big “what now?” you’re not alone. At 50+ we’re being called to rewrite the trajectory of our lives. Gone are the days of going invisible, going grey, and going away. In our bones we know we’re so not done! … but we may not want to continue what we’ve been doing or the way we’ve been doing it. Grounded in research, the first half of this workshop guides you to identify what you’re done with and how to let it go. The second half of the workshop gives you research-based steps to identify the work, relationships, physical health, and inner life you want. Through lessons, homework, partner discussions and creative play, you will create and present your Next Now Plan/Scenario.

Sue Brightman. Author on Women Over 50, Leadership Coach, Global Conscious Business Consultant.
- Sue Brightman is here to help women respond to their highest calling in the world. Blasting out of the water worn-out narratives about women over 50 and supporting the new emerging century of women's leadership, Sue's research, writing, and services are aimed at shifting the balance of humanity's direction through affirmation and support of women. With 30 years as a Conscious Business consultant and organizational change expert to company giants such as Shell, General Motors, Huffington Post, Pulitzer Newspapers and giants in the tech, healthcare, and services industries, Sue pivoted her work to focus on the breakthrough new tracks being laid down by women. After interviewing 100 women in Adulthood II and identifying key themes at this stage, Sue wrote an Amazon best-selling book "A Call to Further Becoming: The New Declaration from Women Over 50." Given the evolutionary shift to which it points, she provides affirmation, information, and encouragement for women over 50 and emerging women who feel the tremendous promise in challenging worklife transitions. Sue offers workshops, group and one-on-one retreats, and is a coach to women of all ages who are being called to expand, express, and lead in new ways.
