We live in remarkable times. Our life expectancy has increased by 15-25 years from just a few decades ago. We have a tremendous opportunity to live a vibrant, creative, and joyful new chapter.
But we have no roadmap.
As Dan Pink puts it: "In America alone, one hundred boomers turn 60 every 13 seconds. We are reckoning with our mortality and asking deep questions about... significance and what we truly want. There is a thunderstorm of purpose the likes of which the world has never seen."
While no one can give us a roadmap, each of us has an inner guidance system, a kind of GPS, that can guide us to our unique vision for this stage of life.
VisionWork offers services and programs designed to help you connect with your inner GPS and discover your inner roadmap. Our services address the unique needs and aspirations of people who seek a more fulfilling and joyful second half of life. We offer individual coaching and classes/groups.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING
Repurposing, Midlife and Beyond
As a self-employed professional - coach, therapist, consultant, spiritual director, healer -- you love what you do and don’t want to stop. Traditional retirement doesn’t appeal to you. You sense you have a new, even richer contribution to bring to others—one that leverages your life wisdom, deepens your personal and spiritual growth, and makes a lasting positive impact.
But you find yourself resisting this new season of life. Midlife, turning 50 or 60, has brought up the “aging” issue. Changes like reduced vitality, caring for aging parents, or dealing with the death of a friend or spouse can be catalysts for new questions. Who am I now? What do I really want?
You are not alone.
Many of us reaching our 50s and 60s are reshaping how we look at the next phase of our life. The Repurposing Program is designed to help you reimagine (and live!) this new chapter of life as your best years yet.
What Will We Do?
Drawing on the principles of conscious aging, happiness research, insights from the evolving landscape of retirement, and spiritual wisdom teachings, you will:
- Uncover and transform debilitating beliefs, attitudes, and fears about aging that do not serve you.
- Explore a profoundly empowering new approach to growing older—conscious aging—that will unlock greater peace, wisdom, and fulfillment.
- Connect with your inner GPS and discover what matters most to you, now.
- Tap into the power of your true purpose and your path to greater joy.
- Reinvent your business or encore career to make your unique, needed, and valuable contribution to the world.
- Reconnect with—or perhaps recognize for the first time—your inner or spiritual self, the source of your vision, healing, passion, and energy.
- Develop practices that cultivate vitality, creativity, and joy as you age.
- Experience a significant shift to new optimism about this stage of your life.
Whether you are envisioning a legacy business, imagining an encore career, designing your retirement, or seeking your true calling at this stage of life, you will take your deepest desires and begin living your new vision.
How the Process Works
As your coach, Barbara will serve as your partner, providing compassionate listening, skillful guidance, reflective activities, resources, tools, and empowering support.
Repurposing coaching is available via Zoom or telephone on a one-to-one basis, with the frequency of sessions determined after a complimentary discovery session. Most clients choose to meet every two weeks or once a month. You will be guided step-by-step at your optimal pace, making changes that will lead to greater happiness and your path of authentic service in the world.
The Repurposing program can be completed in as little as 90 days. However, most clients work with us for six months or longer as they design and transition into their new life.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, contact me to schedule an initial consultation. We’ll design a coaching package specific to you and our first step is a complimentary session to explore working together.
Investment: $150 per session, up to 55 minutes. (15 % discount for six month package)
Monthly retainer for six month program includes customized modules to guide reflection and action, as well as assessments that provide feedback on your natural gifts and passions and pinpoint what could hold you back.
If you want and need this service but cannot afford it, contact us and ask about our sliding scale option. We care deeply about all people living a transformative second half of life, regardless of economic situation, and offer partial scholarships for passionate seekers.
