Sign up Now – Our Third Group Begins September 17, 2009 Limited to Ten (10) Participants

We are pleased to present, once again, the workshop series specifically geared towards alumnae and students who are considering a significant career change.

More and more women are choosing to make significant changes in their careers. It takes courage and resilience to embark on this path, and there are many challenges. The goal of this group is to learn new ways of thinking about and working towards a career change while in the midst of colleagues faced with similar challenges.

The series is five weeks long. We ask that you make a commitment to attend every meeting so that we build a cohesive support group and work through the process together. Each meeting will build upon the prior one. At the end of the series, we will ask for your feedback for continuous improvement purposes.

Please Note: This is NOT a Job Search workshop. If you need to review concrete tools for conducting a job search, please consider the Job Seeker’s Network meetings. The next date for the start-up of Job Seeker’s meetings is Wednesday, September 9 at 6:00pm. Please RSVP to georgette.jover@simmons.edu with “JSN RSVP” in the subject line if you are attending.

Listed below are the proposed dates and topics. Please keep in mind that if you are interested in participating, you MUST sign up ahead of time and agree to attend all sessions. The group will be limited to TEN participants. A waiting list will be available. Based upon demand, another group will probably start up in the early summer. Get on the waiting list early.

TIME: 6:00pm – 7:30pm

DATES & TOPICS:

• Thursday, September 17, 2009 – Feeling Stuck: Where am I Going From Here?
• Thursday, October 1, 2009 – Reinventing My Career – Is it Possible?
• Thursday, October 15, 2009 – Guest Speaker (TBD)
• Thursday, October 29, 2009 – Experimenting with Possibilities
• Thursday, November 12, 2009 – Shifting Connections: The Challenges of Changing Direction
