Want to Combine Purpose, Passion and a Paycheck?
The Two-Week Program Begins ONLINE, October 19th
LIVE Sessions: Oct. 22, 29, 2010, 12:00-1:15.PM EST
On October 22nd, I will be part of a Live Interactive Webcast Panel and groundbreaking Encore Careers Program on The New York Times Knowledge Network (October 19-November 2, 2010).
The two-week course, designed by social entrepreneur and author Marc Freedman and Civic Ventures, is an exciting opportunity for those of us who want to combine purpose, passion and a paycheck in second adulthood.
Many women tell me the chapter of FIFTY IS THE NEW FIFTY they re-visit again and again is “Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes.” That chapter is about the big and small steps we can generate to bring new elements into the mix of our lives.
For many of us change may include leaving a job and picturing a new job. Work is often at the center of the question we ask ourselves in second adulthood: What’s Next?
The Encore Careers Program (click here for more information and to register) is an innovative approach to crafting a new career – in health care, education, nonprofits, the environment, government or your entrepreneurial idea.
Marci Alboher, author of “One Person/Multiple Careers,” VP of Civic Ventures, and former NYT Shifting Careers columnist and blogger and I will be on a special 30-minute edition of “Feisty Side of Fifty Radio,” hosted by Eileen Williams on October 7th (10:00 a.m.) to preview the topics that will be part of the two-week course.
Join us for a lively conversation. Inspire, support and help you jump start your Encore Career.
