You’ve already had a full career and now you’re contemplating what could be next for an encore chapter. Sometimes, the best way to plan ahead is to, first, look back.
This interactive class is designed to walk you, step-by-step, through the process to find your WHY – your personal purpose, cause or belief. You will explore who you have been when at your natural best, throughout your life and career, so that you can design your next chapter on your own terms. You will work in a community of like-minded peers to help one another put into words the cause you care most about advancing and how you can use your life and career as a vehicle to do so. It takes a willingness to be open, to share personal stories and to trust the process. And through it all, we’re there to help.

A spark is something quite small and, by itself, not very powerful. But a spark has the ability to ignite. An idea is like a spark; alone it is just a set of words, but it too can ignite. A great idea can inspire others to dream bigger. Let us all work together to ignite something greater than ourselves.
Let us all be a Spark of Optimism.
