Are You Thinking About Your Next Chapter?
Dear Friends,
In April, I doubled up on my weekly mentoring calls. It was delightful to reconnect with so many of you and learn what’s going on in your lives.
I also noticed a powerful pattern.
Almost every conversation went something like this:
"I’m struggling with _______________ and I want to talk about the best way to figure out my next chapter."
The struggles included:
- my next career move
- my last career move before retiring
- my exit strategy
- my legacy project
- my new venture
- my new reality navigating the current meltdown of my employer/market/industry
- my sense of purpose
- my current life transition (menopause, empty nest, etc…)
- my shifting sense of what I care about and find meaningful
And once we dug in a bit, there were some common deeper questions:
- Who am I now?
- What do I want next?
- What is my WHY?
- And how do I move forward with clarity and purpose?
While each conversation was unique, I found myself describing a similar process over and over again. And the more I repeated myself, the more I began to wonder how many former Joy Collective members and Annual Clarity Retreat participants are navigating change, considering new paths in this historic moment of uncertainty, managing life stage transitions and looking for a space to figure out their next chapter?
As you know, this is near and dear to my heart!
Remember when I sunset the Joy Collective so I could “cocoon” for an indefinite period of time? I was certain that I just needed a big block of time to figure out my next chapter. But even after clearing my calendar, one thing after another came up in my life and soaked up my time and energy. Pretty soon, months had gone by without me figuring anything out. It wasn’t until I made a commitment to learn with my favorite teacher and joined a group of thoughtful and insightful peers, that I truly started to figure out my next chapter.
That changed everything for me! And it reinforced the power of commitment, community and consistent conversations in times of change.
Join Me to Figure Out YOUR Next Chapter
I’m going to go out on a limb and make an offer because my intuition is telling me there are a number of people who want and need a space to figure out their next chapter right now.
Starting May 21st, I’m going to facilitate a 6-week guided experience for anyone who wants to join me. During the 6 weeks, you will:
- Reflect on the life you’ve lived so far
- Identify what’s no longer serving you
- Recover parts of you that have been sidelined
- Clarify what matters to you now
- Envision your future
- Connect with your inner-wisdom
- Create a pivot plan
But even more important than the process is making a commitment to self-inquiry and engaging openly with a community of other equally-committed people. If you spent any time in the Joy Collective, then you know it was a space where brilliant minds resolved soulful questions. I anticipate this pop-up community operating in a similar way.
To be clear, figuring out your next chapter isn’t about blowing up your life.
It’s about committing to becoming who you truly are — one insight, one shift, and one brave choice at a time.
How Will This Work?
If you want to participate, register by May 14th [registration has closed for this session].
Then starting May 21st, you will:
- Attend 1 LIVE session per week (facilitated by me)
- Engage between sessions in a private community for program participants
- Experience the freedom of releasing social media for 6 weeks
- Experiment with one 15-minute daily practice
Optionally, you can choose to:
- Join a small group for consistent conversation throughout the course
- Sign up for one of Kerry Ann’s 30-minute, 1-on-1 mentoring calls
- Access the live session recording if you miss a session
And just like all my courses:
- I’m not going to tell you everything we will do up front
- You have to trust me as a teacher and facilitator
- There are always some surprises designed to support your growth
So consider yourself officially invited! Registration Ends: May 14 [registration has closed for this session].
I look forward to working with whoever this opportunity speaks to!
Warmly,
Kerry Ann Rockquemore, PhD.
