THRIVING IN TRANSITION
Building and Sustaining Your Resilience
October Monthly Meeting
|
We have never lived this long and we are now entering a time zone of radical transition, navigating the journey of a full, well-lived life. What are the factors in thriving in transition? What does scientific research tell us about the role resilience plays in the process? In this highly interactive and practical session, Michael Pearn, Co-founder of The Resilient Aging Lab, will suggest resources for Re-Imagining Aging.
"Aging is inevitable;
Living well is a skill."
Michael will introduce resilience as something we can build, using the five Cs of
Resilience:
C
larity,
C
onfidence,
C
ontrol,
C
onncection and
C
ontentment.
When: October 15, 6:00 pm
Where: 50 California 10th Floor San Francisco (one block from the Embarcadero BART, reduced parking rates in Embarcadero Buildings)

After a long career as an organizational psychologist working with clients around the world, Michael Pearn co-founded The Resilient Aging Lab LLC with a mission to build confidence, tools, and connections for people in transition, especially as older adults.

FREE ONCE AGAIN
Envisioning
Your New Game of Life
November Monthly Meeting
|
"Play is the answer to how anything new comes about." Jean Piaget
What keeps you from living the retirement of your dreams? For women, it's often duty. We've worked so hard to be the responsible wife, mother, daughter, and colleague. We're experts on duty! Freedom to be ourselves? Not so much.
For our TTN November Monthly Meeting, join Janet Kodish, founder of My UnRetired Life, as she leads us through the F.R.E.E. Once Again Framework for creating the retirement of your dreams. You'll let your heart lead the way to envisioning a life that is playful, engaged, connected, and 100% you.
When: November 19, 6:00 pm
Where: 50 California 10th Floor San Francisco (one block from the Embarcadero BART, reduced parking rates in Embarcadero Buildings)
After retiring from U.C. Berkeley in 2012, Janet discovered her purpose as a certified Life and Retirement Coach. But first, she had to set herself free from a lifetime of duty to work and family responsibilities. Through small retreats and private coaching, Janet delights in helping women envision the life they've been waiting for, release old guilt that gets in the way, and play their new game of life.

Shining a Spotlight on Silver Hair
According to Massey, some women insist that most clients who decide to stop dyeing their hair will be back, gray heads in hands. Massey disagrees. "It's all in your perspective," she said. "It's about body image and 'owning it.'" To read the full review click
