You're making a living. You're even making a difference. But is it the difference you want to make? This workshop asks the hard questions that need to be asked about the work we settle for, about the difference we're actually making, and about the legacy we leave behind. Over the course of two sessions held one week apart, we will help you:
- articulate your personal vision in actionable terms
- get past superficial dissatisfaction so as to tap the power of your deepest desires for good work in the world
- manage the risks of mid career transitions
- develop a plan for resource development, with a focus on networking
- create a sustainable process for continued reflection, inspiration, and change
Life is a mix of slow evolution and rapid change. This workshop is right for you if you're wondering if the former might just be a little too slow right now, if what was the right choice for you years ago has become perhaps a stepping stone, if long ago you made a commitment to doing good work, but now want to take a larger turn towards your life's work.
Michael's qualifications represent a confluence of many rivers of past experience: (1) seven years of counseling, training, and support group leadership, with a focus on meaningful work; (2) twenty five years of consulting on matters related to leadership and communication, in the context of civil society; (3) a history of service on over thirty boards of directors, both nonprofit and for-profit; and (4) a track record of successful startups and program development, with the occasional poignant failure.
Michael was the founder of GoodWorks, a nonprofit whose mission was the support of public interest work. He designed and taught the "Making a Living, Making a Difference" workshop. He organized and led support groups of people who were bridging the gaps between their work and their values. He designed and taught a unique series of seminars that were framed as time management workshops, but which focused on mindfulness and personal agency. He privately counseled scores of clients, at wide ranging stages of development, in personal and professional strategies for meaningful work. This has included young people who are embarking on a life of committed work; mid-career professionals making a radical jump to more meaningful work; artists, writers, and activist who are seeking greater sustainability; and experienced visionaries who are pushing themselves to new levels of integrity and creativity.
This seminar consists of two 90 minute sessions.
