Taking Charge of Change: Five Fundamental Truths for Mastering the Chaos of Life With Jim Hjort ’94

Time Wed 10/21 • 12PM PDT

@ Change is the only constant in life, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult, a career pivot you’re contemplating or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. However it shows up, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck, stifled, and afraid tomorrow. Yet, if you are inclined toward personal growth, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom, inner stability and even growth. In this session with Jim Hjort, an executive and career coach, personal development trainer and licensed psychotherapist, you’ll learn: • Why your inner critic and pessimist is actually a key part of your team • Why you may do all the “right” things, while feeling less and less satisfied with your life • How to look beneath the surface of your life story to identify what makes you feel truly alive—so you can have more of that • Communication skills to help you show up for yourself first, so you can show up whole and healthy for anyone else you want in your life • How to not just survive chaos and uncertainty, but embrace it as the essential journey of your life Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live
