WiM3 Presents: Harnessing the Power of Crisis to Create and Transform.

Description

We move through life, day by day, doing all of our regular activities.  Often living the same day or year, over and over again, both good and bad, until we are hit by a crisis, or series of crises, that knock those patterns and expectation to pieces.  We think of crisis as negative.  Something to be avoided.  Yet, the majority of reinvention and success stories are not a series of upward steps well-planned.  Instead, they have some crisis or failure that the person or business adapted to or overcame; which pushed them to re-define what they were willing to accept, who they wanted to be, and how they defined success. 

During this talk Lisa Schuller, certified professional coach, career strategist and midlife transformation specialist, will discuss the power of crises, why we wait for crises to create those successes and deeper appreciation, and how we can counter the forces holding us in place to purposefully break through and transform our work and lives into greater success, fulfillment and joy - without suffering the pain of an externally imposed crisis.

As the Founder of Verdantu Coaching (vur-dnt-U] Lisa leverages her prior career as a Human Resources leader and her decade of coaching experience to guide mid and late career professionals and small business owners through their own career transformation.  She has helped hundreds of people to create both large and small transformations at work and in life.  She believes strongly that since we spend ½ to 2/3 of our waking hours “making a living” we should and can use that time to create something we are proud of and which contributes to our personal goals of rather than need to survive. 

She has a passion for helping people believe that work life doesn’t have to “stall out” at 40 but can be the start of even greater success and fulfillment in their next stage.

Fun fact: Lisa is the proud mom to twin boys and two rescue dogs.
