About this circle:
SHIFT: When life is rearranging itself
Our SHIFT Coaching Circle is a six-week learning and coaching experience for people who feel that shift happening and want to meet it with clarity, courage, and intention rather than rushing past it or pretending it isn’t there.
Each 90-minute session blends focused teaching with facilitated coaching conversation, helping you move from insight to alignment and from reflection to action; grounded in real life, not theory.
What This Work Is Really About
Midlife doesn’t ask us to start over. It asks us to listen differently.
SHIFT is anchored in three commitments that shape how we meet this season:
• Lead your whole self well — not just the productive or successful parts
• Tell yourself the truth — without drama or self-judgment
• Practice radical acceptance — so energy isn’t wasted resisting what’s real
Together, these commitments quiet the noise, clarify what matters, and create the conditions for wiser, more deliberate choices.
• You sense something in your life is shifting, even if you can’t yet name it
• The old ways no longer fit, and you’re curious about what’s emerging
• You want space for honest reflection and real conversation, not performance
• You’re ready to lead your whole self well, at work and at home
• You want to meet the second half of life with intention, imagination, and courage

The format: Here's how it unfolds
6 weekly live sessions for 6 consecutive weeks
- 90 minutes each
- First 20 minutes: grounded teaching drawn from SHIFT to introduce shared language and perspective
- Remaining time: open, facilitated dialogue focused on real-life application
- Explore what’s changing, what no longer fits, and what may be emerging
- Draw on the collective wisdom of the group through honest conversation
- Focus on meaning, resilience, and thoughtful next steps
- Light weekly reading from SHIFT and optional reflection between sessions
The Benefits
The Seven Mindset Shifts We Practice
Each week draws from one or more of the seven mindset shifts from SHIFT: 7 Mindsets for an Inspired Midlife:
Shift into Curiosity – releasing the need for certainty
Shift into Connection – remembering you’re not meant to do this alone
Shift into Response-Ability – pausing instead of reacting
Shift into Alignment – syncing with what truly matters now
Shift into Befriending Your Body – listening to what it’s telling you
Shift into Stillness – creating space to see clearly
Shift into Brave – cultivating the courage to choose what’s next
These aren’t hacks or self-improvement tactics. They’re practical ways of thinking and living that help people navigate change with steadiness.
What you'll walk away with
A clearer, more hopeful way to understand change as a season of possibility and some practical next steps.
- Language and frameworks to navigate emotional highs and lows with steadiness
- Practical tools for responding thoughtfully rather than reacting
- Greater clarity about what no longer fits and what’s emerging
- Renewed confidence in your ability to shape your next chapter with intention
References for this coaching circle
Each week, for 90 minutes on Zoom, you’ll be part of a small group of 6-10 people, all here to explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and support each other’s learning.
With both day and evening options, everyone has the space to contribute, reflect, and leave with practical takeaways that reshape how we approach work, relationships, and life’s bigger questions.
