Group Coaching
Purpose-Driven Sisters Committed to Growth & Success in their Next Chapter
The Refire, Don’t Retire Group Coaching is an exclusive and intimate community of sisters working together to create their exit strategy and plan from the work force so that they could step into their next chapter with clarity, courage and confidence.
Oh my friend, I can’t tell you how excited I am that you’re here.
I joined my first group coaching program in 2005 back before I could really afford to join it, because I was feeling empty, lost and bored, my next chapter was in decline, and I KNEW I needed to surround myself with like-minded people who could guide me, support me and inspire me with their wisdom.
Honestly, I wanted friends who truly understood me, and who understood the unique pressures and stress that came from unstructured time, lack of focus and purpose.
I went from sitting on the couch feeling sorry for myself to – I am on fire, and I absolutely, 100% believe it was because of the group coaching program I joined. Not because I learned all sorts of new things.
I’d taken the courses. I’d done most the tactics. I knew the basic strategies.
But because I had people to support me when I was struggling, keep me moving forward when I was stuck, and remind me of who I really was and what I was capable of when my confidence was low.
Yes, we talk strategy, but a group coaching program is more about connection & guidance than content. It’s about being able to tap into the hard-earned experience of others around us.
They are my dearest friends, and a few of them have become my very best of friends, closer than family in some cases.
We ask each other the hard questions. We challenge each other. We have friendly competitions.
And what I’ve learned is that not only do you need to know the strategy and tools of how to make your next chapter the best of your life, but you need people around you to support you and celebrate you along the journey.
We genuinely care and want to see each other grow. We have complete trust and safety to let our guards down and honestly share the real, raw, difficult parts of our lives.
We need people who know us to be mirrors for us when we’re so close to everything that we can’t see the obvious problem or opportunity that’s right there in front of us.
Just one comment from one of the group members led me to my true purpose. And it only gets better month after month as we get to know each other and our desires more intimately.
This is what I want for you.
I want you to be surrounded by like-minded sisters who can help you plan your exit strategy for what’s next.
Sisters who inspire you, encourage you, and genuinely care about seeing you grow.
Sisters who know that there’s as much to be gained from giving as from getting.
Sisters who want to make a difference AND impact, who want to bring a brighter future to their next chapter, and who live an authentic life at the highest level of integrity. Who want to step into their next chapter with clarity, confidence, and courage.
I want you to feel like you’ve found YOUR SISTERS and belong for the very first time, and that you’ve got the support you need to put the strategies you already know into practice and go deep.
I want to show you how to refire and reinvent yourself so that you could actually enjoy your freedom, harness your strength, creativity and craft a fulfilling and meaningful next 20 plus years. Research shows that we could live another 20 or more years after leaving the work force.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
- You’re tired of taking online courses that never result in any real changes in your life.
- You’re ready to get out of “stuck mode” and take action to create your desired reality.
- You have big dreams but need more structure, guidance, and accountability to bring them to life.
- You know that mindset is the key to success – but you still sometimes find it challenging to stay positive, motivated, and focused on your goals.
- You want to achieve meaningful transformation in your life in the next 6 months.
- You’re excited to join a thriving community of positive, like-minded sisters who are excited to create a better future.
- You are willing to be vulnerable and ask for help instead of feeling the need to always appear strong.
- You are always learning, and find it easy to learn from anyone.
- You deeply love people (even those that are different from you), dream big, and want to make a difference in the world.
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU IF:
- You play the wallflower. You will only get value if you enter in and engage with the community.
- You “know it all already”, or you don’t listen to others (or really hear and consider what they say).
- You just want someone to tell you what to do and aren’t willing to think for yourself or take ownership of your growth.
The Details
We will focus on personal growth, with a variety of activities to help you create the life you are dreaming of and truly help you connect with each other to support each other along the way.
You’ll have several opportunities during the six months to ask the entire group for feedback on a specific area of your life in the form of a “hot seat” during our meetings.
You’ll also have the chance to share your expertise and learn from others as they share from their own expertise and experience.
