Women's Leadership Journey

The Women's Leadership Journey
A Self Assessment Program for High Achieving Women at Mid Life

Midlife raises problems of the soul and spirit. The work must start there.

The Leadership Journey Program is designed for high achieving women at midlife or mid career who are anticipating a transition in their lives or work. Whether they are drawn to the change or forced into it, they are seeking insight or guidance along the way.

This life changing program is made with a personal guide or coach over 8 - 12 months. If you are curious about the program contact Donna Bennett for more information about this unique program.

If you have NEVER considered yourself a high achiever or a role model to others for your achievement, this program may not be the right one for you. The assumption behind this program is that you have already achieved confidence and leadership or success at what you do. This program deals with the steps beyond achievement. High achieving women may find the content of this self-assessment unusual. Most women achievers at midlife think if they can fix their career, or find other work issues then their issues will be solved. When they make a job change for a new challenge or to get away from a person or a situation, they are content for awhile, only to find the same problems or issues repeating themselves. Or the issues get more serious. They think work is the issue.

Much wisdom and research on midlife says just the opposite. That work, per se is not the major issue. Inner reflection is necessary to find out the underlying issues of distress. This is very different from earlier job or personal transitions in which job change or new challenges solved the problem. You may end up changing your work but for different reasons that you anticipated originally. More likely at this point in your life, something deeper or bolder is necessary, rather than business as usual. David Lloyd George, a statesman at the turn of the century said, "sometimes a bold move is indicated. You cannot cross a chasm in two jumps."

The basic issues of people over the age of 35 are at their base spiritual - questions of purpose, meaning, value, passon or calling.

As achievers you had to go against the grain in the culture and the organization in order to achieve what you have now. You had to be courageous enough to take a leap in order to get to the point you are now. You will have to do that again in this program. You will have to take another leap, to the understanding that at mid-life the transformation occurs inside you, not outside of you, like it has in the past.

You are not alone, nor are you crazy, although you might think so. You may envy women who look like they have their lives in order but many women cover their dissatisfaction well, especially high achievers. IF their lives really are "together" they have been working on it, doing things you can do too. The satisfying life begins with a process ---
