What Now?
Taking Small Steps After BIG Change


Fridays, May 29, June 5, and June 12
9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
In-person at Berkshire Community College

Are you on the other side of a big change and feeling adrift? A major life transition can be stressful and scary, but it’s also an opportunity to build a new life with intention and thoughtfulness.

In this three week workshop, Life Coach Janet Forest will lead you through exercises in self-reflection, group conversation, and goal setting, so you can start taking small action steps. Each session will provide accountability and support as participants practice self-honesty and open their hearts and minds to new possibilities they have never considered. At the end of the three weeks, each person will have a customized toolkit to create new habits and routines, so they can settle into their new life. 

This workshop is perfect for people who have recently retired or relocated and are feeling overwhelmed by the newness of it all.

Janet Forest is a Certified Professional Life Coach and an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner. She specializes in working with seasoned professionals who want to leverage their experience to find a career with meaning and impact and recent retirees who need support and accountability to settle into their next chapter. Janet is also the Director of the Dalton Free Public Library. She lives in Dalton, MA with her husband Andrew and her entitled Tibet Spaniel Dawa.
