Is it time for you to do more meaningful, fulfilling work?
Join this 2-day workshop and get inspired and empowered to move your career in a new direction!
Imagine how great you’ll feel when your career allows you to express your aliveness and authenticity.
Maybe you want to make a name for yourself in your current field, create an entrepreneurial adventure, or transition into a whole new arena.
Isn’t it time to get clear about what’s next in your work and life? This is the place to find the structure and support you need to confidently bring your unique self-expression into the world.
In this interactive, experiential workshop, you will:
- Illuminate what’s important in your future career
- Replace ill-fitting social norms about “work” with visions of what you truly desire
- Brainstorm ways to create meaningful work
- Move past blocks and beliefs that hold you back from doing more meaningful, uplifting work
- Get clear about your next steps to pursue work that truly fits you.
Hi! I’m Dr. Susan Bernstein. People tell me I’m a voice of calm in times of transition. I’d love to be that for you.

I teach high-achievers (like yourself) to attain clarity and confidence about the future. How? By helping you tap into your own rich inner wisdom.
I’d love to inspire you to do the work that matters most to you. And this event is a great place to do that.
So, if you’re thinking about attending, you might want to know a little bit about the person who’s developed this workshop and will be teaching it!
Before launching Work from Within, I spent two decades in management consulting, marketing, and executive development roles with large corporations, including Accenture and Intel. I figured I was doing the “right” thing, especially after earning my MBA at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. I was always getting good reviews from clients and managers for my strategy consulting work. But I never really loved it. I didn’t have a coach (or really anyone) to help me make the transitions. And some of the changes I made were really hard. I agonized over the thought of giving up a great salary in management consulting. I wondered if I’d ever work with such smart people again. (Both of those turned out to be silly worries).
I want to save you the time and frustration that I went through. Your career transition can be much easier by learning from my experience. Additionally, my PhD research investigated what it really takes to make a major career change. I’ll be sharing that research with you in the workshop, so you can learn what to do…and what not to do. You’ll be more likely to take the steps and actions that will make you successful. I’ve worked with over two thousand clients since 2001 (see my LinkedIn profile to see what they’ve said about working with me). I promise to bring you the best of what I’ve learned working with people who’ve made all kinds of changes — like an attorney who became an HR consultant, a non-profit manager who now helps promote products used by astronauts, and a PR executive who created a portfolio of work, including community theatre, voice-over work, and event planning (and she’s making more money, working fewer hours a week, and loving her life).
In case you’re really into credentials, I earned an MBA at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and a PhD in Somatic Psychology (that’s the science of the mind/body connection) at the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute. Feel free to read more about me on my profile page.

What will happen in this workshop?
You’re going get the best of what I offer my long-term private clients. You see, I work with clients who are standing at a career (and life) crossroads, trying to figure out, “what’s next?” (Just maybe like you?) Normally, I coach clients weekly for a minimum of three months, at least three times a month. But I know that some people don’t have the time or the money to do that. This workshop gives you the best of the perspectives and processes that I use with my clients to help them get clear about what’s next. You’ll discover more about yourself, you’ll learn in new ways that integrate mind and body, and you’ll open to new possibilities. We’ll be doing a blend of group and individual activities, and you’ll start having “aha’s” and insights that help you to see your life and career in new ways.
I care about making this workshop personally relevant for you, so I’ve planned lots of ways for you to get clear, rather than listening to a lecture. This is experiential! And, you’ll have fun. I’m known for being smart and sassy. I’ll even share my innovative research on making major career transitions. I promise to make it fun to understand, not boring like a PhD class (this is about personal growth after all, not torture!).
Most of all, I’m thrilled to help you learn to tap into you inner wisdom – in addition to your intellect – to empower your career transition from within. You really do have all the resources you need to make a very successful career change – and they’re right inside of you, waiting to be tapped. To me, the mind/body perspective and practices form one of the most exciting elements of the workshop.What you’ll be learning is not all heady. It’s very integrated, mind and body. That way, you can truly embody the changes you seek, not just think about them!

Why should I come to this workshop?
If you’ve been feeling stuck, lost, or confused about your future direction, this high-energy workshop will change how you view work, and will open you up to new possibilities. The information and energy of this event will create a powerful transformation in your life and livelihood.
Whether you’ve read all the books on career change, and you just need to feel inspired, or you want to get the real scoop on what it means to have a more authentic career, this event will get you in touch with what it really takes to make a career transformation. You’ll be with a group of other people who are committed to doing meaningful, important work, instead of just going through the motions. And you’ll be using proven perspectives and tools that I’ve used with my clients over the past nine years.
Get encouraged, educated, and inspired by the other people who’ll be attending. They’re people like you who care about their personal growth, who want to make a difference in the world, and won’t settle for so-so work anymore.

I want you to get the most out of this workshop!
So, to get the most out of this life-transforming workshop, you’ll have two fun activities to complete before the workshop, so that we get right to the heart of what matters. You’ll receive those activities in an email after you register. Don’t worry…it’s not hard, it’s not” homework” and no one will grade it!
I pack a ton of meaningful activities into this workshop. So by doing a bit of “pre-work,” you’ll save yourself time and get to the heart of what matters. The activities ask you to think about and jot down some of the things that are happening in your life, and ask you about some meaningful moments you’ve experienced. We promise, you can do it, and it shouldn’t take more than a few hours (and guess what…even if you don’t do it, the workshop will still be valuable for you)!
So, what are the logistics, the nitty-gritty details of where and when and all of that jazz?
