Is it finally time for you to do work that truly fits for you?

Do you trust, deep in your heart, that there’s a livelihood that’s right for you?

Are you hungry to express your true self in your career?

You deserve to find your new direction in a way that keeps you true to yourself and what you care about.

If you’ve gotten fed up with doing work that’s a mismatch with who you are, perhaps you’re wondering “what’s next in my career?” If you’ve been trying to figure out your future in your head, that strategy is prone to leave you feeling angry, stuck, and frustrated.

It’s time for the change you want.

It’s time to create a R.O.L.E. that truly fits for you.

If you’re at a career crossroads, wondering, “what’s next?” what’s the problem with looking for a job? Well, looking for a job focuses all your energy and attention outside yourself. Instead, you can create that truly fits for you, personally, by seeking to maximize your R.O.L.E., your Return on Life Energy. In other words, you’ll create the ideal life and livelihood, that’s uniquely for you, that maximizes your energy gains, and minimzes your energy drains. This 7 week webinar gives you the perspectives and practices to help you craft work that truly fits for you.

Your leader for this 7-week series is Dr. Susan Bernstein, an expert in career and life transformation. She bring MBA sensibilities and business sensitivity gained over 15 years in corporate jobs at companies including Intel and Accenture with a PhD in somatic psychology, and a deep understanding of how to tap into the mind-body connection to create calm, clarity, and confidence. She has motivated and empowered career changers as a speaker and workshop leader at prestigious institutions including UC Berkeley, Stanford, and the Esalen Institute.

Now, you have the opportunity to transform your career and your life in just 7 short weeks, starting Wednesday, April 7, 2010, and running through May 19, 2010.

With the Create a R.O.L.E. That Truly Fits for You webinar program lead by Dr. Susan Bernstein, you will receive expert support so that you can…

• Feel calmer about your career transition (Stop tossing and turning at night, wondering about what your next job is)
• Reduce your stress about what’s next
• Get clarity about your direction and next steps
• Build the internal confidence to pursue work that truly fits for you (Start listening to yourself and trusting your instincts and impulses more)
• Get the perspectives and practices that will help you to make changes now (so you don’t have to put them off and kick yourself later)
• Move away from work that no longer suits you and move towards work that really reflects who you

The Create a R.O.L.E. That Truly Fits for You 7-week webinar program is for you if…

• You crave more meaningful work
• You want to feel truly alive at work – you don’t want to “settle” or “go through the motions” at work
• You enjoy constantly growing and learning (so you gravitate to personal development classes)
• You are sensitive to your environment, not only the physical setting, but also the people you work with – you care about working in a place and with people who feel good to you
• You want to feel fulfilled, doing something that matters to you personally. It’s about more than just the money
• You know that money isn’t the only thing, but it is still important to you, and you want to make a good living
• You’ve already tried taking tests or assessments to tell you what to do, but those didn’t get you any clearer — and maybe they confused you more!
• You are ready, eager, and excited to do work that truly fits for you — now!

“Susan helped me when I’d hit a real crossroad in my professional life. Her creative approach helped me really get in touch with what I really want to be doing and map out a strategy to go for it. It’s been the best year of my life in so many ways and I credit Susan with helping me find it. I wasn’t sure I was going to like working with a life coach, especially since I find it had to talk about feelings, etc, but Susan’s approach brought me along and I actually ended up enjoying the process, and making a new friend. I highly recommend Susan.” - Carole Florman

This 7-week webinar series will help you find your next steps, so you can stop worrying and start working in a way that truly fits for you, whether you ultimately want to join a company, become a freelancer, or start your own business, or some of each of those.

What this 7-week program is NOT…

• It’s not a bunch of tests and assessments (those tell you what other people go off and do, but you want to do what’s right for you!)
• It’s not filled with advice about what to do with your life (you can get advice anywhere; this experience will help you pay attention to the true expert — you!)
• It’s not a one-size, fits all, cookie cutter answer to “what should you do with your life?” This teleclass series is designed to get you — yes YOU — in touch with what really matters to you, and gives you perspectives and processes to help you craft a livelihood and a life that fits for you.

“Susan’s approach to creating work that truly fits for you is awesome — she supported me look at my career and my life inside-out. After three successful startups (two of which I founded), I had no desire to start anything for a while. However, the corporate world did not look appealing at all. Susan helped me understand what my heart was saying. She helped decode the DNA code that makes me tick. I moved from being a startup entrepreneur to a hi-tech evangelist during the day, and an evangelist for non-profits in education, health and happiness during evenings & weekends. What more could I ask for?”  – Shankar Hemmady

What’s included in this seven-week program?

• Learning! Seven 60-minute webinar sessions (you can view the presentations on your PC or Mac, or even on some smart phones, like the iPhone – get details here: http://www.webex.com/mobile/), chock full of great perspectives, processes, and practices to help you get clear about what’s next.
• Staying on Track! How many times have you tried to get clear about a new career direction, but stopped short, not put in the time, gotten clear but not taken action? This time, you’ll have weekly activities and encouragement to keep you in motion, so you actually get going.
• Refreshers! Each session is audio recorded, and you’ll be able to download the MP3s of each session, so you can listen to them again and again. You’ll be able to use this any time in the future that you desire changes in your life or livelihood.
• Follow-Up! Activities for you to do between sessions. My goal is to help you get the most out of this rich seven- week experience. You can trust that the energy and heart you put into these activities, you’ll reap back as rich rewards for your time and effort.
• Encouragement! Making changes in our lives takes a lot of energy. Why try to generate all that energy on your own? You’ll get encouragement (to help you get going and get out of your own way) from Dr. Susan Bernstein, a recognized expert in life and career transitions. Her contagious enthusiasm, along with sound research-based advice, will help you get clear and get moving in your career and your life.
• Community! A members-only web board for sharing your aha’s, your realizations, and your insights…and a place to share your frustrations and requests so you can get support from me, Dr. Susan Bernstein, and your fellow group members.
• References! You’ll get all the handouts you need for each session, so that you have a complete system to help you make career changes now…and you’ll be able to refer to them in the future.

And, you’ll discover my “secret sauce” in gaining clarity and confidence about your future: Sense-Ability!

Sense-Ability is the skill of listening to, trusting, and acting on your innate instincts and impulses, in ways that align with what truly matters to you. It’s about tapping into your inner wisdom, so you know how you feel and make decisions and take actions that generally take you in the direction you want to head.

Your career change exploration will be so much more powerful when you tap into the power that comes from listening to your body, in addition to your mind. I’ll teach you proven processes for listening within yourself, so that you’ll arrive at next steps that help your mind, body, spirit, and emotions to feel great about your new direction.

Wondering what you’ll be covering if you join us? Take a look at our action-packed agenda…

Week 1: What does it take to have meaningful work, after all? Learn how to create a new vision of work, and harness the power to transform your life and livelihood. Focusing on maximizing your R.O.L.E., your Return on Life Energy. And, if you want a truly sensational life, discover the value of paying attention to your sensations for guidance – that’s what it means to develop “Sense-Ability”.  Your thoughts are great, but we need to avoid getting caught in beliefs that no longer serve us. Learning to pay attention to the messages from our body can help us stay true to ourselves.

Week 2: What are your true desires around work? I’ll share with you about the power of dreaming big, and the processes and practices to support you in doing that. The tools I have to share with you will help you to transform your work and your life. Find out how to prevent yourself from “settling” for work that drains your energy. Learn to use the power of your mind and body, together, to guide you away from work that no longer suits you, and into work that uplifts and energizes you.

Week 3: What does your life already tell you about the work you desire, and how can you use that information? Tap into what you already know, and use that information creatively to help you find your new direction. You’ll learn how to make sense of your drains, your gains, and your desires. But, more importantly, you’ll be introduced to practices to transform your desires into realities, so you move from ideas into action.

Week 4: What are some out-of-the-box possibilities for what your new work might look like? Discover a unique approach to crafting new career and life options for yourself, ones that truly ignite your energy. Many people get stuck in the idea stage. You’ll find new ways to build momentum and move ahead with excitement.

Week 5: What steps do you take to move into work that truly fits you? Taking what you’ve discovered about yourself in the first four weeks, you’ll clarify your direction and start taking steps that will lead you where you truly want to go.

Week 6:  How do you get beyond anything that’s holding you back? Most of us put up resistance to the very thing we truly desire, whether consciously or unconsciously. Despite all the excitement you will almost surely feel about your new direction, fears and anxieties are a normal part of the process. Learn how to do turn them to your advantage with some super-cool tools that will help you not only in your career, but your whole life.

Week 7:  How do you put it all together? Now that you have more clarity about where you’re going, how do you live this as a life approach? Learn to build Sense-Ability into all that you do, so that you can move and shift and change with whatever comes your way, all the while getting clearer about what matters to you.

What will happen in this 7-week program?

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?” (Maybe that’s just like you?) Normally, I coach clients weekly for a minimum of three months. But I know that some people don’t have the time or the funds 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. You’ll hear me share new perspectives on creating your career so it really fits you. You’ll also have activities to do between sessions, and you’ll have time to either talk about those activities during the weekly calls, or on our private web board, so that all the participants learn from each other. Because of the out-of-the-box approaches and activities  in this program, 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 program personally relevant for you, so I’ve planned lots of ways for you to get clear. From my experiences sharing these perspectives and processes with hundreds of people over the past nine years, I think you’ll truly 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 do my utmost 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, this is one of the most exciting elements of the program. It’s not all heady. It’s very integrated, mind and body.

Why should I participate in this program?

If you’ve been feeling stuck, lost, or confused about your future direction, this high-energy program 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 program 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, processes, and tools that I’ve used with my clients over the past nine years.

For some of you, you’ll find it truly helpful to have more than just me, Dr. Susan Bernstein, as your coach. You can be encouraged, educated, and inspired by the other people who’ll be participating in this program. 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.

How many participants will be on the calls? Is this going to be a mega-call each week? Can I get attention?

I really care about giving everyone attention, and keeping the size of the group manageable. So, the maximum size of this group is 24 people. If you want a space in the program, I encourage you to  sign up fast, as the spaces will disappear for this special experience.

I want you to get the most out of this program, right away, like as soon as you sign up! So, to get the most out of this life-transforming program, you’ll have two fun activities to start on before the program starts.  That way, we can 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!

So, what are the logistics, the nitty-gritty details of when and how and all of that jazz?

Dates: Wednesdays, April 7 through May 19, 2010

Time: All seven Wednesday night sessions are from 6-7 pm Pacific (9-10 pm Eastern)

Webinar details:A few days before the program starts, you’ll receive a detailed email with the dial-in telephone number and the web URL. You’ll need at least a telephone, and preferrably a computer as well.

Fees: I’ve done my best to make this ultra-affordable. The seven weeks of sessions, plus the ability to watch segments again, all the handouts, and the group support is priced at a tiny fraction of what it would cost you to do one-on-one coaching with me, which is a minimum of $1799. This is as low as I can go for a group experience of a size where I can give each of you some personal attention. this 7-week program is priced at just $669 No, I decided on $449 to make it even more affordable. That’s the early bird pricing (To be an early bird, and get more than a worm, you need to register before March 25, 2010, when the fee goes up to $549)

Wouldn’t you love a Special Bonus?!?

The first 5 (1 — the first four have been grabbed!) people to register will receive a special bonus worth over $225 – a free 50-minute coaching session with me. You can use this any time during the 7-week program, or for up to 3 weeks afterwards.  HURRY, because these free bonus sessions add a lot to the experience, and I can only promise them to 5 people (one more person)!
