While death is obvious loss, losses arising from downsizing, career dissatisfaction and disability to divorce, empty nest and lifeless retirement are often overlooked as significant loss involving grieving. Venting the mad, sad and bad is crucial but stagnating unless combined with a program to Reinvent NOW.

What makes my model work for the overwhelmed who have thought the agonizing WHAT NEXT QUESTION to death? It is the focus on strengths rather than problems and imagery and humor rather than logic. My playshops,are skill rich, interactive and invigorating yet benefit all levels of expertise. I believe if you can laugh you can learn and am dedicated to teaching user friendly strategies that work.If you're new to my blog you can check out my style in the other entries. Feel free to email me for participant feedback.

In the process of reinventing myself yet again with taking my playshops on the road, I am excited to be sharing the above with social workers at the Camden County Health Services Center, BlackwoodNew Jersey on 11/17.

The Catalyst: My husband closed his bookstore after 30 years. At the same time, my dear friend who recently became a widow said she would would give anything for 15 minutes with her late husband. Having put my business first for 25 years, I felt like I was hit by lightning. The value of making the time with my husband precious made me reinvent my career vision to include traveling with him while presenting national training programs for CEU''s. My new mantra is: "Have Program, Will Travel" in New Jersey and nationally.
