Tuesdays, January 20 - February 17 11 am to 1 pm

What if midlife isn’t a crossroads but a launch point?

As part of our new Encore Entrepreneurship initiative, we’re excited to host a guided book study of SHIFT: The 7 Mindsets of Midlife, a thoughtful exploration of how purpose, identity, and possibility evolve in the second half of life.

Led by Kirsten Farris, this conversation-centered series is designed for people who are feeling a nudge toward something more - whether that’s a new business idea, a portfolio career, or simply a more intentional next chapter.

This is not about rushing into “what’s next,” but about slowing down enough to listen, reflect, and realign - so whatever comes next is rooted in clarity and meaning.

Rather than focusing on what business to start, we focus on who you are becoming.

Part 1: Discovery- Explore and take stock of your Gifts, Talents and Passions.

Part 2: Curiosity – Become open to possibility without pressure to decide.

Part 3: Response‑Ability – Ways to Reclaim choice, agency, and direction.

Part 4: Connection – How to deepen relationships with self and others.

Part 5: Alignment – Understand and Honor what matters most to you.

Part 6: Courage – How to move forward without needing certainty.
