Coffee & Career Circles are small facilitated groups of four (4) to six (6) adults who will meet to discuss topics and gain support and insight related to their journey from staying home to returning to work (other groups exist for career changers, those considering leaving the workforce and recent college grads – please call for more information). Typically, group members possess, at minimum, a bachelor's degree.
The process of returning to work can be overwhelming, especially for those who aren't sure about what they want to do; for those who do know, but don't know how to get there; or for who have been out of the workforce for a long period and feel 'out of the loop'. Experienced facilitators (who are both local moms and Career Coaches) will take group members through a self-assessment process, discover how to work through barriers, unlock ideas, and begin a process to finding a career that is in alignment with their talents, interests and personal life.
Groups will meet at local coffee shops for five (5) sessions, twice monthly, from 10:00 am to 11:15 am on Wednesday mornings. The next circle will begin on Wednesday, November 10-Wednesday, December 15 (no meeting on Nov 24th). Group location will be given once you are registered and will vary.
The fee is $30.00/group session. We strongly encourage you to attend all five (5) sessions to maintain group cohesion and get the most out of it for yourself. Aren't you worth the investment?
