- Life Happens. Now What? Life Transition Skills
-
Item Number: S24LIFE127
Dates: 5/6/2024 - 6/3/2024
Times: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Days: M
Sessions: 4

Room: Online (Zoom)
Instructor: Howard Jay Rubin
Most of us spend half our adult lives going through major life transitions—like retirement, marriage, loss of a loved one, divorce, inheritance, career change, empty nest, and big health challenges—yet we have never been trained in the vital skills needed to master (or even manage) these life passages. Change happens quickly, but major life transitions can take years. The transformation that results from working through them skillfully lasts a lifetime. This course explores how you have handled these significant “life-quakes” in the past, and how you can use them now and in the future as times of reimagining and reinvention. We will explore the four phases of major life transitions, both in the research and in your own experience. These challenging passages launch your life’s next chapter and hold great potential gifts of “post-traumatic growth” while allowing you to design your own ideal next chapter. Our emphasis will be on developing the creative skills to flow through major change.
NOTE: There is no class session on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27.

A solo ager is someone who might have no partner due to personal choice, death of a spouse, or a divorce. Solo agers may be childless, have an estranged family, or their family may live at a distance or be unwilling to participate. The demographics of this group are growing larger, and they have unique planning needs in all aspects of their lives. This seminar will explore how to create a cohesive plan including team members and all necessary documents. The two-session course will use PowerPoint and lectures to cover these important areas that impact a solo ager’s needs. The two presenters will be joined by a local estate-planning attorney in the second session. A list of articles and resources will be provided.
