Explore Your Future
Attend an interactive and exciting Explore Your Future workshop series hosted by a Coming of Age partner
Explore Your Future is a series of four facilitated workshops that help individuals 50 and forward envision the next phase of life including volunteer projects, lifelong learning and encore careers.
Session topics include "What Has Influenced Me?", "Who Am I Now?", and "How Can I Realize My Dreams?". All sessions include discussions, reflection time, and exercises to guide participants towards a greater understanding of the events, people, themes, and patterns that have shaped their lives and brought them the greatest fulfillment.
Through self-discovery and assessment, participants identify where they are in their lives, their talents, values, passions, strengths, and aspirations. This self-awareness will propel participants towards practical, creative methods of aligning their values, passions, and gifts towards purpose and potential. Participants walk away with an individually developed action plan based on specific, measurable, attainable, and timely goals; real and perceived challenges; and resources to help them reach their goals.

WE CAN HELP YOU DISCOVER, UNDERSTAND AND PLAN FOR THE NEXT STAGE OF YOUR LIFE! WHAT WILL YOU TAKE AWAY FROM PARTICIPATING IN EXPLORE YOUR FUTURE WORKSHOPS?
Who and what have influenced me? Participants reflect on the people and events that have most significantly influenced their lives.
Who am I Now? Through self-discovery and assessment, participants identify where they are in their lives and what talents they have. They explore values and motivators, passions and interests, individual gifts, strengths and aspirations.
Where do I want to be?- Once participants gain more self-awareness, they address practical ways to align their values, passions and gifts by learning creative techniques for generating life options, strategies to fuse passion, purpose and personal strengths, and ways to imagine potential.
How do I get there? - Participants develop individual action plans based on specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely (SMART) goals; real and perceived challenges; and resources to help them reach their goals.
