Hi to everyone who was just at the webinar! I noticed a question that I didn't get to answer about my own transition and how I made my way from being an academic political scientist to setting up my business as a leadership coach/consultant.…

Oh what an excellent post! I'm just starting to very slightly get a grip on this idea - mainly under pressure from the idea that I'm heading to Australia for a year to spend time with my husband's family, and whatever hapless…

Deborah Siegel commented on the blog post 'Clearing the Shelves'
Thank you, Shari, for such a thoughtful post. As a sidenote, as Cris' comment here reminds me, one person's discarded books (qua sense of self) are another's treasure, and trigger for reinvention. How cool would it be to establish a…

Interesting. I clean out my bookshelves once or twice a year, but I realized as I read your blog that I've been hanging on to a certain part of my past--that is, my life as a yoga teacher. I stopped teaching two years ago when I found that it…

Clearing the Shelves

I spent a good part of last weekend clearing my shelves of books to give away to Good Will. This was long overdue, but until that moment, I had been unable to do it, even though i haven't touched many of those books for years, if ever. At least 85% of my wall of books was devoted to past professional eras --a vestige of sorts, of my life as an academic specialist on international relations and the former Soviet Union. I realized that while I have clearly moved on, and haven't worked in that…See More

Group coaching workshop for writers in transition starting in November!

Many writers are asking the questions: how can I continue to do the work I love in a new environment, one in which so many of the rules have changed? How might I need to reinvent myself to do this? How might I develop new income streams?Due to the interest that came out of the “Becoming a Writing Coach/Consultant” webinar She Writes is launching a group coaching workshop for writers in transition who are looking to navigate the future in these uncertain times.We will be doing this first group…See More

Thanks for the inspiring webinar today, Shari. I've only recently begun thinking about expanding my business to coaching as well as writing, and your presentation clarified where I need to go from here. I'm excited about this new challenge!

Hi Shari,
I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful webinar! I had to leave just as you started Q and A, but you've inspired me to pursue new and profitable paths with my skills as a writer. There will be many hours of mulling and thinking and planning before I get anything underway, but I'm looking forward to it.
Many many thanks,
Victoria S.

Shari,
I just read a couple of posts of your blog and it seems that you are a very keen observer and question the changes of this world and want to discuss it even further to judge if its finally good for this unsettling and ever changing world.
