A Change of Life in This Change of Age™
Explore transitioning into "second adulthood" (Sheehy 2006)
The late acclaimed Professor Emeritus of the Wharton School, Dr. Russell L. Ackoff, informed us twenty-five years ago that we were in the early stages of "a Change of Age: a collective and individual re-evaluation of the principles with which we make sense of our world".
This transition is full blown today; our world view is transforming from one theory of reality to another because problems that have challenged the validity of the current world view, cannot be solved within it (Ackoff, 1993). Simultaneously, scientific discovery is changing the perceived structure of it. Such was the case during the transition from Middle Ages to the Renaissance and now as we shift from the Machine Age to the Systems Age, the Age of Climate Change.
At the same time, those nearing or beyond 50 are in their personal transitions. Our very concepts about age and our abilities to enjoy active life in later years are anachronistic. After all, today we know it literally takes only 21 days to rewire the synapses in your brain. As long as we keep learning anew our agility continues. At least one million American baby boomers will pass the age of 100. Men have menopause! Neuro-scientists are proposing that there may be no limit to the adult human life cycle, etc.
How do we prepare for such a transition? We are all caught in our own realities and see our challenges based on that which we already know, outdated information. At the same time, we know we need to transition into a new life for this new age that does not look like the past. What is the theory of reality on which this new age is founded? How do we discover a new fulfillment? What will it take to achieve? From where can we generate a new enthusiasm?
A guided self-reflective individual journey about mindfully transitioning in to Second Adulthood that engages one to one generative dialogue and explores cutting edge thought and discovery.
Interactive multimedia presentations explore our individual and collective 'change of age', new paradigms of success and innovative thoughts on fulfillment in Second Adulthood. Individually customized reading and action learning journeys are undertaken between sessions.
Who will benefit?
Persons interested in preparing for and proactively engaging the transition or just beginning to search for your "way".
What is the objective?
A shift in perspective on this new age, a mindful journey of your own aliveness and a more fulfilling transition into "second adulthood".
