Re-energize, Reimagine and Reinvent: Crafting the Next Chapter of Your Work and Life

Sponsored by the Center for Faculty Development’s Office for Senior Faculty Transitions

Mid to late career for highly-motivated individuals can be a time of stress and transition, but also a chance to reflect, re-energize, and reimagine work and life. Recent research in the fields of life span development and positive psychology highlights that the old paradigm and mindset of gradual decline into the retirement years is no longer accurate or helpful. In this webinar, Drs. Stephanie and Russ Eisenstat shared a high-level roadmap as well as practical first steps participants can take to move towards higher levels of intentionality and fulfillment in the mid to late stages of their careers.
