From the first stages of a career to retirement, managing the transition between different stages of working life can go smoothly, but sometimes can feel abrupt and disjointed. Our identity and sense of self can go through major shifts during these transitions, and the more you can be aware of where you are and what you are called to be, the more smoothly the transitions can go.

She believes that in order to harness your personal power in life, you must clearly identify your talents and dreams and find a way to contribute them to your community as a whole.
