    Session Title

    Recognizing the Stirring: Hearing the Nudge Toward Your Next Chapter

    Date & Time

    Monday, June 2, 2025 · 12:00–1:00 PM Eastern Time · Live Online via Teams.

    Session Description

    Something in you has been quietly insistent — a low-grade restlessness, an unnamed excitement, a thought that keeps returning no matter how often you set it aside. That is the Stirring. In this opening session of the Career Webinar Series, Susan draws from her new book, The Stirring, to help you recognize, understand, and begin to trust the internal signals that are calling you forward.

    What We’ll Explore Together:

    •        1.  How to recognize the Stirring — the internal nudge toward something new or different, and why it matters that you listen

    •        2.  Understanding the nudges and clues your life has been leaving — the patterns, longings, and recurring thoughts that are pointing toward what’s next

    •        3.  Planning for your career transition — moving from awareness into intentional, grounded action

    Who This Is For

    Anyone sensing it may be time for a career change — whether you know where you’re headed or simply know something needs to shift. No cost. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about what might be next for you.
