Second Acts: Ready or Not Life Changes


A Breakfast Seminar that will ignite and inspire women for their next act.
The Three Tomatoes, a weekly e-newsletter and web site for "women who aren't kids", will present a breakfast panel to inspire and ignite midlife women for their next act. 

The panel (which includes Smart Women Don't Retire author Gail Rentsch) discussion will appeal to women who are either looking to leave the corporate world (or who have been pushed out), and want to do something entrepreneurial or totally different from what they're doing now; or women who will be moving out of successful careers in the next 4-5 years who have no idea what they want to do next.  (We know no one really retires.)
 
The panel discussion will focus on taking the anxiety out of leaping into the unknown and how to get ready for a next act. The advice from a stellar panel will cover the gamut from advice for women entrepreneurs, how to transition into new phases of careers and life, and real stories from women who have dramatically changed their careers and their lives, and are loving it.
