Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and  people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible). 

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

One effect of the pandemic is that many individuals have realized that some part of their work life needs to be changed. Many have experienced a professional loss and need to find new job, some just want a new way to work, while others have realized a strong desire to change careers.  

These professional transitions can cause anxiety and uncertainty but can also be exciting and empowering— particularly when there is support, and a tried and true process, to teach you how to build resilience in uncertainty, work from your values and effectively move through major change.   

Research has shown that how well you navigate change, and the transition that follows it, has a direct impact on the degree of well-being, purpose, and satisfaction you experience on a day-to-day basis.

The Life Balance Institute has been offering weekend workshops, 1:1 coaching and class series for over thirty years.  For the first time we are offering a daylong format, tailored to the needs of the workplace.  The workshop will be led by Ron Ames and Maria Egan, both award winning creative executives and leaders in their respective fields of the film and music industries, and also certified Changes & Transitions strategists and mindfulness educators

Together, we’ll be learning principles about the nature of change and how it we navigate it in our professional lives, mapping adult stages of development, as well as mindfulness practices to help you move through times of change with more balance. You will also be offered a series of self-assessments and tools from the Life Balance Institute that have helped countless individuals step into greater alignment with their creativity and the new world we find ourselves in. 

In this workshop, you can learn skills to effectively respond to change including:

  • Using the “Journey through Change” as a map to locate yourself in the process of your current change 
  • Explore your values and essential intentions to help guide your next steps
  • Assessing what parts of your life are out of balance 
  • Gaining insights about your strengths, challenges and habits of mind in dealing with uncertainty and change.
  • Creating a strategy for effectively navigating your change.
  • Expect a day of dynamic inquiry and learn to meet change with authenticity, confidence, and clarity.

Schedule (PT):
Saturday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm (with a 1-hour lunch break from 12:30 – 1:30 pm)

Space is extremely limited for this intimate pilot series, please register early if you plan to join us. This workshop will be held online, on the zoom platform.
