You’ve been successful - What else can you achieve?

Constructing success is a multi-step, evolving process. Renewing your career and personal aspirations, determining the process, and achieving your goals are part of Patricia Kane’s exciting program, Your Next Best Years©. This program helps you define and utilize your skills, talents and potential and incorporate them professionally – literally determining your future successes. Your Next Best Years© emphasizes and enhances your decision-making talent and inspires the follow-through necessary for achieving success.

Your Next Best Years© is a seven-session creative process. We gather in a small group from 6:00pm – 9:00pm every other week with the opportunity for individual coaching between sessions.

In constructing Your Next Best Years©, there are individual and group exercises in each session, as well as homework assignments that fit in your busy career. As part of the program, we use a variety of learning models, thinking processes, and business tools to inspire your own ambition, creativity, and your blueprint.

Program Curriculum:

Pre-Work

A short initial assessment to establish the base you are working from during the program.

Session 1: Who are you -- Your foundation
Determining goals begins with honest evaluation. Through your own self-assessment, you will create a picture of your own life and envision what you want to take into the future. We take the first steps towards creating your blueprint.

Session 2: Survey -- Assessing your talents, skills and ambition
Investigate your skills, experience and potential to construct your blueprint plan. What do you do well and enjoy doing? How did you achieve that ability? How do those aptitudes impact your future?

Session 3: Core . . . what? Your framework
We move to a creative space offsite to spark your mind as we build the framework for constructing your blueprint. Through an experiential learning exercise, your innovation will be inspired as we explore new ways of thinking and new ideas. We will work individually and within the group to construct solutions for ourselves and each other.

Session 4: Experiment – Be the architect – Erase and redraw
Responsibilities and relationships that you develop professionally and personally can either enhance or block the process of creating your next best years. Through discussion, creative thinking, and structured exercises you will develop the language to communicate your ideas and reach your goals as you move ahead with your blueprint.

Session 5: Stumbling blocks – Managing the hurdles
Scientific research shows that stimulating the physical and mental in new ways creates a healthier and more dynamic you. By understanding the data, we can take actions that enable us to move past our own hurdles and blind spots. We will explore and discover activities to help us realize our own potential.

Session 6: Plan – Drawing the blueprint
Plans change and become clearer, even in the process of creating them. We will design several scenarios for enacting our plans by using a proven model. Through a combination of individual and group exercises, we continue clarifying our individual blueprint at a deeper level.

Session 7: Implement – Build and live your blueprint
You have planned Your Next Best Years© - now we pull together our blueprints and vividly conceptualize how they will gel. We evaluate our individual progress over the last twelve weeks and celebrate each other on our quest.

Your Next Best Years© is a 21-hour group program with two hours individual coaching, created for your professional and personal development. It takes you through a unique and stimulating process fostering your achievement success. The program explores aspirations, barriers, scenarios and needed support systems. The overall cost of Your Next Best Years© is $995.00.
