Women Thriving Beyond Transitions: A Conversation on Power, Change, and What’s Next
February 18, 2026
10:00 AM PT
01:00 PM ET
Join us for a deep conversation with Leslie Salmon Jones and Carla Goldstein of the Omega Institute about navigating the uncomfortable in-between of transition, when you’re not who you were, but not yet who you’re becoming.
Drawing on decades of work with women leaders, Leslie and Carla explore what it means to move through change without trying to fix or rush it, and how we can reclaim power that feels grounded and shared rather than depleted.
We’ll explore:
- Why the “messy middle” of transition is normal, not something to solve
- What “doing power differently” means for women in midlife
- How to retrieve the parts of yourself you’ve had to squash along the way
Whether you’re in transition by choice or circumstance, this conversation offers a different way to think about change, power, and what becomes possible when women do this work together.
