Discover who you are now to launch your best chapter yet
After decades of moving at a million miles an hour – striving, building, compromising, accomplishing and bending to meet life’s demands – have you paused to reflect on who you truly are?
More specifically, WHO ARE YOU NOW?
You've taken on so many roles over the past decades, adopting habits, patterns, beliefs, and identities that may no longer serve you.
Research shows that midlife is an ideal time to pause, reflect, and transform.
What would it feel like to release outdated layers of identity and step fully into the person you are today, clear and confident in your path?
Spring is the perfect time to gain clarity and intention in this immersive workshop, blending social science, human insight, and reflective exercises to help you define and step purposefully into your next chapter.
In this workshop co-facilitated by globally renowned brand strategist and identity architect Jill Nykoliation, you will shed the outmoded layers of identity that are stopping you from fully embracing who you are now – so you can step purposefully into your next chapter and live your best life.
What you’ll gain

The “Who Am I Now” course was one of the most impactful I have participated in. Even with clear goals after retirement, Jill helped open my eyes to areas of my life, and self, that I was not aware of, and I have carried those insights forward, enhancing my life. Take the course!
Paul Grossbard
After retiring, then suffering the loss of my precious spouse to cancer, “Who Am I Now” spoke directly to me. With Jill’s rich, research-based resources and exercises, I created the blueprint for what’s next for me. This program was nothing short of life changing. Jill is truly in a class of her own.
