What Color Is Your Parachute?

the job-market, people in mid-career crisis, people facing retirement, and people needing to figure out a new career for themselves.

Past participants have come from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Chile, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, and other countries.

Workshops are restricted to the first twenty-one people who enroll. Meetings are held in the author’s home, hosted by his beloved wife, Marci. Continental breakfast and lunch are served each day at the Workshop. Participants usually stay at a Best Western motel, a mile down the road.

Sessions consist of lectures by the author, interactive exercises, and working by oneself or in trios or in groups of six. Topics covered vary from workshop to workshop, depending on the participants’ needs. No two workshops have identical curricula; hence, participants often return in later years.

For a schedule of dates, further information about the workshop, costs, and registration information, send an email to Marci at: fivedayworkshop@aol.com
