Secrets of Women Who Do Tell:  how to leverage the power of your age
IJ invites women on the upside of 45 to acknowledge the realities of aging; to learn from the secrets of women who do tell how old they are; and, to seize the possibilities that appear to women who know and feel that they are more than what they see in mirror!  Regaling stories of her 88 year-old mom and other remarkable women, IJ reveals that "old" truly is in the mind of the beholder.

Break Out the Good China
Queenage™ is a time of personal power, poise, and possibilities.  A time to break out the good china and celebrate who you are.  A time to do the things you've always dreamed of, but may have put on hold for too many years.  Queenage™ is a time of confidence, contribution and contentment.  Revel in the great opportunities of life today and look forward to all your future has to offer.

Retire to the Life You Design
Getting close to retirement with your financial plan in place, if you're feeling nervous and at the same time excited about the freedom that will be yours when you retire, you're not alone.  If you think that continuing to work or leading a life of leisure are the only options available to fill your time in retirement, think again. This workshop will help you begin to plan for retirement from the inside out, so that you will know the values that drive your choices, the natural strengths you bring to the world, and the interests you wish to pursue to provide the personal meaning and fulfillment you want in your future.
