#195 Adulthood II: A New Stage of Life

Today Cindy talks with Sue Brightman, best-selling author, coach & consultant who interviewed 100 women over 50 and shared the results in her book, A Call to Further Becoming:  The New Declaration from Women Over 50. Ms. Brightman defines Adulthood II, the importance of contribution, the beauty of sisterhood, and what it means to “blast out of the water” as we age. Think you are being selfish doing what you want? Think again. Ms. Brightman clarifies the positive ripple effect of experimenting with the new, feeling the freedom to be yourself, and the concept of “Done With That” as part of a recipe for further becoming. 

Sue Brightman. Author, Women’s Leadership Coach, Conscious Business Consultant. 
Sue Brightman is here to help women respond to their highest calling in the world. Blasting out of the water worn-out narratives about women over 50 and supporting the new emerging century of women's leadership, Sue's research, writing, and services are aimed at shifting the balance of humanity's direction through affirmation and support of women. With 30 years as a Conscious Business consultant and organizational change expert to company giants such as Shell, General Motors, Huffington Post, Pulitzer Newspapers and giants in the tech, healthcare, and services industries, Sue pivoted her work to focus on the breakthrough new tracks being laid down by women. After interviewing 100 women in Adulthood II and identifying key themes at this stage, Sue wrote an Amazon best-selling book "A Call to Further Becoming: The New Declaration from Women Over 50." Given the evolutionary shift to which it points, she provides affirmation, information, and encouragement for women over 50 and emerging women who feel the tremendous promise in challenging work/life transitions. Sue offers workshops, group and one-on-one retreats, and is a coach to women of all ages who are being called to expand, express, and lead in new ways.
