It Changes Us. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Life is filled with transitions—some we plan for and others that arrive unexpectedly. Career changes\, retirement\, becoming an empty nester\, ending a relationship\, losing someone we love\, or simply sensing that life is calling us toward something new can leave us feeling uncertain\, even when the change is positive. This month’s Timely Topic invites you to slow down\, reflect\, and discover how life’s biggest transitions can become opportunities for greater clarity\, purpose\, and personal growth. Join Lotus Network for an engaging Conversation Salon with executive coach Steven Brandwayn as we explore what it means to move from chasing expectations to intentionally choosing the life we want to create. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Meet Your Speaker \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Why Transitions Feel So Challenging \n \n \n \n Even exciting milestones can stir unexpected emotions. \nMany people experience: \n\nUncertainty about what’s next\nLoss of identity\nFear of making the wrong decision\nGrief for what they’re leaving behind\nPressure to quickly “figure everything out”\nFeeling disconnected from themselves\n\nThe good news is that uncertainty doesn’t have to be something we avoid. It can become the beginning of meaningful personal transformation. \n \n \n \n Steven Brandwayn is an executive coach\, facilitator\, and founder of iiTree.

Its greatest gift is the invitation to discover who we’re becoming.” “Life is short. Let’s not spend it going through the motions.” “The goal isn’t to get through life. The goal is to actually be here for it.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More About Steven \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Website:  https://iitree.co/ LinkedIn:  http://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenbrandwayn Instagram:  @stevenb.rewFFreeiring Email:  steven@iitree.co Phone:  +1(720) 301-9779 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Your Next Chapter Starts With One Conversation \n \n \n \n Sometimes the most meaningful transformation begins simply by pausing long enough to ask a different question.
