About the program ## Change is inevitable. *Purpose is intentional.* We can embrace change or resist it, but we can't stop it. To move forward, whether outside forces impose change on us or our inner selves demand it, we need to know how to navigate it. For 40 years, the Hudson Institute of Coaching has welcomed professionals from business, medicine, law, higher education, finance, and more to press pause, look at how their life has unfolded so far, and decide how they want to shape what comes next. LifeForward is built on the Cycle of Renewal, Hudson's framework for life's chapters and transitions. Your coach won't tell you what to do. They'll help you work it out for yourself. ![The Cycle of Renewal: a four-phase model of life chapters and transitions](https://inspire-growth.hudsoninstitute.com/hubfs/lifeforward-cycle-of-renewal-wheel.jpg) The Cycle of Renewal, from the LifeForward workbook Four areas of focus 01 ### Reflect To plan what's next, look at where you've been: how you got here and what you learned on the way. What strengths can you carry forward? 02 ### Repurpose What used to motivate you may not carry you forward. Which values guide your decisions, which roles satisfy you most, and which passions give you a spark? 03 ### Envision Clarity of vision is essential to navigating change. Dream big, and include what gives your next chapter a renewed sense of purpose and meaning. 04 ### Plan Turn your vision into action: the steps you'll take, the milestones you'll pass, and the people who can support you on the way. You'll move between large-cohort sessions and small-group work, with time for learning and quiet reflection, and leave with a plan for your next chapter, in your own words. ## In a participant's words > “I came to the program to clearly decide what my next career role would be. I took away so much more than that. I found permission to let go of others' expectations… and a group to be in community with.” LifeForward Participant, June 2025 ## Questions Who can use the RENEWAL20 code?
