Design the career and life only you can build. A 4-week program for mid-career and senior women navigating career shifts or reinvention.
Course overview
At mid-career, the path can feel messy, uncertain, and lonely. The pressure to keep achieving often collides with the longing for meaning, balance, and authenticity.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Lift Up Connections exists to help women grow, lead, and thrive through that complexity. Not by pushing harder, but by finding strength in community.
We bring together women navigating career and life inflection points to reimagine what’s next, build confidence, and create momentum. Through connection, reflection, and collective wisdom, you’ll design a chapter that feels aligned and alive.
About the Program
In this 4-week, 8-session experience, you’ll join a powerful peer group of women ready to reimagine their next chapter with intention, creativity, and strategic insight.
Based on Christine Perfetti’s Only You Reinvention Framework, developed through hundreds of interviews with women who’ve successfully reinvented their careers and lives, this program combines research-backed methods, human-centered design, and expert facilitation to help you move from reflection to action.
Whether you’re staying in your current field, pivoting toward something new, or exploring how to bring more meaning into your work and life, you’ll leave with clarity, courage, and momentum.
Why This Experience is Different
Traditional professional development is built around experts talking at you.
Lift Up Connections is different, It’s a shared space where insight flows between us. Every Lift Up experience is grounded in three pillars:
1. Connection: Genuine relationships that spark insight and accountability.
2. Community: Shared wisdom from peers who’ve walked similar paths.
3. Clarity: Proven frameworks that help you design what’s next with confidence.
What You’ll Experience:
• Peer Council Connection: Join a small, curated group of mid-career women who will hold space for honest reflection, share perspectives, and champion one another’s growth.
• The Only You Career Reinvention Framework: Christine’s research-based process combines life-mapping, discovery interviews, and vision prototyping, tools she’s used with leaders at Harvard Business School, GoFundMe, and HubSpot—to help you clarify your direction and design actionable next steps.
• Expert Facilitation with Empathy: Christine Perfetti is a social psychologist, seasoned UX researcher, and master facilitator who blends rigorous inquiry with compassionate guidance. Her sessions balance depth with momentum, helping participants navigate ambiguity, identity, and possibility.
• Meaningful Reflection + Real Action: You’ll explore your career and life holistically: your strengths, values, wellness, and relationships. And you will design small, low-risk “career pilots” to test and refine your ideas before making big changes in who you are and what matters most.
