Picture this: you’ve come to a crossroads. It’s time for a change. But, which way do you go? Where do you start? How do you start?
In our 12 in 12 program, twelve women meet for twelve months, with each woman starting out in a new direction. Each creates a project of her own design and begins work on it, supported by the group.
They decide where to start, and what comes next.
How? By constructing individual roadmaps to follow for the year. Each woman’s roadmap envisions a path as well as the inevitable obstacles she may confront along the way.
The 12 in 12 roadmaps make up the stories that each woman lives and tells.
Listen as Una Betti, Lori McAndrew and Ronda Tamerlane share their roadmaps, and discuss how the women in the 12 in 12 have become markers and grounding for each other as they embark on their individual year-long journeys.
What about you? Do you have a roadmap that you can follow?
Does your plot need a twist?
