Midlife Matters: Margaret Sarkissian ("Midlife Dialogues" Series)

Margaret is an inspirational coach, using her background in counseling and somatic work to help her clients envision and create the lives they have previously only dreamed of. She authored a chapter in the anthology Overcomers, Inc., published just last month, and is also currently writing a book on the healthy workplace due December 2009. Margaret seeks to foster growth in all her work and is, of course, committed to her own journey of continual learning and self-discovery.

She has also created a new course called "Living Appreciatively: A Journey to Joy." This course takes participants through a process of seeing what is already good and right in their lives, and builds on that to help them create more joyful lives. The facilitator guides the participants through learning materials developed by author Jacqueline Kelm and based on principles of appreciative inquiry.
