The NYU-SCPS Office of Career Management is pleased to sponsor this interactive, lively and inspirational workshop focusing on the needs, challenges and opportunities that affect the lives, careers and philanthropic pursuits of women over 40. This full afternoon workshop, facilitated by DARE-Force CEO, Liz DiMarco Weinmann, will provide information, inspiration and education about how women at this stage of life can cultivate and capture their courage, conviction, competence and confidence to create and implement positive, actionable and fulfilling plans for this second phase of their lives. Included will be research about the greatness of women over 40 throughout history, coupled with individual exercises, interactive brainstorms and other engaging activities to inspire and empower visionary, bright, and motivated women over 40 to believe that “the best is yet to come”

Workshop Leader – Liz DiMarco Weinmann

After all, if Liz didn’t DARE Start this post, her loving but sometimes vitriolic girlfriends would torment her, as they pressed her to prove herself.  If she can DARE Start something new and scary in her 50s, SO can you.  If she’s DARING enough to suffer giggles and critiques from her friends and family, who’ve heard her rant about this for nearly two years, so can YOU.  And, if she’s DARING enough to pursue her own venture after two decades of a successful corporate career, YOU can, too!

It’s a good thing, considering that even the female CEO of a top-tier consulting firm melodramatically wrung her hands as she feigned concern that so many of her consultants over 50 “are of retirement age.” (We presume her corporate clients in trouble right now are getting advice from her 20-something hotshots?)

How DARE You? DARE IT BE SAID!

Be that as it may, those who know how blunt and self-deprecating I can be, also know that I obsess about constructive feedback.  Several women – many of them my brazen but brilliant friends from marketing land - told me to provide better information about  the services of The DARE-Force Corporation.  They’re right. We’re building the service descriptions on this site, www.thedareforce.com, and we hope you’ll always feel free to e-mail us at thedareforce@gmail.com.

Here are just a few of the comments we LOVED: (Initials are to protect privacy.)

“You are the perfect cheerleader for the over 40 (50!) woman attempting to reinvent herself. Your warmth and true understanding communicate so well.” —DW

“Your timing is perfect. Over the past year I have been thinking about what I want to do with the remainder of my working years. I have realized I need to feel that I am touching lives and making a difference in either a small or big way.” —CR

“I am sooooooooooooooo happy and excited that you are doing this. What you are doing is so absolutely necessary for so many of us. I’m really happy to see you included the reference books. Sometimes, you just don’t know where to start.” —EP

Finally, we’d LOVE to hear from you…and you…and YOU, a lot!
