Meanwhile is a longtime project founded by Fred Jones.
Meanwhile Studio makes it easier for adults to step into who they are becoming next in a world that (still) needs them now. It is one answer to a question: Where do adults go when their life is changing and they want to find their way forward?
Meanwhile focuses on how Now becomes Next. It enables people to create the time and space they need for reflection and exploration ... regularly, and also in transitional periods as you and the world around you change.
The Meanwhile Interview: Self-Paced, Video-Guided
Need a moment to listen to yourself ... better? The Interview is a free video-guided process focused on what may be in flux for you these days regarding life, work or whatever. It takes approximately 30 minutes, including pauses for reflection and note taking. You and a friend can do it separately and plan to talk about it! Click on the image below to start.
Schedule a virtual 75-minute confidential conversation that goes beyond The Meanwhile Interview and results in an outline of pathways forward as you reorient in there here and now and step toward what's next.
This conversation is for adults at any age who sense they are in some kind of transitional period and who want to create time and space to reflect and explore. It is not for people who want easy answers or who want uncertainty about the future to be eliminated.
Your takeaway is your notes recorded on a template provided by Fred during the conversation, along with a special monograph on transitions.
Fee for the Consultation: $350
