LEADERSHIP EXPERT RITA PEREA TO DIRECT “TRANSITIONS” WORKSHOP

January 3 , 2005– Leadership expert Rita Perea will lead “Transitions: Making Sense of Life’s Changes,” a five-night public workshop sponsored by Covenant Presbyterian Church in West Des Moines, Iowa.

“Many people today are caught in various stages of transition. In fact, our lives are changing before our very eyes, and all too often we simply don’t know how to recover from and grow through our experiences,” Perea said. “Whether it’s a life change such as the ending of a relationship through death or divorce, having a new baby, or the beginning a new job, “Transitions: Making Sense of Life’s Changes” will help participants understand and apply the three distinct phases involved in all of life’s transitions.”

The workshop, which runs from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., will be held on Jan. 26, Feb. 2, Feb. 16, Feb. 23 and March 2. It is open to the public, free of charge. The class size will be limited and participants must pre-register by Jan. 19 by calling the church office, 225-2254. All sessions will be held at the church, 1025 28 th St., West Des Moines.
