At mid-career, the path can feel messy, uncertain, and lonely, especially in a world reshaped by AI, layoffs, and rapid change.
The pressure to stay relevant and keep achieving often collides with a longing for meaning, balance, and authenticity. You don’t have to navigate that tension alone.
Lift Up Connections brings together women who are ready to reimagine what’s next, not by trying to compete with technology, but by deepening the human skills AI can’t replicate: empathy, creativity, insight, and connection.
Together, you’ll design a career and life that are uniquely yours, grounded in your values, purpose, and human strengths.
About the Program
This program combines research-backed methods, human-centered design, and expert facilitation to help you navigate your next chapter with clarity and confidence even as technology reshapes the landscape. You’ll learn to design a career that not only keeps pace with change but amplifies your human edge.
Based on Christine Perfetti’s Only You Reinvention Framework, developed through hundreds of interviews with women who’ve successfully reinvented their careers and lives, this program combines research-backed methods, human-centered design, and expert facilitation to help you move from reflection to action.
Whether you’re staying in your current field, pivoting toward something new, or exploring how to bring more meaning into your work and life, you’ll leave with clarity, courage, and momentum.
Why This Experience Matters Now
In an era of AI disruption, your most powerful asset is not what you do, but who you are. This program helps you reconnect with your uniquely human value and design your next chapter around it.
Traditional professional development is built around experts talking at you.
What You’ll Experience:
• Peer Council Connection: Join a small, curated group of mid-career women who will hold space for honest reflection, share perspectives, and champion one another’s growth.
• The Only You Career Reinvention Framework: Christine’s research-based process combines life-mapping, discovery interviews, and vision prototyping, tools she’s used with leaders at Harvard Business School, GoFundMe, and HubSpot—to help you clarify your direction and design actionable next steps.
• Expert Facilitation with Empathy: Christine Perfetti is a social psychologist, seasoned UX researcher, and master facilitator who blends rigorous inquiry with compassionate guidance. Her sessions balance depth with momentum, helping participants navigate ambiguity, identity, and possibility.
• Meaningful Reflection + Real Action: You’ll explore your career and life holistically: your strengths, values, wellness, and relationships. And you will design small, low-risk “career pilots” to test and refine your ideas before making big changes in who you are and what matters most.
Christine Perfetti is the CEO of Lift Up Connections and creator of the Only You Reinvention Framework, a research-based approach to designing the next chapter of your career and life.
With two decades of executive leadership in UX, Product Strategy, and Research, and a Master’s in Social Psychology from Brown University, Christine has helped hundreds of individuals and organizations reimagine what’s next. Her superpower is creating spaces where women share insights, spark new possibilities, and rise together.
Because transformation happens faster, deeper, and more joyfully when we do it in community.
“Christine has thoughtfully crafted a program that goes beyond conventional playbooks or manuals. What I needed was a space to connect with like-minded women—where we can listen, challenge, and provide real-time feedback to each other. Together, we are all learning and growing.”
