Offered in partnership with Purposeful Third Act (P3A).
The series will explore how to leverage a lifetime of strategic insight and networks to build a meaningful ‘portfolio’ of engagement – ranging from board service and advisory roles to civic leadership – and the societal benefit that ensues from leveraging leadership capital. Participants will be encouraged to view this transition as a period of active discovery, exploring how to align their skills and interests with new opportunities for impact and personal fulfillment.
Designing your Purposeful Third Act: How Executives can build their next chapter through practical pathways
Building on the mindset shift from Session 1, this session focuses on how to begin shaping a next chapter in practical terms.
Through real-world examples and peer perspectives, participants will explore the different ways leaders are translating their experience into meaningful engagement—across sectors, roles, and types of contribution.
The session will introduce a simple framework to help participants begin connecting three elements:
- Their experience, strengths, and networks
Areas of interest, curiosity, or purpose
Opportunities to contribute in ways that are both meaningful and sustainable
The discussion will:
- Highlight diverse pathways, including advisory roles, board service, mentorship, civic engagement, and new ventures
Emphasize that this phase is often built iteratively—through exploration, testing, and refinement
Provide a practical tool to help participants begin designing their own approach
Participants will leave with a clearer sense of possible directions and a practical starting point for shaping their own Purposeful Third Act.
