Change is universal.

Lately, I’ve been talking with people navigating change. Some are here in Europe, others in the U.S., and many elsewhere around the world.

Sometimes the change is by choice. Other times they were… invited into it. (Haha.) Downsizes or restructures. Career pivots. New directions. Rethinking how or where they want to work or live.

That’s why I’m happy to share this upcoming workshop being hosted by One Handshake.

One of our founding members, Alessandra Rossi, will be leading a session called “The Self-CSO: The Strategic Blueprint for Clarity, Direction and Action.”

She spent 20 years in global strategy leadership at Nielsen and now helps organizations and individuals translate big ideas and transitions into clear strategy and action.

If you’re in a moment of change, this could be incredibly helpful.

And if it’s not you, I am pretty sure you know someone who is in this space right now. Feel free to share or tag someone who might benefit. 😊

Across years of conversations with people from many countries, industries, and backgrounds, one theme keeps showing up.

So many people carry a quiet wish to become a published author.

It stays with them through career changes, relocations, and those moments when they pause long enough to consider what they want their life or work to stand for.

For some, it’s personal satisfaction.

For others, it's for professional positioning or a sense of legacy.

Often it’s a mix of all three.

Contigo Press exists for these people.

We bring individuals together in a guided cohort and move through the writing process as a group, resulting in a published anthology. There’s structure, accountability, and community built in, which makes the experience far less isolating.

Most aspiring authors aren’t unsure about the writing itself; they’re unsure about how to begin and how to stay on track.

If you’ve been carrying the idea of a book for a long time, this may be the season to revisit it.

And you may also know someone who has been talking about “one day writing a book” for years. If so, feel free to pass this along.

As many of you know, the last five years have brought quite a few big transitions for me. What I’ve noticed in my own life, and in the lives of so many people I’ve worked with, is that when one part of life shifts, it often sparks questions in other parts too. Identity, work, relationships...they all start to move at once. And that in-between space can feel disorienting and clarifying at the same time.

For me, relationships have always been the mirror that helps me see what’s next. They offer a place to reflect, test ideas, try things out, and think in new ways. No judgment. No bias. Just real support and a gentle challenge to consider possibilities I might not have seen on my own.

That is the backstory of One Handshake and why I knew it was time to create it. I kept seeing people in seasons of transition...people rethinking their work, realigning with their values, or rebuilding direction after a major change.

They weren’t looking for quick answers. They were looking for the right conversations, the right people, and a place to sort through what this next chapter could look like.

Often, they wanted fresh perspectives and new relationships that matched who they were becoming. Not because anything was wrong with the relationships they already had, but because growth invites us to widen our view.

Again and again, I saw how one introduction or a thoughtful exchange could spark clarity when everything felt in motion. Eventually, it became clear that this needed to be its own experience.

Today, One Handshake brings together founders, professionals, and creatives from around the world who are navigating change with intention. It is a steady place for perspective, community, and support as people find their next direction without forcing it.

If you’re in a season of transition or rethinking what is next, you’re not alone.
