SUMMARY:Taking Charge of Change: Five Fundamental Truths for Mastering the Chaos of Life
DESCRIPTION:Taking Charge of Change: Five Fundamental Truths for Mastering the Chaos of Life With Jim Hjort \nWednesday\, Oct. 21\, 2026 | Noon PT \nVirtual via Zoom \nHosted by the UCLA Alumni Association\, open to all UC alumni \nChange is the only constant in life\, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today\, it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult\, a career pivot you’re contemplating\, or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. \nHowever it shows up\, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that\, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today\, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck\, stifled\, and afraid tomorrow. Yet\, if you are inclined toward personal growth\, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom\, inner stability\, and even growth. \nLEARN MORE & REGISTER
