Monday NEST Lecture On Downsizing



NEST (Northeast Seattle Together), which supports Northeast Seattle elder neighbors through a network of volunteers and vendors, is having a presentation on Monday at 2pm called "The Upside of Downsizing: Getting to Enough.

The event is being held at the Magnuson Park Brig (6344 NE 74th Street) in the Garden Room.

The information says:


Dr. Sara Hart will discuss her book: The Upside of Downsizing: Getting to Enough and her experience dealing with the emotional impact of downsizing. In this caring and lighthearted presentation, Dr. Hart will offer helpful hints on how to communicate effectively with Real Estate Agents, Professional Downsizers, Stagers, and friends and family. Dr. Hart will offer sage advice about taking care of yourself during the process and understanding what “getting to enough” means and how it can be so helpful to you. 
“How will I know when I have enough?” That is the question Sara Hart asks audiences when talking about her special project called Sign of Enough. She began her project in the mid 1990’s, and recently her passion has been refueled as the results of our over consumption and greed become more and more obvious. The idea also became the watch word for her as she completed a major downsizing of her home.  
Dr. Hart has been involved in helping to develop leaders and effective teams inside organizations for 30+ years. Prior to founding her own management consulting company, Hartcom, Sara was in charge of Training and Development for the research division of Pfizer both in the US and the UK. She has facilitated hundreds of groups and presented to scores of meetings.

Volunteers provide companionship, care, as well as help seniors with a wide range of services, including gardening, computer help and more. to seniors aging in their homes. Ongoing classes (fitness, etc) are also offered, as well as access to events, transportation services, and various services (such as estate planners) who provide their services at a discount to members.
