How often do women take the time to focus on their goals and what they really want?
The career landscape has changed dramatically, even in the last five years, but have you evolved how you go about setting goals and making changes?
Have you been wanting to change things up for a while, but are feeling stuck and overwhelmed at the thought of beginning? Have you been putting off making decisions about what you really want? Do you set resolutions, goals or a “word of the year” each and every December 31, only to find yourself back in your old and familiar habits by February?
This is for you. We guarantee you will leave ready to jump into 2019 with purpose, inspiring goals, and an action plan you are committed to following through.
Join us for a masterclass and workshop in setting exciting goals that make you want to get out of bed every morning. Learn about the science behind our habits, as well as simple tricks to adjust old patterns so you can build new, healthier ones. Plus get top tips and tricks to debunk myths, uncover your obstacles and leave feeling empowered by your choices, not defeated by them. Get prepped to start the new year fresh and feel inspired to commit to a discipline you didn’t think you could achieve. Let us help you conquer 2019 with intention and a plan.
We promise no generic answers. We value transparency, honesty, inclusivity and encouragement. Take a day in the pre-holiday chaos to meet like-minded women and eat yummy food in a hip venue, while devoting a day to the most important person in your life: YOU!
*Post-session Accountability
Don’t worry, we won’t let you forget about this… we’re offering email follow-ups through December, as well as a live video call in January to help you stay focused on your goal.
