Ready, Set, Goal!
Some reflection tells us that, in some areas, we’ve excelled and accomplished things we had never expected – while in others, the progress isn’t quite what we’d planned.
Don’t worry! Life is a journey, your career is evolving, and each of us is a beautiful work in progress.
Join Margaret and the Women’s Network community on November 30th for an interactive session that will help you appreciate the pace of your journey, highlight your long-term professional and personal aspirations, and perhaps re-calibrate how you are moving the ball forward in 2023.
Using humour and practical insights, Margaret will help us navigate our unique paths to achieving our goals.
