Enabling Womens Careers - Aligning to your Values
This is the penultimate of our current booked sessions in our Womens forum so dont miss out! This is the penultimate of our current booked sessions in our Womens forum so dont miss out! In this workshop we are going to take a dive into exploring Values (ie. The things that are important to us as individuals). We know when things don't feel right and we know when things do, but how often do we spend the time to get really clear so that we can do more of what we love and avoid the things that drain us? When we take the time out to explore what is important to us it heightens our awareness and acts as a catalyst to help us to stay on track. In this session we will explore: - What are values? - How can understanding our values help us to progress in life and business? - Identify our own personal Values - Explore how we can do small things to become more aligned This session will be live online on Zoom. It will not be recorded as we aim to create a safe space for members to express themselves, network and grow. These sessions are for all levels of PFS and CII and future topics will be established from member feedback within the group. The sessions are facilitated by Caroline who is a Certified Coach and NLP Trainer, however, these sessions are an exploration for all and so please bring your top tips to share with other members of the group and be open to explore and encourage eachother. Please allow up to 90 minutes for this session.
