As a founder or business owner, you wear a lot of hats. The lines between work and life blur, and the goals that once mattered can quietly slip to the bottom of the list.
Do you feel like you are constantly lacking in time or balance – you have so much on your radar, juggling so many important things, and sometimes don’t feel like you have any time to breath?
Do you have a goal (or maybe more than one) that feels important to you but you haven’t moved forward with it?
Deb will talk to us about why we don’t always identify the goals that really matter most and why we don’t always follow through on the ones we do choose.
Join Business Whangaparaoa on Wednesday 25 June from 5.30 pm for an evening of good food, great company and of course and engaging and informative speaker!
As a bonus for all attendees Debbie is very generously offering 1 hour coaching for all attendees so remember to book and see you there!
About Deb: Deb Bailey is a leadership coach, facilitator and speaker who’s all about helping business owners cut through the noise and focus on what really matters.
