#MonthlyMotivation: Critique Over Criticism
“I’m my own worst critic.” It’s something I’ve heard quite often and is true for nearly all of us. Perhaps shaming yourself has not been effective and is even causing you emotional pain. I invite you to come practice utilizing a neutral view of self in order to evaluate things in a more objective way.

#MonthlyMotivation: Connect with your Purpose
We often find work that connects with a purpose, such as giving to others, but then we get busy (and tired) and lose that sense of our personal mission statement. Join this webinar to re-connect with your purpose in life…that may reside outside of your work life. Either way, this practice can help us to be resilient in life.
