The change that we wish to create does not happen simply by hoping for it. When we understand how change works, we can begin to guide it with intention. 
In this engaging session, Dr. Stefanie Toise will breakdown the process of change and discover how small, intentional shifts can help you move from feeling stuck to taking clear, confident action in your daily life. To make change happen, we need to learn about the obstacles that stand in its way. We will explore and learn more about what obstacles we have and how they hold us back. This is the first step toward making changes in our lives.
No prior experience is needed. Registration is required.
