Motivating Self Through Times of Change

Presented by Carolyn Hadcock

We are living through an unprecedented time of change. COVID 19 certainly has upended most of our lives. How are you handling it? Is change an ally or foe? Did you find these changes scary or could you see positive aspects in your new situation? Was there a silver lining?

During this keynote address, with Carolyn, you will examine reasons for your feelings. Carolyn will also assist you to discover secrets to aid in motivating self to be a Master Change Handler. You will leave this session with the skills to embrace change, being able to view your changing circumstance with a positive attitude.
