Goal-Setting Activity – We will look at our top priorities, how we are spending most of our time, what our ideal life would look like and seeing how we can bring these aspects into alignment. From there, we will create new goals for ourselves to help us get to where we want to be in 5, 10 or even next year.
We are creating a space for you to brainstorm, share and expand on your ideas for a project you may have been thinking about your whole life, the past 6 months or even something you came up with during the goal setting activity. We are here to listen to your ideas and support you in any way you need or want us to.
