The second session in our SheMoney Workshop series was Overcoming Overwhelm: Becoming Your Own Best Thinking Partner. We asked our community "What are your greatest challenges to be effective leaders and business owners?" At the top of the list was trying to do it all. Guess what? You don’t have to!
This workshop is designed to help you move through that feeling of overwhelm towards a more self-aware, effective, and joyful self. Attendees learned the tools of high-quality inquiry, experimentation, empathy, and collaboration in this dynamic workshop with CORE Thinking Partners, who have over 50 years of expertise they are excited to share with you.
