About Goal Planning in Uncertain Times with Certified Coach Danielle Leroux
She Summits Forum Co-Founder and Certified Life & Leadership Coach Danielle Leroux leads our third event of the series: Goal Planning in Uncertain Times.
We all feel differently about setting goals in a pandemic and may have limited capacity to do so - and that's OK. She Summits is here to support you in reaching your next life summit, no matter how big or small.
During this interactive workshop, come prepared with a journal, pen, and the willingness to reflect and maybe do a little bit of dreaming! Danielle will lead you through guided journal prompts to reflect on where you're at and the goal you want to focus on next.
Then, she'll take you through the She Summits goal-planning framework. In breakout rooms, we'll discuss accountability and finding support. You'll leave with an action plan to reach your next goal and clarity on when you may need a little self-care.
About Women Creating Conscious Change: Panel Discussion
We're honoured to be joined by four women for an engaging panel discussion to close off our Elevate & Ignite series! These women are creating positive change and impact within their own industries and communities.
You'll learn more about the work they do, the obstacles they've overcome, and the change they've created. You'll leave with encouragement and confidence to create change within your own life and community.
