Please join us for the second installment of our SBSI Speaker Series

Beyond the Finish Line: The Journey of Setting and Achieving Goals

This workshop is for anyone looking to slow down, take a step back to reflect and consider what is most important to each of us personally.  While doing so we will not only take the time to contemplate our goals but consider the personal growth that happens along the way. We'll cover how to set goals that matter to you, create practical plans to reach them, and recognize the deeper rewards that come with the process—not just ticking boxes off a list.

We’ll discuss the challenges you might face and celebrate the growth that comes from overcoming them. The focus is on more than just hitting your targets; it's about how you grow during the journey and how those experiences shape your future.

Whether you’re looking for more fulfillment, better life balance, or career progress, this workshop will help you tap into your potential and achieve more than you thought possible!
