PWN London: Finding your equilibrium and path forward during uncertainty

Members only
09 July 2020 18:30 BST - 19:20 BST online

 

The year 2020 is just halfway through, yet the world is undergoing tremendous change spurred by the positive momentum to dismantle systemic racism and the crippling outbreak of a pandemic. This has, in turn, caused profound changes in our perspectives about the search for meaning in our lives.

This online event aims to give you an overview of “Recalibrating” and provide you with practical tools that you can apply to find your equilibrium, purpose and direction in this time of great uncertainty but also positive change.

The 4 experienced speakers will give you tips and advice on how you can re-evaluate your life and determine the essentials, however you define them. They will also share their anecdotes, and lessons learned of how they have overcome challenges, embraced uncertainty and found meaning in their chosen paths.

Come to let us help you and the wider world.

Spread the word, spread the love.
