Self-Advocacy and Self-Actualization
Details
About the event
What is your role in your organization and what is required to keep that position? Do you need to code-switch? Dim your light? Do you feel like you put your own needs last or downplay them? We will examine your goals and dreams to develop an individualized plan and align that with what you are doing now. What might shift for you if you really prioritized yourself? The possibilities are exciting and scary, and you don’t need to leap, just step.
