Our lives are filled with what seem to be competing needs. How do we shift our paradigms to a both/and framework? How do we navigate the many tugs on our time and energy AND prioritize our well-being? How do we build trust in our relationships AND set boundaries? How do we honor our own experiences AND value the diversity of perspectives and experiences that spark innovation?
Join the 7 Habits @ Longwood team on November 16-17, 2023 as we explore 7 Habits, 7 Principles, and several strategies for a more effective and meaningful life.
Interested in 7 Habits, but unable to attend a 2-day session, send an email to barrettdt@longwood.edu. If we have enough interest, we can explore other options.
