Redefining What Life and Practice Success looks like for You in these Uncertain Times



In March, when our practices and lives first started to be affected by COVID-19, the focus was on adjusting to the new norm.

For many that meant quickly implementing software that had been on the things to do/nice to have list, making hasty purchases to enable remote working and to achieve the best sound and camera quality for the hours and hours we would be spending in online meetings and webinars, and communicating with clients and staff about new processes, procedures and government financial assistance measures.

Some practice owners also had to adjust their homes to co-working spaces and learning hubs for their children.

One of the unlikely consequences has been a shift in perspective.

We may have slowed down in some capacity by having fewer places to be and less commuting time. We may have been unable to visit people we care about and realised we had taken some of these relationships for granted. We may have reconnected as a family unit and made some fun memories along the way that will be talked about for years.

And in between JobKeeper, cash-flow boost, Zoom meetings and press conferences, our definition of practice and life success changed.

In this very practical, engaging and interactive workshop, you will learn how to redefine and articulate what life and practice success looks like for you.


Discover:

  • What is really important to you.
  • Your biggest stressors in life and in practice.
  • The things that keep you awake at night.

  • Learning Outcomes
