Register here!

Life moves quickly. There often isn’t time to revel over daily successes, whether it’s hitting a goal a week ahead of schedule or managing not to spill your morning coffee on your favorite sweater. Successboarding is a process designed to help you incorporate the power of self- recognition into your daily routine. Our time together will explain why accolades are an essential part of a successful business plan and how recognizing yourself leads to larger and more success-based revelations. At the end of our time together you will have a way to recognize yourself that is tangible, measurable, and easily incorporated into your daily life.

Following the luncheon, a special workshop lead by Marlo Higgins will be offered to those who register.

Learning outcomes/Participants of the workshop session will:

• Evaluate and be accountable for personal successes, utilizing a daily, weekly, and quarterly process
• Create a visual display of success
• Implement those successes into current and future business plans

Learn more or register now!!
