Do you ever experience information overload? Do you sometimes wonder if you are doing the right thing? Do you love the idea of investing more time in yourself but feel you just don't have the time (or money) to do it? How valuable would it be if you could find a cost effective way to improve the performance and productivity of your business? Susan would like to invite you to explore how you can maximise your personal and business performance without spending any money, without going on a training course and starting right now. She will share the latest research into neuroscience and mindfulness to offer you a new perspective on how you can: step back from all of the "doing" that you do expand your awareness create a greater sense of clarity so that you can tune into what your true priorities are both for yourself and for your business without losing momentum.
