Friday 3rd February
Learn how to combat that ‘Monday feeling’ with our motivational seminar and board break. This is a great chance to help train one of least used tools at our disposal, our ego.
By using your brain and re-enforcing positive thinking you can overcome challenges that you once thought insurmountable.
The session starts at 18:30, be there.
