Design The Future: Unleash Our Potential
It is at the edge of chaos that transformation is born. To unleash our potential during these times of change is to set loose our imaginings, to pursue our purpose, and to abandon a sense of restrictive control. Each and every one of us has an innate power that often gets buried in doubt, fear, and hesitation. Now is the time to unearth our gifts through creativity/co-creation, learning, wellness, positivity, and play. Join us in the second installment of our Design the Future series of free online events, Unleash Our Potential - October 28th, hosted by HireWisdom.
You can register for the event here.
