You Are Here: Going From Stuck to Success
Presented by Jaime Taets 

We can all achieve great success, and we all get lost from time to time on our way there.We zig-zag through “shoulds” and the pressures of societal expectations by following rules rather than listening to our inner guidance. We let fear or uncertainty cloud our actions. We react with paralysis or avoidance because we feel stuck or have a hunch we could be doing more. The problem isn't that we have those feelings, it’s that we don't know how to move past them. You Are Here is here to help. 
 
In this event, we will discuss these shared experiences that often hold us back as we move from college grad to manager, and maybe even up to boss. Jaime will provide a series of nudges, reflections, and myth-busting truths that will help everyone see the challenges — and successes — differently.
