From Dream to Plan to Reality - Make Your Ideal Year Happen

Understanding your core tendencies and behaviors can help you achieve your professional and personal goals.

About this Event

How do you want 2024 to shake out for you? In your career? In your life? Are you ready to bring to life that thing you’ve been wanting to do forever?

It’s common to hear that ‘how you do anything is how you do everything.’ That’s true for some people, but what’s true for everyone is that how you PLAN is unique to you, and in fact that’s what determines how you do everything.

There are six different Planner Archetypes that align with the spectrum of how people think and behave in planning, whether in our jobs or our life. Why does that matter? Because if we can understand our core tendencies and behaviors, we can work better with them – for ourselves, working with our teams, and living more happily in our relationships.
