The Power of Commitment: The Secret Sauce to Getting Things Done

Most of us move through life wishing we would accomplish various things — find a new job, travel the world, make more money, etc. — and even though we know what we want and wish it would happen, we often don't really take action to accomplish our goals. We blame our boss, the weather, traffic, lack of time and support (to name a few). We keep disappointing ourselves and others and spending energy feeling out of balance.
In this fun and entertaining hour led by Barbara Boselli of BNOW consulting, participants will understand why some of their most important and personal goals are not being achieved, or why they start working on their goals and then stop. We will explore the difference between knowing what we want and actually doing something to achieve it.
