http://www.XtraordinaryWomen.co.za Xtraordinary Women: Coastal Network TOPIC: How to Tap Into Your Purpose to stay focused in 2014 Many of us experienced burnout at the end of 2013 and struggled to say focused until the end of the year. Want to avoid this happening again? Being passionate about your business makes you feel energized and you can do anything. This normally lasts for a couple of months and then we get tired and unfocused. Unfocused passion eventually fizzles out and leaves you feeling as though you have wasted something precious. Carol Gerber, one of Cape Town’s best business coaches, will share tools, tips and tricks to help you tap into your purpse to stay focused, the ENTIRE year. About our Guest Speaker: Carol Gerber’s journey is a true example of following your instincts. Her entire working career has been one of constant change and up-skilling. All of her varied experience and knowledge she now harnesses to work as a Change Facilitator, Strategist and the writing of inspirational and purpose driven articles. Carol’s personal goal is to be a catalyst for constructive and lasting change, bringing purpose and contentment to the lives of women.
