SESSION ONE
COVID has had a profound impact on us all in different ways, yet it has also allowed us to stop, reflect and think about what matters most. So, how has COVID changed us and ultimately what will it mean for us moving forward? How do we find a balance between purpose and freedom in our new normal?
Join Alison Strasser in conversation with Virginia Mansell, as they lead a discussion on understanding our new sense of freedom, and the importance that anxiety plays on helping us form our decisions.
