Wisdom In Action
To coincide with the re-launch of the chamber's Business Women's Network, Wisdom In Action is hosting an innovative and experiential workshop called 'New Beginnings'
We all encounter change points in our lives, such as setting up a new business, starting a new job, having a baby. At the beginning, we may doubt our judgment and ability. This workshop is an opportunity to recognise what we are doing well and to build on it. Do The Scaling Walk with us and see where it takes you…
