Imagine you are ready to change your moment. The trouble is that you can’t seem to get to the one thing that’s most important because you’re busy, tired, don’t know where to start or you doubt if you even have it in you. The problem isn’t you; the problem is the problem. This 45-minute hybrid presentation will lay down the foundation to take you from “here’s what I want to do” to “here’s what I did.” Join Bassam Tarazi's "Getting Things Done in a World That Doesn’t Want You To" talk on Wed., February 26. Advanced registration is recommended.
