December CG Associates Session: Reflect and Refresh

For CG Associates members only

How has 2018 been for you and your practice? Did you make the work you wanted? Do you know what your next steps are?

After an intense year of Brexit farce, extreme weather and that perennial favourite, a royal wedding, we provide a welcome bit of stability and calm with a third and final midwinter Reflect and Refresh session. Join highly experienced strategist and artist mentor Susan Jones to take a step back, reflect on how much 2018 went to plan and plot a course for 2019. You will come away with seasonal gifts to yourself such as

• plans for the year ahead tailored to your own practice, approach and circumstances
• personalised New Year resolutions
• tips for keeping on track, assessing progress, and remaining positive and confident no matter what 2019 throws up

If you came to last year’s Reflect and Refresh session, please bring your year plan along and see how well it matched up to reality.
