  2. Online Workshop: Happy Success - how to create the career and life you actually want

    If you’ve ever felt like 'something always has to give’ (and it’s usually you and your needs) you’re not alone. Most women feel this way at some point, because what we’ve been taught about success, work-life balance, and how to achieve our goals is outdated (and wasn’t designed for us to actually thrive…)

    In this impact hour with Jodi Goldman, you will learn:

    • Why the idea of 'work-life balance’ actually keeps ambitious women stuck
    • The patterns quietly draining your progression and how to redefine ’success’ on your terms
    • 5-step D.R.E.A.M. Goal method that creates clarity, confidence and momentum - without burning you out.
