1:00 pm – 2:00 pm         Capture Your Confidence - Whitney Abraham, Entrepreneur, Business Coach, Author and Speaker

Do you have larger than life goals? A desire to be fulfilled with where you are in your life and business?

But you struggle with knowing where to start, and whether you’ll be able to pull off those lofty goals? Our presenter will share the formula for Confidence in ALL areas - and the steps you need to take to accelerate success and growth. You’ll address the fears holding you back from doing the things you know will move you forward. You’ll identify the personal core values that will guide the strategies you use to accomplish your goals. You’ll create a roadmap with actionable steps that will see you through the process of realizing your dreams. So many of us jump into life and business, without strategy – Capture your Confidence is just that – a strategy to excel in all things, confidently.
