Can you do it all? Finding focus for the new year.

As creatives we can run into the issue of having too many ideas- they can pile up and go from very inspiring and exciting to overwhelming and daunting. It can be a painful rollercoaster. The question is do you need to limit yourself and focus on only one thing? (and how do you choose?) or do you have ways to balance them out and not get stuck in the downward spiral of overwhelm?

The thing is that it is easy to get stuck in feeling like a failure or undisciplined- like you don't have any follow through and those ideas that had great potential end of feeling lifeless. This can be very bad for self-esteem not to mention momentum and focus.

I am leading a Meetup for Women artists to talk about this- please come!

December 10, 2:30-4
Amherst, MA- get the location when you register below!
​
Lets share our experience about how we get ourselves directed and what we do with all the ideas. Then name some of our individual options and start to get focussed on how we want to proceed into the new year!


You can expect that the first hour will be a focused discussion (you may even want to take notes!) and then there will be some time for mingling.

I'll make it a safe confidential space for sharing. I'll bring my coaching skills to make it a meaningful group conversation.

I should also be clear that there will be no sales or pressure of any kind at the gathering, though I will be happy to answer questions about upcoming offerings. This is a learning opportunity for all of us.


There is a 14 person max at this location. So please register early and let me know if you are not able to- [email protected].

Please note that there is a suggested donation of $10. I do not want to exclude any one who wants to be there, so please know it really is optional. There will be a basket. I am hoping to offset some of the cost of our meeting space, administrative time and Meetup fees.

If you are not registered as a meetup member- you will need to do that first. There is no fee- it is just a way to keep things organized.
