GEW - Free classes to learn & grow your business skills


Hi Reader,

Have you heard of Global Entrepreneurship Week (or GEW)? It's a free educational conference that happens every November on all things business ownership and being your own boss.

So of course my business owner friends should make plans to attend! But even if you don't have a business or side hustle, there are networking events & skills classes that could help anyone.

And I'm teaching two such classes at GEWKC!


It's Smart, Not Selfish! (How to establish boundaries to get your own work done)
Tuesday, Nov. 14
3-4p
Bank Midwest
, 1100 Northwest South Outer Road, Blue Springs

Find yourself too busy helping your employees or coworkers or putting out fires to get your own work done? In this class, we’ll discuss a step by step process for carving out time for your work priorities. You’ll have time in class to make your own personalized plan, and we’ll do a bit of role playing to practice holding our boundaries around that plan.

Attendees must confirm attendance via Eventbrite for free tickets due to limited seating (max. 12).


60 Second Self Care at Work
Wednesday, Nov. 15
11:15a-12:15p
PlexPod Westport

Self care has become a buzz word that’s often used to sell us expensive or time-consuming products. The truth is, self care IS important, but it doesn’t have to be pricey or take a huge chunk of your day to be effective. Before you give up on self care because you can’t afford a fancy spa day or find the time for a luxury vacation, come to this session to learn and practice multiple ways to make time for self care during your busy work day. You’ll also leave with a list of over 60 free or low-cost ideas for self care.


Again, all the classes and events are free to attend so I hope to see you at GEWKC in a couple weeks! It's a great resource in our community, so take advantage of it if you can.

Check out gewkc.com for the full schedule of events & to register for classes you want to attend!

Breathe deep. Drink plenty of water. You got this!

Happy Monday Reader! Well, last week kicked my butt! I'm still adjusting to my new schedule, and it's been more of a struggle than I expected! I didn't write out my week in my planner like I usually do, and that came back to bite me in the ass. I managed my time pretty poorly...which feels like a shameful thing to admit as your time creation coach! But as I encourage my clients to give themselves grace when they mess up, and to look at it as information, I can do the same for myself. "I am...

A forest filled with lots of trees under a cloudy sky

Happy Monday Reader! What does your body need right now? We're officially in the fall season in the northern hemisphere. The days are getting shorter. The temps are cooling down. (In the mornings, at least! It still hit high 80s over the weekend here in KC.) With all these changes, do you need to pay a bit more attention to what your body or mind is craving right now? "It is safe to listen to my body." When I get busy, it's easy to stop listening. The things that recharge me best--art,...

A blurry photo of a forest in the fog

Happy Monday Reader! We're revisiting an oldie but a goodie this week, because I have some big news: last week I started a new part time job! Rest assured, I am not closing my coaching business. I have existing contracts I am committed to and I really enjoy the work. It's all the other stuff that started to wear me down. I woke up one morning at the end of the summer and wondered when I would look forward to starting my day & working in my business. And then I realized with a bit of shock...
