PRINCE GEORGE – Following the holiday break, the team at the Prince George Chamber of Commerce is getting back into the routine of work and family. But with the demands of both, it’s easy to follow old habits. The New Year is the perfect time to take a step back, and look at the bigger picture. In 2017, what do you really want? What will be the title of this ‘chapter’ in your life story?
This year, I want to live with less stress. It’s important that I maintain the fast pace and high demands of leading the Chamber, while at the same time, having the energy to be there for my family. From talking to friends and peers, it’s clear I’m not the only one trying to maintain work/life balance!
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed at the mere thought of setting goals. But, the rewards can be well worth the effort. A massive task seems easier, when you have a team to support you, every step of the way.
At the Chamber, I am proud to work alongside other dedicated working moms. We understand the many pressures of the job! That’s why we are as flexible as possible; we want to give each other the best chance for success in all aspects of life.
In fact, part of the Chamber’s mission is to “Drive positive change in our community.” That’s why we have decided to sponsor ‘Ignite 2017.’ January 14, this conference will bring together an array of experts, including counselors, life coaches, spiritual teachers and financial advisors.
Together, they want to help you set yourself up for success. They’ll teach you when to say ‘yes’ (and when to say ‘no!’). Workshops will help you set tangible, measureable goals, and build momentum all year long.
Ignite is also a perfect opportunity to meet other go-getters like you! Make yourself a priority, by setting aside one day to lead yourself down the path to success. If you will be in Prince George Saturday, January 14, we would love to see you there!
