"Naviguer sur la vague du changement " 

Speaker: Maryse Audet, conférencière, auteure X3 et formatrice

Rien n’est permanent…sauf le changement ! Vous avancez en espérant que tout soit constant alors qu’un événement déclencheur vous pousse à vivre un changement, votre cerveau passe alors par toute une gamme d’émotions. Pour accéder à cette transformation et éviter de faire du sur place, chaque étape est essentielle même lorsque c’est chaotique. Apprenez à composer et à accueillir les changements. Souvenez-vous que lorsqu’une porte se ferme, une autre s’ouvre!
