About this event
As the nights get longer and darker, let’s be honest – Who has not had at least one day where staying under the duvet and telling the world to go away has not been the one option that far outweighs the other 30 on the to do list?!
As speakers we are expected to be up-beat, inspirational, positive….but this can be a tall order.
So what do we do at the PSA??
We learn from the best, pick up hints and tips from those who are experts in their field.
And this is what we have for you at our November gathering: Two people that will inspire you to not only get out from under the duvet but start shining as soon as your feet hit the floor!!
Darren Harris: Keynote

The takeaways you will leave with include:
- Two types of obstacles that stand between you and your goal.

- The lifestyle practices that prevent burnout and improve well-being.
