Happy 2022 and I hope you are all well and ready for a great year.
There is no doubt that 2021 helped us build resilience, and the first few weeks of 2022 have reminded us to expect
the unexpected.
Building on that, I have decided that my personal theme for 2022 will be to nurture a growth mindset. By the conclusion of the year, I’m hoping that this will help me to develop a ‘sixth sense’ allowing me to identify opportunities where most would only discover obstacles.
In 2022, we are excited to be hosting a variety of amazing events, including renowned ecopsychologist Mark Mathieson who’s focusing on execution, futurist Sarah Owen who will blow our minds with insights into emerging trends, and social entrepreneur, Daniel Flynn who will take us on a journey of how to
overcome what appears to be insurmountable obstacles to become a success.
We also have some social events locked in including our popular member connect dine-around, as well as 0ur iFly indoor flying family event which is a truly unique experience for everyone to try.
Our Board made the decision in January to post-pone our Chapter Retreat as we were conscious that our members and speakers were concerned about the impact the pandemic was having on their personal and business lives.
The aim of the retreat was to ensure we could gather a significant percentage of our members to create memorable connections, fun and learnings. We will re-set and plan for an even bigger and better event with details to follow in due course.
I would encourage you all to look out for our regular communications regarding upcoming events and make an effort to attend as many as possible.
True transformation comes from the effort you put into continuously improving yourself so please make the most of your involvement in EO. I hope to see you at an event in person soon.
