Closing Remarks
Sunday, 8/15: VIP Mindset & Integration Mastermind
When you attend a conference and get loads of great clinical pearls, do you immediately find ways to digest and implement them in a coherent way? Even great information can seem overwhelming when you are returning to the “real life” busy, post-conference! If you’ve struggled to convert great ideas and strategies into growing your purpose-aligned practice, spend your Sunday morning with us! Invest time immediately following the conference to strategically explore what you’ve taken away from this year’s conference, identify any limiting beliefs/mindset, and insure that this year is truly more functional by the time you leave Asheville. Only available for the first 25 NCIMS Members who sign up for this special integration session.
