Who Are You Meant to Be?

It is said that at the moment of your birth you have an awareness of your potential and an idea of who you are meant to be. In the next moment, this awareness disappears into the unconscious where it becomes our task to uncover it during our lifetime.

Discover your predominant need that must be met in order for you to feel secure and achieve your potential. All too often, we remain unaware of what our built-in needs are and, as a result, they go unmet. We are then at the mercy of our unconscious impulses, emotions and habits of mind. We end up repeating longstanding patterns that get in the way of achieving our goals or creating the life of happiness and satisfaction we want.

In this highly interactive networking event, participants will connect with others who share the same predominant need based on their Striving Style. You will learn how its innate needs and emotional drives dictate your behaviour – personally and professionally. You will find out how to fully leverage your brain’s hard-wiring to achieve your potential and become who you were meant to be.
