This week’s theme: Reinvention
“I think everyone has reinvented themselves at some point. And if they haven’t, they should.” From our guest expert today, Dawn Penfold. Reinvention is about consciously looking at what you want and how you need to become to get there. The actual definition is ‘the action or process through which something is changed so much that it appears to be entirely new.’ With all the changes in the world, the ability we have to reinvent ourselves and our future is required!
From Fear to Fire: Secrets to Overcome Fear, Embrace your Gifts and Achieve Success

Today we talk about the power of reinvention.
