About this event

Quitting carries a lot of stigma and shame in society, with connotations of “failure” or “not being able to stick it out” prevailing. Sayings such as “Quitters never win” have tricked us into believing that maintaining the status quo is always the “right” thing to do—or is the less risky choice. In fact, in life, it’s a risk if you do AND it’s a risk if you don’t.

Quitting is a choice—but so is not quitting.

Join us for a conversation about how to quit the things that aren’t serving you and make greater progress toward what you want in life.
