Who's leading this workshop?

This session will be led by Annie Bell, time management and mindset coach. Annie is an ex-time-blocker and multi-tasker obsessed with helping people cut the noise, uncover what it is THEY really want, and not be held back by the confronting thoughts & feelings that are going to come up when we do something so brave and bold as to work for ourselves.
