DESCRIPTION:Money is a topic that can be complex for many people\, especially in business where you’re the one setting pricing. Even if you’re doing work you love and getting paid for it\, if your pricing isn’t right\, there’s still going to be that voice in your head that says “your gifts have a higher value than what you are currently being compensated for.” \nThis lunch and learn provides strategies to feel more confident and courageous around all this “money and worth stuff”.
