INSPIRATION. COMMUNITY. IDEAS. + INSPIRATION. COMMUNITY. IDEAS.

Many of us are sitting in a chair of discontent. We are stuck in the messy middle and don’t know how to move into our next season, wheter it be in our personal life, the goals of our organization, or in the next aspirational venture. We all have dreams that we don’t know how to achieve. What is that plan to get from where we currently are to where we hope to be?

Plywood Presents: Here to There will cause you to:

Consider how failure will fuel your future.
Identify the barriers that hold us back.
Begin to dream again for what is next.
Find a community that will keep you accountable.

Set clear and achievable goals.
Process the power of resilience.
Learn from stories of growth through grief, pain and set backs.
Gain clarity on what you want.
