SUMMARY:Growth With Intention
DESCRIPTION:Ivette Mayo\, CEO of YoSoyIam LLC\, speaks on Growth with Intention on Sept. 14 at the Brownsville Events Center. \nAs much as you desire to get things done\, it seems difficult at times. You may feel weighed down by the uncertainty and constant change in the world. Even though you push forward\, you still lack the satisfaction one should feel when an important task is completed. Know that you are not alone in feeling this way. It is time to pivot and begin each day by setting an intention for your personal success. \nThis event is presented by AARP in Brownsville and the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce. It is free of charge and open to the community. \nRSVP by calling 1-877-926-8300 or online.
