    Presenter: Mindi Huebner

    Title: Mastering Your Mindset and Identity for Success

    Mindset and Identity are always at play and yet we consistently try to will power or muscle our way to a goal. This is not a sustainable plan. Understanding how to master your mindset and identity will allow you to release the habits that keep you feeling stuck, while creating more possibilities for your success.

    This workshop is for you if:

    • you’ve set goals and not achieved them
    • you've ever made a plan to start a new habit and couldn’t figure out how to stick to it
    • you've ever found yourself overworking, overthinking or self-criticizing

    In this workshop, you'll explore the difference between mindset and identity—and why it matters. You'll gain insight into how your brain filters information and learn to recognize subconscious signs of self-sabotage, along with strategies for change.

    About Our Presenter: 

    Mindi Huebner is an intuitive mindset mastery expert, certified NLP practitioner, and clinical hypnotherapist dedicated to equipping high-achieving women entrepreneurs to unlock their 24 Karat Success.
