WHO IS THIS FOR?

As a business owner or CEO, you may feel that:

👉 Your business is flat & unsustainable

👉 Change is needed to grow

👉 Your customers/clients are knowledgeable and demanding

👉 Your customers/clients are spoilt for choice of where to spend their money

👉 A high performing product or service is critical but is no longer enough…..

👉 Customers want to connect with brand and businesses they like, trust and feels ‘gets them’

👉 You need to think differently about planning particularly if you want long term, sustainable growth.

Why is balance so crucial?

Leading with your heart or gut alone can result in emotional, unsubstantiated decisions that exceed the risk appetite of your business. While these decisions may yield short-term gains, they often prove unsustainable and can have a detrimental effect on your business in the medium to long term.

On the other hand, relying solely on analytical thinking may lead to a lack of human connection, bottle-necked decisions and missed opportunities.

“The Head and Heart of Business” event will empower you to strike the perfect equilibrium between logic and emotion. You will learn how to make decisions that are not only data-driven and well-reasoned but also aligned with your brand’s essence and purpose.

What can you expect from “The Head and Heart of Business” event?

⭐ Learn the importance of a predictable, sustainable and practical plan

⭐ Unlock the Power of Critical Thinking

⭐ Connect and Collaborate with like minded professionals tackling the same growth challenges as you

⭐ Gain Expert Insights from seasoned industry leaders

Meet your Hosts, Sonya Furlong and Karen Matthews

Do you ever feel like you’re attracting negative outcomes in your relationships, career, or finances, but don’t know why? I know how you feel. I used to be lost and unhappy, feeling like I had no control over my life. 

Then I came across NLP & Matrix Therapies and it changed my life.

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a powerful approach to self-improvement, rooted in the science of psychology. With NLP, you’ll learn how to study and replicate successful behavior, empowering you to achieve your goals, both professional and personal.

And with Matrix Therapies, you can take your transformation to the next level. These processes help clear negative emotions and limiting beliefs, leaving you free to embrace positivity and reach your full potential.

By applying these techniques I was able to transform my life and career completely. I now have a happy marriage, a purposeful existence and a successful business. I invite you to join me to learn how to apply these techniques in your own life.
