YWiB Toronto invites you to join us to an exciting and interactive 2-in-1 workshop this May 28th! In it, a KonMari Certified Consultant and a certified Change and Leadership Coach, will teach you proven self-management tools and strategies to help you achieve your personal and professional goals.

Do you want to bring back that joyful spring into your step, and learn how to maintain it - for good?
