The Hub
512 Main Street North R7N 1C9 Dauphin, MB, Canada

The first month of a new year is usually a time for planning and dreaming about the future. After all that 2020 threw our way, many of us are tiptoeing into 2021, cautious and unsure about how to plan with so much ongoing uncertainty. Before we open the doors to our annual Plan for Success program, we’re hosting a discussion session on tips for planning during a pandemic. Join us on Tuesday, January 19, 2021 on Zoom at 7:00 pm for a chat about ways to approach planning for 2021 with the current state of affairs and opportunities to participate in group planning sessions during the coming month.

The Hub hosted another Learn & Connect Session last night. What an energizing discussion it was! Big thanks to Lindsay Rubeniuk for leading us through an honest and insightful conversation about time management. We all have 168 in a week, what we choose to do with those hours is up to us! The first step to getting in control of your time is to be honest with yourself about where you are currently spending your time and to figure out what your non-negotiables are for each day. From there, time management becomes much more attainable! Our next Learn & Connect event will happen in February, keep an eye out for updates as it’s sure to be another great session!

Fear is what holds me back and what pushes me forward" The Hub hosted another Learn & Connect Session on December 9th. A truly inspiring discussion lead by Nicole Yunker took us deep into the fear experience and left us with some practical strategies for turning fear into a catalyst for joyful growth. A couple of key take-aways from the evening were: 1 You are BRAVE- own it & celebrate it.... 2 Identify what brings you joy. Integrate joy into your experience of fear. It will help you come back to the situation as a more effective problem solver. 3 Include others in your journey, people you know and people you’re meeting for the first time. Look for those who inspire, support, motivate, and challenge you. Take time to genuinely appreciate, acknowledge, and give gratitude for their feedback. 4 Keep track of and celebrate your progress so that you can see how far you've come. A BIG thanks to Nicole for sharing her story with us! Our next Learn & Connect event will happen in January, keep an eye out for updates as it’s sure to be another impactful session!
