These doubts can halt projects in mid-stream and cause you to pass on opportunities for which you are tailor-made.

NOTE: Athena is filling in for the session previously scheduled for this slot, “The Best Shape of Your Life: Finding the Ideal Memoir Structure from Breathtaking Beginning to Unforgettable End” (presented by Elane Johnson and Hess Ulrich). We’re wishing Hess a speedy recovery, and hope to see these two loyal HippoCamp’ers in 2020!
