<b> Skillshare: Overcoming Procrastination, Perfectionism, Blocks and Fears</b><br>The NonProfit Center, downtown Boston<br>Presented by Hillary Rettig, author of "The Lifelong Activist: How to Change the World Without
Losing Your Way."<br> After the workshop, participants typically feel
energetic and empowered and eager to go home and make some of the
changes we’ve discussed. Many later report making more progress on their
goals than they have in a long time. <br>
