Self-employment on the Road to Self-actualization
Join us Thursday, June 22, for a talk by Becky Luening, sole proprietor of a home-based graphic design and editing service called Becky Luening Book Arts. Drawing from personal and professional life experience, Becky will lay out her unique philosophy of what we call “work” and tell how following her heart and choosing to be a free agent at a young age set her on a path of self-development that continues to this day. She will also share some of the basic business tips she has picked up along the way.
