Do you hate being late, but it just keeps happening? In this brilliantly funny and original talk, Grace Pacie, a self-confessed Timebender, offers ground-breaking answers to this perennial problem. Grace uses cartoons to explain her insights into Timebending; the Secret Scale of Acceptable Lateness; and the 7 strange subconscious patterns which make people late; sharing her tried and tested tips and tricks for being on time. You’ll learn why the No.1 solution chosen by partners has exactly the opposite effect; and in a final twist, discover that there may be a positive side to a Timebending habit.
