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.

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.
