Date: Saturday 14 May 2022
Times: 2pm-4pm BST
Have you ever felt stuck in your career, afraid of what the road ahead might be? Many of us lose confidence, and falling victim to imposter syndrome is common, especially when the world around us is always changing. Determining the route back to success can be difficult, and often requires careful thought and consideration.
Psychotherapist Sarah McCaffrey from Solas Mind, and Alison Grade, author of The Freelance Bible, lead this highly actionable workshop that can help you to navigate this journey. Under their expert guidance, you will discover what is most important to you and what might be holding you back.
This class will invite you to explore your own thinking patterns, and you will learn how they’re formed, and how negative patterns can be reformed to aid - rather than debilitate - your plans for the future. Making a change can be nerve-racking but it is also essential to achieving your success in your career. Sarah and Alison will teach you practical ways of protecting yourself from self-doubt and strategies for avoiding burn out.
If you are considering a change in your career, this masterclass will enable you to gain greater clarity around your next steps, and to help you feel more confident in your decisions.
