So much of who we are is connected to our career identities. As a whole, we tend to underestimate the influence our career has on our overall wellbeing. When we are disconnected from work—particularly careers that give our lives meaning—it is actually normal to lose hope, feel overwhelmed and experience job search fatigue. For many performing arts and entertainment professionals currently out-of-work in both their primary discipline and other streams of income it is compounded.

Join us for an in-depth conversation on career uncertainty in a COVID-19 economy and learn how you can harness your creative skills, tap into your natural resiliency and breathe new life into your career. 

When: Wednesday, July 15, 2:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. CT / 11:30 p.m. PT
