These 1-hour sessions are perfectly timed to fit into your lunch break, providing a convenient opportunity to learn about the latest tips, trends, and technologies in marketing.
Day in and day out, we’re expected to produce more with less, all while those sneaky Creative Bandits threaten our time, energy, and focus — not to mention rob our joy. This impending pressure and perpetual race against the clock often leads to less impactful work and erodes our sense of purpose.
And left unchecked, this is all a recipe for frustration and burnout.
Yet, even within the high demands of our work environments, there are steps you can take each day to regain a sense of control.
Through this inspiring session, you’ll discover ways to refocus your time and energy to quickly identify and mitigate the Creative Bandits.
You’ll learn practical tools to move out of the reactive churn-and-burn ways of working to show up each day more focused, intentional, and confident.
