How to navigate the ‘No’s or Not Yet’s’ with Nathan Powell

The creative industry is full of incredible opportunities and sometimes, we’re seen for an audition or interview to possibly do them. This also means that sometimes it doesn’t go our way.

Receiving no’s or not-yets are a big part of our lives as creatives. Navigating not landing a job is an ongoing process, we grieve a little and then bounce back and onto the next opportunity.

This session aims to explore how to better understand the way we deal with things not working out and how it is not a personal reflection of our talent, skills or work effort, but is often rooted in something way beyond our control.

What we can control is how we look after ourselves when we’ve not been chosen this time.
