Description

♥♥Repurpose Your Purpose offers these panel discussion events as a gift to all career changers. If you love what we do, please consider supporting this community get together by contributing financially when you RSVP ♥♥

Let's face it - YOU ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. You need to be creative at work, there is nothing you dread more than a routine job that is the same, day in and day out. You need to create something, anything: a piece of art, a beautiful product, an effective course, a new way to approach life, anything! But how is a creative person supposed to make a living? When you look up jobs online, all you see is an endless list of tasks that don't appeal to you at all. And when you google what you would love to do, the average salary listed would barely feed you for a few months in LA. Ugh.

Join Repurpose Your Purpose on October 2nd for an in-depth discussion about what it's like to take the leap and change careers as a CREATIVE PERSON. Whether you are a visual artist, a performer, or someone who just likes to be creative at work, this event is for you.

I have some good and bad news: the bad news is that you might have to take the leap and start your own business. Or be brave and go for the higher position - the one where you get to call the shots. Or you might need to build a creative practice on the side. The good news is that you will enjoy your life so much more when you actually get to use your creativity at work!

How to CHANGE CAREERS: CREATIVE PEOPLE edition!

Repurpose Your Purpose is a program to help you figure out what to do professionally and support you while you go for it! Founder Aurora Meneghello's career advice has been featured on CNBC, Glassdoor Blog, Bustle Magazine, and more.

ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A LIVING DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE?
No BS, no fluff, come ready to:

  • Learn how to find a fulfilling career that WORKS FOR YOU
  • LEARN FROM SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGERS who already took the leap - and landed successfully
  • CONNECT with like minded professionals and entrepreneurs
  • PANEL TALK + AUDIENCE Q&A + START EXPLORING YOUR OWN CAREER CHANGE:
  • How to EMBRACE your creativity and what makes you "different" instead of feeling down or stuck about it
  • How to LEARN the business and marketing skills you need to succeed
  • How to CHOOSE what to pursue: a job? A business? An online business?
  • How to SHIFT your view of yourself, your community and the world to feel like you belong

Our four panelists all took a big leap and made dramatic career changes and will share what they learned on the journey. Feel inspired, get new insights, and find a community of Repurposers to pursue your dreams with.

Psst: This is NOT going to be your typical panel discussion

Meet the panelists:

MANNY FRAGELUS worked in the animation industry for over 18 years at various studios and production companies. After running his own animation studio for 5 years, he founded CG Master Academy (CGMA) which quickly became a leading online digital arts school. CGMA sets itself apart providing students from all over the world access to top quality professionals that work at major studios such as Pixar, Disney, and Dreamworks Animation, to learn concept art, illustration, and entertainment design directly from the masters.

ANNA MCNAUGHT turned her passion for graphic design and photography into a business. After mastering Instagram, she founded The Liked Photo to offer easy-to-learn instructions and insider strategies for growing your business and taking your Instagram to the next level. Not only her dream of working independently took off and she was able to quit her job and travel, she is now also an Instagram influencer with over 100K followers!

ANGELA MONTANO was a broadcast journalist with a great career when she felt a calling to help others. She followed her heart - even though it seemed crazy at the time! - and devoted herself to sharing the utterly transformative power of prayer from a perspective that is spiritual, not religious. She completely transformed her life and career and is now an international spiritual coach and prayer counselor. Her online course to ReThink Prayer has been taken by more than 13K people.

You might have had the pleasure to see BRENDAN HUGHES perform here in LA: his lectures on topics such as mediocrity or irony are equal part super smart and incredibly funny. Brendan gets to combine his passion for theater and storytelling with his artistic abilities in his role as Creative Director at Hairpin / HHD while also building a career as performer and speaker. Listening to Brendan, not only we are going to learn a lot about building a career as a creative, but we are sure to be entertained in the process!
