About this session

If you are having trouble focusing amongst everything happening in the world today, find yourself cleaning your closet to avoid sifting through LinkedIn for a hint at what you should be doing for a living, or just think it would be so be nice if you could just watch Billions in peace knowing your career planning was on track, you are not alone! We'll be sharing tips and tactics for how to stay reset and stay motivated throughout the rest of 2020. You’ll learn skills to stay motivated in even the most annoying of times.

You will walk away from this chat with:

  • Some of our favorite tips on how to keep the motivation up through the bad news
  • How to effectively network to avoid getting bogged down by endless connections that don't seem to get anywhere
