G.R.I.T. or Get Out: The Untaught Craft of Creative Endurance

Tuesday 23 June, 17:30–18:30

Duration: 1 hour
Location: Campus Stage , Rotonde

Description:

Creative talent isn’t rare. Staying power is.

The industry will take your weekends, demand your soul, count your Lions and then ask “what’s next?” until you burn out, tap out or age out. So why aren’t we trained for it?

Drawing from a ten-year mentor–mentee relationship, a Mindpower Coach and a Creative Director dissect the same high-pressure moments from opposite sides of the table: when feedback stings, confidence wavers, and quitting feels easier than staying. Together they present the G.R.I.T. Factor: a framework that separates the people who last from the people who don’t.

This is the sh*t they don’t teach you in ad school.

Questions this session will answer:

  • What separates the creatives that last from the creatives that don't?
  • Can you go all in without burning out?
  • How do you train your mind to become the ultimate weapon against the machine?

Editor's note

Calling All Young Lions! This session has been crafted for the young marketers and creatives in the industry.
