National Press Club Journalism Institute sponsors conversation about separating your job from your self-worth
For many, journalism is not just a job; it is a calling and the high intensity nature of the work of a journalist often means that our job becomes a central part of our identity.
Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute at noon ET on Friday, Feb. 16, for a conversation with a journalist and a psychologist on managing your career in a time of media turmoil. Registration is open.
In this free, 45-minute webinar, explore how to disentangle your identity and feelings of self-worth from work, as well as questions to ask yourself as you think about your journalism career in the short and long term.
Participants should learn:
- How to know when passion for your work crosses into overtaking your identity
- How to cope with the personal pain of a layoff and questions to ask yourself in the time after
- How to manage the potential of burnout due deadlines and media turmoil
- Where to find resources for support, whether it is a career coach, a therapist or a support network
Speakers:
- Dr. Janna Koretz, psychologist and the founder of Azimuth
- Kate Woodsome, journalist and filmmaker
