Beyond “Prove Your Value”: Discussion and group coaching sessions

Join Sara Wachter-Boettcher on Wednesday, October 18, to discuss the topics in her recent article, “Hey designers, they're gaslighting you.”

GROUP COACHING SESSIONS

Three session times to choose from:
1:30pm, 2:30pm, or 3:30pm ET

Earlier this month, Sara published a new article: “Hey designers, they're gaslighting you.” And judging by the chaos in her inbox ever since, it resonated with a lot of you. 

So we’re hosting a series of pay-what-you-wish sessions to discuss the article and your responses to it—and to offer some coaching to support you through the challenges you face. 

What to expect 

Each session is capped at 14 people for a more intimate conversation. During the session, you will: 

  • Reflect on what the article brought up for you, and hear others’ reactions.

  • Get coaching from Sara on topics like setting boundaries, deepening your internal validation skills, and reframing your value at work.   

  • Uncover the shifts in mindset, work habits, and relationships you need to make work more sustaining and less draining. 

  • Connect with likeminded people who are figuring out the same things as you. 

You’ll leave with new connections, new ways to move forward, and a lot more hope.

Register for a session

This is a pay-what-you-wish event, with a suggested payment of $15. If you are unemployed or facing financial hardship, please feel free to register for the minimum donation of $1.
