In this session the participants will delve into two pivotal areas aimed at empowering their professional journey:

1. Skills Recognition and Description:

The art of identifying and articulating your diverse skill set with clarity and confidence is achieved through interactive exercises and guided self-reflection. Participants will learn how to pinpoint their own strengths, competencies, and unique abilities. We will uncover hidden talents and gain insight into effectively translating our artistic and creative skills into a language accessible to collaborators, partners, or clients from diverse backgrounds beyond the realms of art and culture.

2. Communicating Skills and Expertise Beyond the Fields of Art and Culture:

Effective collaboration and partnerships often require bridging the gap between the language of art and the vernacular of other industries. In this webinar, we will explore strategies for communicating your expertise to potential collaborators from fields outside of art and culture. From refining our message to adapting your portfolio for different audiences, this segment will equip you with the tools to effectively convey the value of your artistic and creative skills in any professional setting.
