Claiming Your Voice: Being Fully Expressed In Your Entertainment Career

Feeling that others don’t really get where you’re coming from? Not quite sure how to be clear about what you want? Unsure how to communicate what’s really on your mind?

This interactive workshop with Career Coach/Talent Agent Consultant/Writers Guild Foundation Workshop Facilitator Jim Arnoff will give you the coaching tools and skills to articulate your true voice, embrace that voice and make the strongest connections possible. We’ll break down those barriers—shyness, self-judging, fear of being judged—that get in the way of speaking with strength and conviction. This workshop is about communicating effortlessly, powerfully and honoring your inner wisdom.

Workshop starts at 4:00pm Pacific time.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us at events@wgfoundation.org.

To encourage attendees’ open participation, we will not be recording this workshop.
