Failure is inevitable. Luckily, it's a necessity for long-term success. This workshop will break down common misconceptions about ""working as hard as you can to accomplish your goals."" Participants will have the opportunity to practice concrete skills to prevent burnout and reframe their relationship to their ambitions. This workshop will be led by Writers Room’s Teaching Artist Gabriele Preston, a recent graduate of an “elite institution,” and Ms. Victoria, an elder who led a distinguished professional career before becoming a published author, who will share their own stories of failures and what followed as a starting point for the workshop.
