Building Creative Resilience: maintain inspiration and overcome isolation

For freelancers + solo-founders alike, develop the tools to help keep the love for your craft alive + loneliness at bay when you work alone

About this event

Navigating the creative seas can be a lonely journey sometimes, in this session solo-founder, producer and creative mentor, Emma Alexander, shares tools to help maintain inspiration and keep the creative fires burning when working alone.

From developing your network, to establishing patterns of accountability, she will show you how to keep the love for your craft alive and loneliness at bay.

But don’t take our word for it, here’s what other attendees have to say:

“An excellent virtual workshop! Such fab new ideas for how to work alone and still stay inspired! I loved that it was broken down into 5 areas and you shared a wealth of expertise and knowledge that felt achievable.”

“Brilliant presentation, really inspiring! Thank you!”

“An excellent presentation with so many valuable tips, thank you!”

17th May is the start of UK Learning at Work week. When you work predominantly by, or for, yourself it can feel like you’re missing out on some of the training and upskilling that our pals on PAYE get access to. This is why Mother Bran are hosting a week of free events specifically designed for creative career development.
