In this workshop, we're talking conflict management, and better decision making. Through years of working in the entertainment industry and mentoring teams, we'll show you some of what goes into successful collaborations, and how to recognize red flags. Rejection and conflict are two things that many of us struggle with, but it's a necessary part of life and there are ways to make it easier on yourself and so you can continue professional relationships in the future. Join us as we walk you through how to save yourself time and stress, by learning when to say yes, and when to say no.
Invites are sent directly to members of the Transmedia Zone and the TZ Student League. If you're a student and want to take part in these events, join our Student League to get your invite!
