- Grief & Work: How to Use Sadness To Your Advantage:
No matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to separate our personal lives from our work. Phone calls from home. Emails from friends. Disagreements with our spouses. Despite the mini-intrusions, we are usually quite adept at making sure none of it throws us off task. But, somehow, the way we handle grief is completely different. Grief tends to knock us off course, push us to distraction, and block our productivity. In this talk, Emmy award-winning journalist and author Allison Gilbert teaches us how grief can fuel creativity, become the catalyst for pursuing a new career, and be the springboard for amazing opportunity and unexpected change.
