How to Brave Creativity and Turn Fear into Excitement with Naomi Vladeck

In this inspiring and impactful talk and interactive discussion, Naomi Vladeck illuminates what is possible when we use our creative skills to transform our fear into outcomes that excite us. 

Sharing stories from her own experience with big life change, and from artists she has interviewed, she explores what artists can teach us about activating the creative process inside of life's biggest changes.

If you are grappling with uncertainty, wanting to make a change or are in the midst of a transition of any kind, this event experience is for you!

You’ll leave with clarity about your relationship to change as well as the proof of your courage to take risks even when the path ahead is unclear.
