You’ll leave with a better understanding of the impacts of job loss, new strategies for how to become resilient and move forward, and a chance to connect with others going through a similar experience.

✨WHAT TO EXPECT

✔️ We’ll identify the impacts of job loss and how it affects your day-to-day life in ways you may not expect.

✔️ We’ll acknowledge the importance of grieving and taking time to pause, reflect, and re-evaluate prior to jumping into action.

✔️ You’ll learn strategies for how to cope and build resilience while also setting an intention for hope and optimism in your new job search.

✔️ You’ll have the opportunity to share what you’ve found to be helpful as you navigate a layoff and hear from other people in the group.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
