What Do You Do? A workshop focused on crafting YOUR story


So, what do you do?


We all hate this question! But why?


A few reasons: You worry that you'll be misunderstood, underestimated, or judged…that you'll come off as salesy or self-interested. Or that you'll just stumble over your words and bore everyone to death.


What if talking about what you do (or want to do) felt… easier, more authentic, less awkward?


You don't need a tagline or a canned pitch. The answer is to shift your perspective so that you can see, and communicate, your work in a way that people get.


Join WEN NNE and Terri Trespicio who will guide us in an experiential workshop centered on YOUR story.

During this workshop, you'll learn new ways to…


Tell your story

  • Quiet the internal critic
  • Discover new connections in your work—and new ways of talking about it
  • Reframe conversations so that they feel like invitations, rather than judgments
  • Feel more confident about what you have to share, to make conversations and networking easier and more fun


...Plus—have the opportunity to share your work and get live feedback!
