Overview: Many women get stuck in their careers by working hard at their jobs, but not realizing that success is not just about the work. In this workshop Patty Azzarello will share the things no one else is telling you, that you need to do differently to DO Better, LOOK Better, and Connect Better. Success requires all three, not in sequence or isolation, but in combination - miss any one of these and you can fall behind, or get stuck.
This will be a highly engaging and useful session. You will leave with big insights and a personal action plan to get more of what you want from the hard work you do, while staying true to yourself and your values.
Abstract: I DO WHAT I LOVE TO DO...AND I'M A GIRL! is a journey through Golden Globe and Oscar winning director and writer Brenda Chapman's education and career, and a humorous account of how she thrived in a male-dominated world. As director and writer of Pixar/Disney's 3D computer animated film, "Brave", Brenda will discuss how the influences of her mother, her daughter, and her male mentors, helped to shape her career. She will also talk about the different perspectives she brought to the films she worked as the only woman in the story department at both Disney and Pixar and how the technical requirements of a computer animated feature worked together with her creative vision.
