Find Your Focus: A Critic-Free Approach to Writing for Work (and for Life)

How often do you sit down to write something and…then get up to do something else? Our days are built for distraction, and even when we can find some quiet, our inner critic makes it impossible to hear ourselves think.

Join Emerson alum Terri Trespicio, author of Unfollow Your Passion, for a special 90-minute writing workshop that’s unlike any other you’ve experienced: No criticism, no judgment, no fixing. You’ll learn a fresh, positive, craft-centered approach to writing designed to free your genius so the words pour out (regardless of what you need them for!).
