Congratulations – you’ve landed an Assistant job in animation! Whether you’re an Executive Assistant, Production Assistant, or Writer’s Assistant, you are probably working toward a dream. I know from experience that sometimes that dream can feel distant: maybe your daily tasks don’t seem related to your passions; perhaps you feel “stuck” and unable to make greater impact; or sometimes you feel that anything less than perfection will ruin your chances of success.

In this Circle, we will explore how to leverage your role as an Assistant as a true growth opportunity rather than a means to an end. We will cover topics ranging from administrative efficiency to preparing yourself to be an effective leader. You will learn methods for navigating difficult conversations and making lasting connections. Hopefully, you will be able to take these tools and apply them immediately to your job.

In your sessions, you will meet accomplished professionals who have worked their way up from Assistants to be Executives, Producers, Writers, Artists, Editors, and more. You will also be given a space to learn from and constructively challenge your peers. We will leave our egos at the door and embrace diversity of thought and approaches. There is no single way of finding success – this is all about unlocking your way.

If this sounds interesting to you, I look forward to seeing your application!
