Why attend this workshop?

This workshop isn’t about subscription rates, AI strategies or the creator economy. It’s about you.

In an industry being reshaped by AI, the word human has never mattered more. Media companies champion human-led content and connection — but far less attention is paid to the humans doing the work.

It’s a lot, right?

Whether you’re a leader making tough calls or you’re the one dealing with the ripple effects of those rapid-fire decisions, the constant uncertainty takes its toll.

Even when you’re holding it together at work, stress can still affect your sleep, your home life and your health.

We can’t control what the industry does next. But we can control how we show up. This impacts everything. 

What you'll get

When you learn to work with change instead of fighting it, stress goes down — and creativity goes up. Energy shifts.

In this one-hour workshop, you’ll learn how the GRIT framework helps you stay calm, creative and collaborative – in an industry that never stops moving.

G – Grounded in Values

R – Recognise What You Can Control

I – Iterate & Adapt

T – Take Action

Rooted in psychology, neuroscience and lessons from elite sport, this session gives you practical tools you can start using straight away.

You'll learn

• What pressure does to your brain
• How to reframe stress as opportunity
