Overview
In this return to Kim Alpert’s visionary keynote, Why Would You Can’t?, Alpert explores navigating a creative career with a new decade of lessons and laughter. In the talk we’ll dive into the thing that most often holds us back. It isn’t a temporary creative block, lack of opportunity or lazy collaborators. We’ve seen the enemy, and it is us. Kim Alpert, award winning artist and creative strategist, will explore and expose the ridiculousness of subjectively deciding your own limits and forging your path. Through personal stories, from project mishaps, bad fit gigs, and difficult clients to agoraphobia, panic attacks, and personal losses, Alpert will illustrate how a “Why Would You Can’t” approach calls bullshit on seemingly intractable creative limitations. Outcomes can be shaped by your approach and how to have one that’s unafraid of deadlines and unapologetic about our own personal needs.
