How To Be An Empowered Journalist – And Set Yourself Up For Career Success!

Wed 29 Oct 2025 5:30 PM - Tue 4 Nov 2025 11:45 PM GMT Online, Zoom

This event has now happened — tickets are being offered as a watch back and you will be sent a recording.

Are you feeling the sting of rejection while searching for your next journalism job? Or, are you looking to find the courage to embark on a freelance career? If so, it's time to get clear on what you're looking to achieve, bolster your resilience, and set yourself up to thrive in the competitive media landscape!

Join journalist and coach Geoff Poulton for a new workshop on how to become a resilient journalist – whether you're looking for your dream staff role or dipping your toes into going freelance. We'll cover:

  • Identifying your USP – values, passions, and your vision for the future;
  • How to overcome internal resistance and take the actions you want;
  • How to maintain confidence after professional ghosting and job rejection;
  • Setting boundaries with both yourself and clients;
  • Being proactive in your career and why courage comes before confidence;
  • The importance of creating community and why networking needn't be scary. 

As with all our events, there will also be the chance to ask your own questions both live and in advance.

Want to see this and every other event we run for just £6.99 a month? Become a Journo Resources member here and help us in our mission to build a better journalism industry.

Types Of Ticket

Live Ticket: Select a live ticket if you'd like to watch the session live. You'll receive a Zoom link to join when you order. Don't worry if your plans change though – we will also send you a copy of the recording and session notes via email. This is normally 24-48 hours after the session to allow time for us to edit the recording.

Watch Back / Recorded: If you just want to watch back, please select a recorded ticket. This allows us to keep a handle on numbers and make sure we have enough seats around our virtual table. Again, no worries if you change your mind, you will still be sent the Zoom link, so no need to let us know if your plans change. You will typically be sent the recording 24-48 hours after the live session, to give our team time to edit.
