Quit your job: And other sage advice from a recently reformed workaholic.

New Week! New Night! The return of a favorite venue!

Career coaches are said to provide significant tangible and intangible benefits for individuals and organizations—Carrie Fleck Walters is not one of these people. What she can do is tell you about her recent decision to reevaluate her career and redefine her meaning of success.

Carrie originally left the ad world in 2006 to start her own design firm which she grew into an award-winning branding agency and product line. Following a brief transition into the corporate world with a former agency client, Carrie decided to go back to basics and return to life as a solo designer.

There will be a Q & A session where Carrie promises to answer things like “Do you play basketball?” and, “What was one of the biggest mistakes you ever made while running your own business?”

The evening promises to include prizes and swearing. The prizes will be worth it, and all swear jar proceeds will go to the SPCA.

We'll meet up on Wednesday, May 14 at 804RVA, and we'll be kicking things off at 6pm. See you then!
