**Finding Your True North**
**Personal Branding & Staying Relevant in Your Creative Career**

In the fast-changing world of design and marketing, staying relevant is all about knowing who you are and what you stand for. In this session, we’ll explore how to apply the same principles we use to build great brands to the most important brand of all: *our own*.

Through honest stories, practical steps, and a few laughs along the way, Paul breaks down what it means to find your *True North.* Your inner compass of purpose, values, and vision that keeps your creative career aligned and authentic. You’ll learn how to define your personal brand, communicate your value, and build lasting relationships that drive opportunity and trust.

**Whether you’re an agency leader, freelancer, or in-house creative, you’ll walk away with a plan to brand yourself with authenticity.**

Located on Main St, near downtown Boise. Refreshments will be served.

Finding Your True North - Personal Branding & Staying Relevant

Boise Main Co-Working Space

oin us for the **Graphic Designers’ Meet-Up at 10 Barrel: Free Apps & First 2 Pitchers on Us!** on **Wednesday, January 14, 5:30–7:00 PM**.
Meet in the Banquet Room in the back (by the kitchen)

We're picking up the tab for the appetizers and the first two pitchers—so you can focus on what matters most: meeting fellow creatives, swapping project war stories, and brainstorming your next great idea.

We’ll kick off with a quick round of intros (tell us your name, your superpower, and what design tool you can’t live without), share any hot-off-the-press news, then let the conversation flow freeform. Whether you’re a seasoned pro, a student just starting out, or a freelancer looking for collaborators, come thirsty, come hungry, and bring a buddy...or two!

**RSVP now** to lock in your spot, and be part of the community driving Boise’s vibrant graphic design scene!

10 Barrel Brewing Boise

We’re gathering again this February at **Boise Main Co-Working Space**, and this time, we’re turning to you, the Boise creative community.

Not sure if your topic fits? If it touches design, creativity, tools, freelancing, collaboration, or the messy middle of any project — it probably fits.

**Interested in presenting?**
Send us a quick note with your idea or project: we’ll help shape it into something great for the group.

Come to connect, learn, and be inspired by the talent right here in the Treasure Valley.
**Date:** Wednesday, February 19 • 5:30–7:00 PM
