Tuesday, November 28, 3:30 – 5 p.m. (social: 5 – 6 p.m.)

We all have two sides to our social mask. The outside is filled with positive traits we project to the world, while the inside is filled with our quiet thoughts and concealed self. Women, in particular, feel pressure to prove they “have it all together.”

This constant stress to produce and manage what others think is exhausting and leaves us hoping people don’t see the mess and chaos bubbling beneath the surface.

Why attend?

Learn the theory behind persona and impression management and how these ideas surface in our lives.
Participate in an activity to reflect on the two sides of the persona mask: the one we show others and the one we keep concealed.
Begin to uncover the reasoning behind our concealed self, develop an understanding and appreciation for the role it plays and learn how to live confidently and authentically at home and at work.
Please consider bringing new toys or Christmas gifts to donate to children and adults with special needs for FirstLink’s Giving Tree of Hope and Toys For Tots.
