Description

THE ART OF CAREER SUICIDE:

HOW TO QUIT YOUR JOB AND JUMP

A Chairman Kato lecture, with Echo

NB - This event has been rescheduled to Tuesday 23rd Feb because of a planned tube strike on the original date

Dreaming of a career change this year? Feeling a stirring to make the jump and work for yourself, start something new, and really pursue your passions? Whether your aspirations are creative, entrepreneurial or something else, this event is for you.

Hackney resident Chairman Kato is known as an artist and musician, but for many years he also had a double life working as a doctor in Accident and Emergency. It was an arrangement that worked well for much of that time but as he became more senior in the world of medicine Kato became increasingly conflicted about his future and felt trapped in between two worlds. He knew he wanted to become a full time artist but couldn't see how he could make it happen.

Then one day, at the start of 2014, Kato woke up one morning and abruptly ended his medical career, shocking his colleagues by announcing that he was now working as an artist. He had unwittingly made the biggest decision of his life.

Within a year he had been awarded an Arts Council grant and today continues to work across photography, painting, music and lecturing. He also runs an artist support group called the 100% Club.`

Following on from the sellout success of a series of lectures at Hackney Downs Studios in 2015, we’re delighted to host Kato for this very special event, and hear his story of how and why he finally decided to pursue his passions and what anyone with similar aspirations might learn from his baptism of fire.

Join us for a lecture and Q&A, followed by drinks, networking and an opportunity to see how Echo could help you kickstart your creative dreams.
