“What do you do?”

It’s a frequent “first question” asked at parties, networking events, and bad dates. And sadly, the answer often includes the word “just”.

When our identity is dominated by our professional image, it can be limiting! Even those that “live to work” have other facets which may contain hidden value. And so, perhaps a more interesting question is, “Who are you?” But, how should you answer?

In this TIGER Talk, Damian Synadinos uses crowd work, humor, improv, personal stories, and more to examine our identities, explore our interests, confront anxiety, and find inspiration from unexpected sources. Join him to laugh, learn, and “unjust yourself” as you unlock your true potential and rediscover Who You Are!
