Finding purpose and direction with Damien Neva

The Career Studio

Part of what I wanted to do on this podcast is introduce you to everyday people who are thriving professionally and personally. To show you that feeling energized and aligned at work isn't just for the celebrities or titans of industries that are often featured on other podcasts. It's available to every single one of us - including you.

In this episode I speak with Damien Neva, a former client of mine. Before we started working together Damien felt at sea - unsure how to define his professional focus and therefore unclear how to address the professional dissonance he was feeling in the midst of the pandemic.

Today, Damien introduces himself as a video artist (discover his awesome work here: http://damienneva.com/) who has been producing short form serial videos for more than a decade for modeling agencies in New York including his current shop of nine years, NEXT Management, where he is the global director of social media.

Although he never studied photography or filmmaking, his undergrad in English lit and a master’s in humanities and social thought have served him in good stead in the telling of stories.

Damien lives in Brooklyn with his architect wife and their two children.

You can also follow Damien’s work on Instagram or Twitter or LinkedIn.

We discussed:

• The value of having lots and lots of conversations - even before you really know what you want to do.
• How Damien turned his existing environment into exactly what he needed to progress his career
• The importance of trusting your body and listening to its signals
• How owning who you are and what excites you draws people to you
• And much more!
