A panel discussion & conversation with authors Kristina O’Neill and Laura Brown on how to rise up when you’ve been laid off
About this Event

RevelEleven is excited to present an evening with the authors of “All the Cool Girls Get Fired” on Thursday, March 19, from 4:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Fired? Laid off? Want to come back stronger than ever? If your answer is YES, join us with two bold women who were relieved of their jobs from In Style Magazine and WSJ magazine – authors Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill. We will discuss All the Cool Girls Get Fired, bold and funny this is the ultimate comeback guide. What started as a moment of shock, anger and uncertainty became a movement: an indispensable user’s manual that’s full of practical information, as well as inspiring advice and personal stories from notable women who have lost their jobs. The authors will Zoom in from New York City so you can ask them questions directly.

All the Cool Girl's Get Fired helps readers navigate the unmooring process of finding yourself unemployed, untangling your identity with your work, and the “watch out world” mindset you need for your next job.

Seattle has been hit particularly hard with layoffs, and with this event, we want to create space for anyone affected (cool girls and guys!) to share their stories and reap in the well earned wisdom of the authors. We'll also be joined by a local panel of women who have lived it - women who turned being laid off into an opportunity to begin again and are now thriving in each of their new chapters.

Hosted by RevelEleven founder Joanie Parsons, whose own PR firm was born after a layoff became the unexpected spark to start over, and Rachel Hart, former editor of Seattle magazine and “cool girl” a couple of times over since leaving that post, the evening will feature a 50-minute discussion with the authors followed by a panel discussion and Q & A session. Mingling and networking will be encouraged after the event.

The event will be hosted at Ballard’s Obec Brewing, in the heart of Ballard’s brewery district. All tickets include your first drink on us. Food for purchase will be available at food trucks nearby.

This event is open to all, ages 21+.

If you'd like to purchase a book bundle ticket, please purchase your ticket by March 10 (books will be available to pick up during the event).

*No reimbursement will be issued after purchase of tickets - only in the case of a cancellation of the event.

About RevelEleven: We are community of women who come together to learn, engage and have fun in both virtual and in-person events and global retreats. We have a great newsletter on our website. Sign up and stay informed.
