How to catapult your career and life by accepting the blankness. Lessons in originality and change from great photographers
Your career is humming along when, suddenly, someone or something slams on the brakes.
Maybe your boss assigns you to a new industry, an area where you have no experience or knowledge. Maybe you or your partner are pregnant—a happy brake slam, but a slam nonetheless.

There’s a sudden blank.
Suddenly you must redefine yourself.
