1. Capture Your Audience's Attention: Frameworks to Make Your Online Communication More Persuasive
You're a creative. Your number one responsibility to this world is to do creative work and give us more of your gift. Your number two responsibility? Spread the word about what you can do.
We all need to write emails and social media posts that connect us with collaborators or get people to our next event. Your ability to communicate effectively in a world full of information and content overload can make the difference between creative career success and failure. This workshop will have you thinking like a modern marketer or copywriter - someone who knows how to make an impact through the written word and communicate in a way that's powerful and persuasive - and put you in a position to talk about your work in a more compelling way.

3. From Freelancer to Business Owner: The Building Blocks of Business Growth in 2018
Ever find yourself loving what you create for clients, but sapped of all the energy to put any work into growing your own business? Do you sometimes wish you could set aside your client work for a week so you could dive deep into your own branding and business planning? The start of a new year is an ideal time to commit to taking your business seriously and achieving #AllTheSuccess in the next twelve months. But you can't brainstorm in January. Oh, no. The planning needs to happen right now.
If you want to be taken more seriously and increase your income potential, this workshop will walk you through the steps necessary to make a business out of your creative endeavors. In this workshop we'll focus on everything from choosing a business entity, prepping for taxes, developing a marketing plan, and positioning yourself as an industry expert. You'll walk away with concrete baby steps you can take to put everything you've learned into practice immediately and in the year to come.
