Marketing and Mindfulness event on April 25, 2018 in Chicago

/in , , /by

The Chicago Creative Coalition, APA Chicago, and ASMP Chicago Midwest have invited me to present my newest seminar: Get Your Head Together to Get Ahead in Business: Marketing and Mindfulness. This event for those who are interested in stretching beyond any current limiting beliefs they have about marketing, themselves, and what’s possible in their business.

Anyone who’s ever obsessed over a situation –and wished they could stop thinking about it – knows the suffering that mental loops create. Here’s the good news: all of those negative states start in the mind (consciousness). That’s where they can be fixed. On Wednesday evening, April 25th I will expand one of the critical “tripod legs” of success that I covered in my other photography marketing seminar Rebooting Your Business Brain 2.0.

In this new seminar, I’ll be going over the components of  The Inner Game: Managing Your Mind. You will learn what makes up this primary leg of support. You’ll learn how you can get more stability in your business. I’ll help you understand why, in this hyper-connected economy, 24-hr. news cycle world we now live in, managing your mind has never been more important. It is a foundational base for increased productivity and creativity.

You will have a chance to both learn and then do. We’ll go over the what, when, and why. Then you’ll get to directly experience some of the mindfulness tools – so you can shift out of those less-than-effective thoughts.

I will also be showing some more traditional direct marketing tools and processes so you can build a focused plan to land the business you want.

Photo marketing workshop: Turning your Photo Passion into a Profitable Photo Business Feb. 22-23 in Santa Fe

/in , /by

Time is running out to register for my Feb. 22-22 two-day photo marketing intensive at the Santa Fe Photo Workshops.

I’m thrilled to be doing this workshop at Santa Fe Photo Workshops, which is one of the most respected photo workshop organizations in the United States. The 2-day workshop format will provide attendees with both a lot of personalized attention as well as the benefits of learning in a synergistic group environment.

There’s plenty of course information on the Santa Fe Workshops web site and a link to registration.

While the course description in the SFPW catalog indicates the course is geared to advanced amateurs, this workshop actually provides value for any serious photographer who wants to learn the most effective photography sales and marketing skills–skills which are essential in order to make more income from shooting photography.

You’ll come away from this course with  real marketing knowledge, confidence, focus, and business direction.

“What next?!? Creating a viable Plan B” is my next photo marketing seminar

/in /by

On November 15th, 2013 I’ll be one of the faculty presenters at the  Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar which is being held Nov. 14-16th at the Westin Atlanta North hotel.

Their registration sign-up page is here.

My photography marketing workshop will be entitled “What next?!? Charting a viable Plan B for photojournalists.”

As we all know, photographers working in photo journalism have  experienced some of the sharpest declines in income due to staff layoffs (I live in the city where notorious Chicago Sun Times laid off their entire photo staff). While the rise of iPhone photographers has eroded many traditional career paths for those photographers who know how to tell a story in a just few compelling images, there are still viable paths for those skilled and passionate photographers.

More info on my workshop is found on this APJ seminar page.
