 WORKSHOP, AUGUST 14th!

Spotless in the Spotlight: Crafting an Image that Sells You, Your Work, and Your Ideas

You spend all day dreaming up new ideas and ways to improve your projects.  But do you spend time polishing how you present your projects to the community?  Being able to speak eloquently, effectively and with passion will inspire those around you to get to know your work and your vision, ultimately helping you sustain what you do. 

This seminar is designed to get your speaking skills on par with your creative skills.  When your speaking skills start to do justice to what you accomplish in the world, your career will start to thrive versus simply survive.   

This seminar will help you identify: What are your strengths as a speaker?  What is holding you back, making you less effective?  What are the steps you can take to improve?  Do you have an inspirational elevator speech? Are you inspiring others with your speech or turning them off?  These are just a few of the questions that will be answered in this one-day program designed specifically for Denver’s creative and nonprofit community.        

Conveying your passion is important in this media-intense world.  Whether you are explaining your program or your painting, using the integrity of your own voice is an essential tool you can use to inspire those around you.
