WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
It’s for you. You have all the content (you just don’t know it yet!) and the ideas but getting it done and out there is a whole other ball game.

I AM CAMERA SHY - will I have to dance or point in the air?
Oof. Nope. Absolutely not. This day is about you and your business. It’s important that you be you and we will just let everyone else be them.

You will have a whole team of people cheering you on and supporting you throughout the day to create content that you are comfortable with. No dancing required!
WILL THIS BE BESPOKE? HOW ABOUT PROPS OR changING my outfit?
Yes feel free to bring props. In fact this is a great idea. We will have a few bits and bobs but do bring anything bespoke to your business. You probably need 2 or 3 outfits. Just so all your content doesn’t look the same. We will give you a ‘Let’s get ready’ guide – this will help you prepare.
