Okay folks, here is the first of several posts (more details to come) about the upcoming speaking trip I will be taking to points east (of course, almost everything is east of here…). I hope to meet LOTS of you at these events!
What will I be talking about? So glad you asked…
Beyond PMS:
How to overcome fear, find your best market, and achieve your goalsBuilding on her very popular New Treatments for PMS (Panic Marketing Syndrome) presentation, internationally-known consultant Leslie will talk on several issues blocking photographers (and other creative professionals) from being more successful. Her presentation will have Keynote-based visuals and a downloadable pdf outline available ahead of time to facilitate comprehension and note-taking. These tools, combined with Leslie’s humorous-yet-thoughtful delivery and an openness to answer questions on all topics, result in an opportunity to improve your business and the acquisition of helpful ideas that can be implemented the very next day.
Some topics to be covered include:
time management for the “flakey” creative
rational goal setting
how to turn goals into action
fear and its painful results (like lowballing)
understanding and finding your best market
effective tools
using tools more effectively
Oh, and do you want to win a copy of my book? Then come to one of the events–you have to be there to win!
While in each city, I’ll be offering consultations at a discount to members of the sponsoring organizations. Also, and quite importantly for the groups, I will be donating back a percentage of the fees generated in the consultations–member or not–to each individual chapter. So, for example, if you meet with me in Atlanta, a portion of the fees will go to APA-Atlanta. In other words, you can help these groups while you help yourself. If you are interested in signing up for the individual consultations, you can do that by contacting me directly. The prices will be as follows:
Members 50 minutes: $250, 110 minutes: $470
Non-Members 50 minutes: $300, 110 minutes: $550
Sign up soon, and definitely in advance, to get the most out of our meeting. I will send a worksheet to those who sign up ahead of time, to help us be more efficient with our time together. That way you can get more of the help you want in the time we have.
The schedule is as follows:
Austin, TX

Leslie, Seems that you will do a nice spring time trip. You should definitely take a camera with you and enjoy documenting your trip. You already do it, don’t you ?
After following your sound advices last summer, I finally found a coach in Europe and really it was worth the money. The most difficult step was to subscribe to coaching sessions, because it was a step in the unknown, away from reassuring bad habits, but the result was worth it. New doors opened, new people/prospects came forward and the money spent, (the coaching is not finished yet) is already back on my account. For $1 spent, $2 cashed in ! Thanks again ! Cheers.
