Freelance Conference

Using the magic of collage, one's intuition, and the Visioning(R) techniques developed by Lucia Capacchione, PhD, ATR, REAT, one will create a vision of his/her career calling in 90 minutes. For this interactive workshop it is recommended that you bring two of your favorite magazines intended for use in this project.

All the information in the world won't help if it's not aligned with the Truth of Who You Are. This isn't about new-age, contemplate-your-navel ideas. It's about aligning with the Deeper Wisdom that's really running the show. This may be the least "useful" presentation you'll ever attend. And it might change your life and business forever.

Small business owners are superheroes, but most of us don't know it. As individuals we often feel limited in our ability to serve during times of crisis, particularly if we're not able to make large financial contributions.

But as entrepreneurs we are uniquely positioned to make a difference. This session will explore the ways that business owners can leverage their audience, their role as a community leader, and their business platform to create a positive impact even if they are a freelancer/solopreneur.

Over the past few months, I've been tackling weekly challenges with an accountability partner to improve our freelance businesses. The challenges apply to all parts of our businesses - our website, marketing, networking, accounting, and self care.

We've both been amazed at what a difference this had made not just to our businesses, but to our lives. We both feel better, more successful, more in control, and our businesses are growing and more profitable. In this talk, I'll discuss how we come up with the challenges, the importance of being consistent, and the magic of compounding results.

I'll also invite everyone to join us in committing to making consistent, tiny changes to improve their businesses and lives.

Expansion or Constriction.  Being in business for ourselves is exciting and difficult at the same time. While it creates freedom, it can also be so stressful that we end up blocking our own success from the inside out. 

The brain is a tricky mo-fo and it can be our biggest asset or our biggest block.
I will speak on the unconscious ways we block our ability to succeed even if we do great work and how we can begin to rewire the brain for more success.
I will share ideas on how audience members can release the subconscious constriction that causes stress and blocks creative and financial flow. 
Audience members will come away with strategies for consciously and intentionally cultivating an openness of being that enhances their work, income, and lives. 
We will also do some coaching for the audience around the ways they block their own success. Even if one person is coached in a hot seat session, all the members will benefit. 

Each of us is born with a unique blend of traits that affects our emotions, work performance and relationships. Understanding your own personality helps you achieve your full potential. Understanding the personalities of others unlocks the mysteries of effective communication, relationship-building, collaboration and influence.

Workshop participants will learn a simple yet powerful technique to identify the four basic personality types and begin to understand the strengths, weaknesses, motivations and needs of each in order to bring out the best in themselves and others.

All of us as individuals have an ethical code that we live within. However we don't share the kinds of individual learning experiences that have helped shape the decisions we make everyday. In the modern era, ethical decisions will have implications far beyond ourselves and our communities.

My goal is to make sure freelancers are making ethical decisions about their lives and their businesses, and of course the businesses we serve.

In this workshop titled Connection is the New Language of Success, Sylvia will guide you through 7 leadership and sales strategies that can catapult your business to the next level.  She will present the DISC model so that you can navigate the sales environment with confidence and understanding.  

We all emanate an energetic frequency and attract into our lives people and situations that match that same frequency. If you want to attract more abundance into your life, you must “up-level” your frequency to invite in the people and situations you want to attract.

Session attendees will learn why they're currently attracting what they're attracting, and will learn what they can do differently to change the outcome.

Enhance your leadership skills to achieve greater success in life & business!

Navigating the business and entrepreneurial world can be difficult, whether you are a professional, a business owner or working in the corporate world. Effective leaders must continue to identify, develop and sharpen their own leadership skills for both personal and professional growth. Outstanding leaders know how to skillfully inspire, motivate, and empower others to do their very best and achieve success.

Darlene will provide you the key tools, techniques and strategies so that you can enhance your existing leadership skills, improve your personal performance, and communicate and engage with others more effectively.

This interactive, fun and fast paced workshop will provide you the tools so that you can:

• Enhance your existing leadership skills
• Maximize your productivity
• Communicate and engage with others more effectively
• Remove obstacles to your success  _
• Create an action plan to accomplish your goals, personally and professionally

At the close of the session, you will be ready to take immediate and decisive actions, and you will walk away with tips, tools and strategies to continue to grow your leadership skills, improve your performance and develop actions to achieve greater success, both personally and professionally. \

In an IBM survey of more than 1,500 chief executive officers, creativity was ranked the number one factor in determining success in business. When Dr. George Land was hired by NASA to develop a test of creativity, the test worked so well that he decided to give it to 1,600 children. Ninety eight percent of the children, ages 3-5, tested as creative geniuses. By adulthood, that number fell to only 2%. People get so inhibited and controlled by their inner critic as they move through life that they lose the ability to play and create.

This creative inhibition can affect many aspects of their life and business, as they are less willing to take chances and think of new solutions. Fortunately, creativity is a skill that can be cultivated and nurtured. This workshop will lead you through a mixed-media collage exercise aimed at waking up your creative spark and helping you to find more clarity and space to reconnect with your creative genius.

Does this sound like you?

• You have a task list that you feel you will never get to the end of?
• You are working 17 hour days
• You are having a hard time meeting deadlines
• You spend all your time working "in" your business and not enough working "on" your business.
• You used to have something called "A Life". 

Jeff Kikel used to feel the same way. As the President of a Wealth Management practice, CEO and Founder of T-Werx Coworking and a Business Coach,  he was feeling overwhelmed. Worse, the businesses were all struggling. 

2 Years ago, Jeff began an odyssey to try to make his life and businesses more efficient. This resulted in the creation of the I.D.E.A. system that Jeff uses to pack 17 hours into a 9 hour day. As a result, Jeff runs 3 six-figure businesses that continue to grow every day. 

Join Jeff for this session and begin to look for ways to make your life and businesses much more effective every day.

Being the boss has it's advantages: you set the agenda, you make the calls. With great freedom, comes great responsibility. What you choose to focus on gets multiplied. It is critical how you maximize one of the most precious resources your business has - YOUR TIME.

Join us for the keys to honing the crucial skill of time management. With these keys, you will unlock greater success and the great benefits of the freelance life.

Would it be OK with you if life got a whole lot easier?

Would it be OK with you if you knew you couldn't fail?

Would it be OK with you if you made choices for your business and your life based on what you would love vs .
what you think you can have?

These results are not only possible but probable when you activate certain principals in your life and live from them. 

During this interactive workshop, you will learn:

• 2 essential keys for tuning into your purpose and your passion. 
• How to design a clear vision for full spectrum wealth in every area of your life.
• Simple thinking strategies that will guard you from fear, doubt, and worry.
• What successful people do to sustain success.

And much more..

You'll leave the workshop with an empowered understanding of how to work with these principals to not only master your mind but master your life.

“Having a strong sense of purpose can have a powerful positive effect. When you have a sense of purpose, you never get up in the morning wondering what you’re going to do with yourself. When you’re ‘in purpose’ – that is, engaged with and working towards your purpose – life becomes easier, less complicated and stressful.”  Psychology Today

Sometimes in life, we choose to follow our intuition and go into work that aligns with our purpose.  Or not.  Yet our purpose is always present, creating a feeling of flow and ease when we choose to align, even in some small aspect of our lives.  Our purpose is sometimes simply a faint thought that whispers, “This is what I should be doing.”

Maybe the job and career you chose are no longer fulfilling, your finances seem to be out of control, or you’re in a relationship that doesn’t feel right.  You might even start to question your very sanity or existence on this planet. This is the time to look within to discover what our values are & how they show up in our lives or not.

If this resonates with you and you would like to gain more insight, join us.  A panel of coaches will share several different ways to listen to, align with and expand your purpose to become integrated into your business endeavors, and all facets of your life. We will share stories and techniques we have used in our own lives to help you connect to your true purpose.
