WORKSHOP: Connect with the BEST CLIENTS in the world:
YOURS!
Rebecca West, Seriously Happy Homes
Topic Area: Grow Your Business
You offer clients a very special and unique experience, perfect
for YOUR clients. But if you aren't able to articulate how you are
different from your colleagues, and why they should pick YOU, then
you're losing out on your ideal clients.
This isn't about getting ALL the clients, it's about getting the clients
you'll love, and who'll love (and champion) you back! To do that you
have to:
- get clear and confident about how you, your talents, your brand,
and your services are unique,
- own your unfair advantage and put that secret sauce to work,
- and clearly and efficiently communicate that unique difference to
potential clients.
By the end of the workshop we'll have sparked ideas for how to
communicate your " special sauce " and you'll go home with copy that
you can plug into your website to start drawing in your ideal clients!

Bath Materials, Textures and Finishes that Evoke Our Senses
Carolyn Ames Noble, Ames Design Collective
Topic Area: Design
Much of design is geared toward what we see, yet it's just only
one component to design. As consumer lifestyles continue to
evolve, so does the need for bath space design to keep up with
our newly conscientious consumer. This course will focus on
sensory design for the bathroom space, discussing the increasing
attention consumers now give to sanitation, quality, function, and
design. We will discuss the importance of sensory design elements
that contribute to the overall physical and mental health of its
occupants, as well as key design drivers and consumer values.
The course examines the use of biophilic textures and finishes, to
understand surfaces for the best cleanability. The course wraps up
with reviewing and discussing solutions for small spaces, families,
and hospitality suites.
