Workshops...
To complement personal one-on-one coaching, inVision offers a series of group workshops focused on specific areas of interest to the Creative Professional.
For agencies, professional associations, and in-house departments, these workshops serve as an ideal complement to the workplace environment, providing your team with opportunities to address specific issues not otherwise discussed during daily activities.
By involving all members of your group, a new sense of teamwork and collaboration develops, with improved communication that leads to increased efficiency and productivity.
Our workshops are always tailored to the specific needs of your team, or chapter and are highly interactive, with an engaging blend of discussions, exercises and brainstorming.
For others, the challenge is removing the blocks to creative thinking, and unleashing the power of teamwork to enhance that creative potential.
Among inVision's most popular workshops are the following:
The Creativity Workshop
Designed for the specific needs of small to medium-sized organizations or professional associations, this workshop focuses on communication and the improvements that occur once team members believe they can contribute to the running of the business.
Topics to be addressed include:
- • Removing the blocks to creative thinking.

Marketing 101
Take the guesswork out of your marketing plans. While every professional faces the challenges of business development, often this self-promotion gets left on the shelf – or postponed until business activity slows down. The key is to address this issue head-on, so practical and achievable solutions can be developed.
This workshop has been especially popular among professional associations, including chapters of the AIGA, PRSA and GILD.
Topics to be addressed include:
- • Identifying and targeting your ideal client.
- • Seeing your business as your client sees it.
- • Developing a marketing approach that reflects your personal style.
- • Building consistency with a marketing program.
- • Leveraging your networking opportunities.
- • How to encourage referrals among your favorite clients.
This workshop is designed especially for the business owner ready to implement the "right" tools that fit their specific needs. You’ll gain a clearer view of your natural business niche, what areas of business brings you the most success, and learn how to implement and then evaluate an effective marketing plan.
From Chaos to Clarity
A smart Business Plan is a highly effective tool for every creative professional, whether working as a solo entrepreneur or as the leader of a team. Too often, however, development of a plan is seen as an overwhelming challenge.
That's why we teach you how to develop a business plan that's limited to a single page. With one page, you not only develop clarity on your purpose, but gain an easy-to-use tool that guides your direction.
Topics to be addressed include:
- • Developing a clear vision for where you want your business to be.
- • Defining objectives that guide your business direction.
- • Translating your vision into your marketing efforts.
- • Building a strategic and workable plan on how to move forward.
Creative professionals who develop and follow a clear business plan not only stay focused, they also have a road map to turn to when their direction grows unclear.
Also, by creating specific milestones within your business plan, you’ll gain a practical method for measuring and evaluating your success.
“Build Your Own” workshops
We also invite collaboration with our clients to design customized workshops based on the specific needs and preferences of your group. These workshops can target any of the range of challenges that design agencies and in-house departments typically face.
