We’ve all heard the age old adage, “a picture is worth a thousand words”.  With that being said, what would your 1,000 words be worth? What if you could find the perfect verbiage to describe your work?  What if you could articulate to your clients WHY they should work with you? Increase your sales average? Create your business? Tell your story?  Improve your life?

 During this daylong seminar, April Graves will share how she uses the art of story in every facet of running her business.  You will begin to craft your own story, learning how to use some of April’s favorite tools to make your best story come to life. She will teach you how to create a daily operational tool that will aid you in running your business efficiently and effectively, all the while aiming toward your intended goal.  

April will also take you on a virtual tour of her studio and teach you how to intertwine story with sales to increase your bottom line.  With a sales average of $6,000/session, Graves has founded the Art of Storyselling TM.

April will help you find your words and help you develop a language that speaks solely of your business.

You will leave feeling inspired and ready to take the next step in your business so bring your favorite journal and/or laptop and be ready to work!  You will want to choose 2 of your favorite images you have ever made, one personal and one artist’s choice, to have readily accessible on your device.
