The Business of Show Business Masterclass & Lecturing
WITH THE RIGHT STRATEGY AND CONFIDENCE, YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR CAREER GOALS
Now is the best time to take control of your online presence, learn how to market yourself, and implement and create an easy-to-manage strategy. Marketing is the backbone of you as a brand and your business; let’s make that as easy as possible for you to do.
Over the last seven years, Jamie has taught his keynote Performer Branding - helping creatives to market themselves and master their digital presence - as well as other guest lectures on Networking, Entertainment Journalism, Self-taping and Podcasting at many of the UK's leading performing arts institutes, on short courses and worked with individuals and small business owners.
I aim to help you take control of your career in an industry where it often seems you have little to no control.
Giving you the tools to take control of your career.
If you have made it this far down, then you are ready to be centre stage of your career.
Jamie’s masterclasses and lecturing will not only help creatives, freelancers and performers with defining their personal brand and online presence but diving deeper into how to monetise their skills, the value of creating a website, content creation, how to connect with your VIPS and pitch to them and the apps/websites that make this easy.
As an NLP career and business coach, I will also help you to:
- Set achievable goals
- Get rid of negative and limiting beliefs
- Help you to push through your comfort zone to help you to grow
- Help you to realise your potential and access all your internal resources and more
Jamie’s extensive experience onstage and behind the camera makes him a trusted go-to source for showbiz reporting and presenting, often lecturing on all things entertainment and helping creatives understand the principles of podcasting.
“Jamie’s passion and enthusiasm, balanced with his vast experience and expertise in the creative industries is second to none. His visit really made the students think about themselves as a business: branding and professionalism in the industry.
His advice was invaluable as to how they approach potential castings, how to manage their online presence on social media platforms, with reference to the creation of content.
He also focussed on how to identify and capitalise on their transferable skills to create ways of making a living in the creative industries as a side-line.
We are looking forward to him visiting again with his current and invaluable input to the students’ journey.”
