Immerse yourself! A two-day tactical workshop to build your skills and your business, while connecting and learning best practices from pros in the industry.

If you are like most sketchnoters and visual thinkers, you already do great work but, somehow, that doesn't seem to be enough.

You have worked with big companies but you still struggle to sell your services, your leads come from referrals you can't control, and you are probably a one person business, wearing multiple hats.

Some months you are busy and overworked. Other months your calendar is empty and you panic.

Just imagine if you could be less busy but make more money.
What if you could get clients that work with you on repeat, providing stable income?

What possibilities would that open in your life?

Unless you live close to other sketchnoters, you don't often get to see how other pros manage their processes, and which systems allows them to grow.
You have the talent. Now you need to go back to what makes you and your offer unique, and double down on your strengths to gain more business.

It's the difference between being a sketchnoter for your clients vs becoming the preferred sketchnoter for them.

That's why we created this workshop. 

To provide you with the insights, support, inspiration, and practice you need for the next stage in your sketchnotes business. 
This is a workshop for those who are ready to put in the work to unlock their next level.
