Video Foundations [Masterclass 1]

This four-week Video Foundations workshop is perfect for all financial advisors and related professionals (consultants, journalists, vendors, etc.) who want to ensure you're representing yourself and your brand well on video.

The skills you'll learn in this workshop are equally applicable for leveling up your virtual meetings as they are for getting started creating great video content.

You'll be joined by other advisors to learn from and with each other, and the weekly homework will keep you accountable to implementing everything you learn.

We'll meet live for one hour each week (note there's no meeting the week of Thanksgiving) and Katie will be available for questions throughout via a group Slack channel. This is also where you'll share your video homework each week and get feedback.

FAQs

Will recordings be available if you're not able to make a session?

• Yes! A Zoom recording will be provided to all participants. These are not to be shared with anyone outside the workshop participants.

Do I have to use Slack?

• Yes. All communication will be done via a group Slack channel, including uploading your videos, getting feedback and support between sessions, etc.

Why is it called [Masterclass 1]?

• Because this is the first of a three-part Masterclass Package.

• If you sign up for the package, you save 20% over enrolling in each of the 4-week workshops separately.

• The other two 4-week workshops are:

  • Creating Valuable and Engaging Content

  • Video Mastery

• We know that doing 12-weeks straight of live workshops doesn't work for everyone, so if you sign up for the package, you actually have six months to complete the three workshops.

Have another question?

• Use the 'Talk to me' button in the bottom right and send me a text, audio or (ideally!) video message. Be sure to include your name and email after your message so that I can reply.
