 'This day will give you some brilliant insights into why your business side might not be flourishing. After having had some really useful sessions with Sarah I wanted to share this with all of you.' Amanda

marketing with heart   is a one day workshop designed to teach therapists how to market a holistic business effectively.   It combines practical marketing skills and strategies with the same whole-system approach you use in your practice. the morning session: ·        explains marketing in a simple and engaging way  ·        uses creative exercises to take the fear out of marketing and help you enjoy it·        looks at how to identify and connect with your marketplace and how your business communications can speak from the heart·        shows you how to get started and how to build a bite-sized plan·        offers quick tips  - little things you can do that make an impact the afternoon session: ·        looks at marketing as a flow of energy through your business  ·        introduces systemic mapping exercises or ‘constellations’·        investigates what might be in the way of your progress, to resolve potential blocks·        explores what help and support are available to you, on both an energetic and practical level·        ensures your marketing plan is adequately resourced and ready to go facilitator – sarah james: Most holistic businesses start small and are run on love, adrenalin and word of mouth.  A desire to help others may be the motivation for setting up in practice, but good business skills are essential.  This training gives you the tools to market your business effectively without exhausting your resources or compromising your integrity.  The workshop distils my knowledge and experience as a business consultant working with holistic companies into one full day’s learning to get you started.  marketing with heart    developed out of a desire to support smaller, ethical organisations in the alternative health, alternative education and creative industries, which often struggle to market themselves successfully on limited budgets, but have a resource some larger organisations have lost sight of – their good heart. 

“I live in Brighton and work as a systemic organisational consultant and coach.  I have specialised in PR, marketing and communications for 20 years, working with small, medium and global-sized companies, across a range of industry sectors, from the entertainment industry to business publishing; but I always come back to working with clients with a holistic focus because I love and share their passion for being of service to others.”   

 Rev Amanda Edwards and Rev Annie Blampied are hosting this day at Annie's house in Forest Row, East Sussex, RH185ED. We are limited to 12 places and this full day of easily applied marketing tools will cost you £85.oo . We suggest a 'pot luck' lunch and tea and coffee will be provided. Please contact Annie or Amanda after the 17th March(both away) to book or to ask for further information.
