Portfolio Critiques from 4:00 - 5:00 PM

Cost: $40.00 + GST 
Instructor: Diane Burroughes 

A portfolio is one of the best self-marketing tools you can utilize. It
is a professional tool that showcases your skills, talents and
accomplishments, provides you with the competitive edge, and creates a
sense of self-confidence and professionalism. Get tips on how to make
your portfolio a compelling statement of who you are and what you have
to offer. Diane has so much information to pass on to participants
during this three hour afternoon that she will not be able to personally
critique portfolios during the workshop. However, she has graciously
agreed to stay after the session and do personal critiques of portfolios
from 4 - 5 pm free of charge for those attending the session! 

Diane has been working for 20 years as a coach, facilitator and designer
of new programs, and as faculty at various colleges. Over the last four
years she has worked with over 400 artists in Alberta, British Columbia
and Ontario, assisting them in increasing their success.  Diane brings a
wealth of knowledge and a highly developed intuitive capacity to her
life's work.

"The portfolio you helped me design got me the position which evolved
into VP of a major dot.com in the construction industry. Both personally
and professionally, Diane helped me find and bulldoze the impediments
that were getting in my way - presentation, focus, and clarity on where
I wanted to be. I left with an action plan and portfolio that opened
doors and closed deals."  David Buckland
