Some big decorative artist issues we plan to discuss and how can Beverly's work help reach a better conclusion:

• How can creative entrepreneurs communicate confidence when they are selling themselves (and their work) to a client?
• When a client wants to cross your business boundaries and asks you to break your policy...the big one is sample boards...customers want to keep them. Then they show them to other painters and ask them to reproduce it for less. 
• How do you ask for the commission/money? 
• What can we do when a client wants more than we agreed to or we jusy cannot seem to please them? 
• Dealing with difficult people. 
• Best way to handle a client who doesn't want to pay after all is said and done- even if you have a contract. 
• What do we need to do to improve our communication effectiveness overall? and so much more...  

The 5 secrets to understanding other people:

1. It's all About me.
2. Behavioral Styles come between us.
3. Values speak louder than you do
4. Don't assume I know what you mean
5. I'm Okay; you are most definitely not okay
