Keynote Presentation – Business Karma

After an unforgettable keynote address about the creative side of photography at the DWF convention in 2006, Jerry is back in 2011 to talk about “business karma” in what will be a candid presentation on what it takes to be a successful businessperson in a fiercely competitive industry.

What is your business karma? What are you projecting to your potential market and what do you expect or deserve back? Jerry strongly believes that the art of business is seriously missing with most creative people and a strong work ethic is lacking to newcomers to the industry. He promises to inspire confidence, knowledge and the street smart to not only survive in the wedding photography industry but also thrive with a balanced lifestyle.

Jerry will share his experience from being the backbone of one of Australia’s largest and most respected studios to starting a high-end boutique brand in a recession. He’ll candidly share his experiences and the lessons he has learned through the years including his business mindset and his favorite marketing strategies and how you can apply that to your own business.

This will be a very entertaining presentation that promises to motivate you and reignite your passion as well freely discuss what it truly takes to be successful in this industry.
