At the Manor of Lac Delage

Warning
This is an event for photographers; and you don't even need to bring your camera!

w1.png

Do you feel like you've walked around the garden? 
The impostor syndrome, the comparison, the feeling that you lack the tools to be the entrepreneur you want to be?

w15.png

CNPUW was created with a benevolent approach.  We want you to see something other than the classic Workshops!

You've had a ton of creative workshops that focus on shooting, posing, and image processing.

You focus so much on developing your skills and talent in PHOTO, but little in ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

 

Being a solopreneur brings its own set of challenges; growth management, customer service, ALL of our business tasks, accounting; all the daily poutine and the unexpected weigh heavily on your shoulders. 

What was initially just a passion for photography turned into a COMPANY. 

 

Did you know that a company headed by a better-equipped manager is more likely to survive?   Did you know that only 60.5% of small businesses with 1 to 4 employees survive after 5 years of activity and it drops to 42.5% after 10 years*?


 

Take the leadership of your company and take care of its leader.

Le contexte économique actuel, te fais remettre en question tes stratégies d’attraction et d’acquisition de clients.  Tu en viens même à te demander si la baisse de rentabilité est dû à la qualité de tes photos, tu te remets en question.

CNPUW this is for you if you

  • Dream of a moment of your own, to refocus on your business. 

  • Want to share with other photopreneurs about your reality.

  • Want to come home with a concrete toolbox to take your business further.

  • Wish to get out of your slippers and get (a little) stirred.

  • Have the feeling of being an impostor, even after several years at the head of your business.

CNPUW this is not for you if you

  • Think that passion and a positive mindset have nothing to do with entrepreneurship.

  • Just looking for a hotel to spend 2 nights without the children (yes it's a plus... but it's not just that).

  • Don't be 100% convinced that owning your own business is the greatest thing in the world.

  • Believes that the group experience does not provide more value than it should.

Accompany more, work less!

In this workshop, I share with you my secrets for smooth, personalized customer service that will save you time!  With my tools and my Workflow, I am able to anticipate questions , to anticipate needs and also sell more without having the feeling of being a salesperson. I'm showing you how, you're gonna freak out.

 

I'm so excited!  Words fail me to tell you how this event lives in me.  I've been thinking about creating more tools for a while now. on entrepreneurship for photographers.  

We often neglect a whole aspect of the management of our business. We put aside the happiness of having a healthy business.  Being a solopreneur should give us the freedom to choose our projects.  I can't wait to grow with you.

Your business cycle.

Summer is hell, winter is dead calm.  You question yourself every season for such different reasons._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ What do we do? I want to give you tools so that you can understand your cycles, and live positively the ups and downs of each season of your business so that you can live them with so much more zenitude and take full advantage of them._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_

I will not hide from you that since I accompany my colleagues to solidify their company, I dream that they will be paid for their talent, that they allow themselves to have the quality of life they want and that they understand how much talent they have!  

I'm freaking out that we will see each other as a gang, cultivate our solidarity, around themes that are so close to my heart!  Wow!

Accompany more, work less!

En tant que photographe, tu es aussi un.e artiste.

Autour de toi se dégage indéniablement un brand feeling: un sentiment , une énergie qui se ressent quand les gens arrivent dans ton univers.

Mais comment l’identifier?
Comment y mettre des mots?
Et comment ça peut s’incarner non seulement à travers la photo, mais aussi à travers toute ta présence?

C’est ce que nous découvrirons ensemble lors de cet atelier.

Parce qu’après tout, il est temps que tu sois l’artiste de ta marque.

Tu seras par la suite en mesure de réellement te démarquer et faire vivre l'expérience de ta marque avant même que les gens vivent une séance photo avec toi! 

Quelques mots sur Marjorie; 

Elle copywritter, et comme toi une créative et artiste multidisciplinaire qui a une affinité (et même une obsession!) toute particulière pourla recherche nominale, les archétypes de marque, les
symboliques et les émotions.

Elle accompagne les entrepreneures à assumer leur
posture d'artiste peu importe leur domaine en se
connectant à leur brand feeling: cette ambiance qui
émane de leur univers.

Horaire CNPUW 2023.jpg

Festive evening between us!

Let's celebrate in style! 

After a transformative day, why not take advantage of the presence of colleagues to eat, drink and celebrate? 

 

A 3-course dinner, atmosphere and ESPECIALLY the opportunity to have fun, to relax! 

In short, a wedding, but no bride and groom and NO PHOTOS! 

Pssst!  I was told there would be a surprise in the evening!

Mélissa Miron and Alexe Martel taught me a lot and just staying at the Monastery did me so much good. Meeting all the beautiful people that I have also met, discussing our lives as photographers and our lives in general. Getting out of my routine, thinking only of myself, dressing smart, laughter, laughter, laughter, wow. You have touched on several spheres of my life, more than just the photographer in me, and that's magic.

Julie Leveille

Thank you Cathy and Annie for your professionalism throughout the adventure. You managed this with masterful hands and you were very generous with your knowledge. Many thanks! You are exceptional!

Andree-Anne Joly

The ideal place to take a moment for yourself, but above all to take care of your business! Significant workshops that are there to put you back on the right track. In short, this stay was a key moment to answer my questions that I had and get back on my X before the next high season.

Joanie Houde

Connecting with our colleagues my god it was hot, being on retreat day and night like that, I flipped over how fun it is! I would go back tomorrow morning! Wow wow wow and wow again!!!!! Thank you so so so beautiful women!! Everything was perfect ❤️❤️❤️

Veronique Moisan

I could have written only 'I love you, congratulations!' because I love Cathy and Annie and because they deserve all the applause in the world after putting together this magnificent "workshop-which-is-not-one". But I will add that if you have any doubts, if you go forward-backward-forward, if you're new to the field, if you've been rolling around for several years, if you bite your nails before each high season, if you ask questions, if you feel alone, if you need to get out from behind your screen, if you lack inspiration... if ALL THIS or even JUST one of these statements applies, CNPUW is there for you. And I advise you to be there this year!
