A business pre-con by global pet photography coach Alex Cearns, covering confidence building,

managing client expectations and dealing with bumps in the road. Many photographers (understandably) fall apart when a client isn't happy or provides negative feedback but there are ways you can train your brain to become resilient to this, to respond appropriately without emotion, and to ensure clients leave happy. You can’t run a successful business, and deal with

people, without the strategies Alex will share!
