Keeping Focus and Moving Toward a Post-COVID19 World with Don Giannatti

Keeping Focus and Moving Toward a Post-COVID19 World with Don Giannatti

I am honored to be speaking to the membership of ASMP about my ideas on moving forward away from this “lockdown”. My focus is on what has remained and what has changed and utilizing our vision to help make the transition to what is new.

HERE IS THE REPLAY OF THE WEBINAR:

From the ASMP bulletin:

Don Giannatti has been a commercial photographer for over 50 years. In that time, he has seen many fads, schemes, and ‘strategies’ come and go. But he also has seen and utilized what works, and helps others do that as well. He will always live as a creative, and at this point, he has dedicated much of his energy into the nurturing of those who want to live an extraordinary life as well. 
 
From a commercial photographer to the owner of a large ad agency in Phoenix, Arizona, Don has been working with creative people his entire life. For the past 10 years, he’s helped hundreds of photographers build a more robust business for themselves by discovering what they truly love to do. From online groups to one-on-one mentorships, his goal has always been to challenge the concepts of scarcity and failure with the reality of the big wins available to those who work for them.
 
Don offers no quick fixes, overnight successes, or instant riches. He does offer insight into the myriad ways one can move through this thing called a creative life and come out the other end more powerful, more creative, and stronger than ever. This is the time of the creative. This is our time. Together we can build a future for you and your creativity.
