Creating Demand for Your Skills: Turning What You Know Into Opportunity Anywhere

A joint presentation with Leslie Brathwaite on how creatives build demand for their skills after Full Sail. This session focuses on positioning, relationships, and recognizing opportunities outside traditional job paths. We'll share real stories from our own careers, including how location independence became possible by making our skills valuable, visible, and relevant to the right people. One example breaks down how a casual conversation on a flight turned into a paid consulting engagement with Virgin-while on vacation. Students will learn how to spot these moments, talk about their work with confidence, and create opportunities instead of waiting for them.
