About this FieldTrip

You’re talented—but if no one knows what you do, it’s hard to land work. This session is for creatives who want to feel more confident promoting themselves without feeling cringey or overwhelmed.

We’ll break down simple ways to build your presence, share your work, and get noticed—especially if you’re just starting out. From portfolios to social media to testimonials, I’ll show you how to build trust and credibility in your own way.

Expect to reflect, plan, and leave with a remixable checklist that makes self-promotion feel doable (and maybe even fun).

⭐️ This FieldTrip is part of our Level Up Series with Adobe!

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
