About the webinar

Blank pages are the worst.

Blank screens too. How do we keep the content coming?

What if we get writer’s block? Analysis paralysis? Creative slowdown?

Webpages, emails, reports, presentation slides, prospectus pages, social media posts...

No matter the format, there is nothing more off-putting than an empty, glowing screen.

In this free webinar, you will discover several methods to help you break through your creative blockages. You will gain tangible, actionable advice that you can start practising today.

By applying these approaches, you will gain new confidence and a fresh perspective when creating your next piece of content.

Because creativity is a skill, not a birthright, and a skill we all have within ourselves. We just need to activate it.

In doing so, you’ll discover that creativity is a joy, not a duty.

Blank pages are the best.

What we’ll cover

  • A history of creative blocks: it’s history, guises, causes, and symptoms

  • Advice of tackling creative blocks from authors, inventors, and entrepreneurs

  • Actionable methods for restarting your creativity, which you can adopt right away.

Who should attend?

Anyone who has ever stared at a page or screen, their fingers hovering, their mind blank, unable to find the spark to create.
