Pricing your work and knowing your value with Lizzies Lines

Learn how to communicate, price and deliver value with tips from the Creative Police Department (CPD) on how to avoid undervaluing yourself or your work.

In this 1-hour session, you’ll learn how to become a valuable creative citizen through lessons in how to:

1. Ask the right questions from the very beginning

2. Succinctly articulate the value you bring to any project

3. Price your services based on results and impact, not just time and labour

4. Deliver value through your most powerful strengths, passions and values

5. Build on your value through paid and (controversial) occasional un/underpaid work

Join us at the masterclass to find out more!
