The Guardian Masterclasses

Are you a budding freelancer looking for motivation and practical insight? Have you been plugging away for a few years and need to get that spark and passion back? Then join the first session of our bootcamp with successful entrepreneurs and talent coaches.
Sometimes people take the “free” in freelancer too literally. This evening class will take you through the dos and don’ts of getting started or keeping going, including how to ask for what you’re worth, and finding and retaining clients. 
We’ll demystify the freedom and productivity trap, share advice on how to stay on task, be happy and motivated, and look after yourself in tough times.
This session will be delivered by the Freelancer Bootcamp series curator and award-winning businesswoman Natalie Campbell, entrepreneur Emma Sexton and special guests, followed by a Q&A.
