Canva for Coaches

This happened last week.

I was in a marketing meeting where I'm learning cool stuff about how to test messaging on Facebook ads to see what people respond to.

Very fun stuff.

I reported to the group that I had just finished a webinar The Future of Coaching is Somatic and there were over 84 people registered. 

Wow. Very happy with that as an outcome.

A bit later, another person was reporting on their wins. They had also just done a webinar.  Nice, but she added - "with over 6,000 registered". I thought perhaps I misheard. But no, it was 6000.

After picking up my jaw off the floor, I took a breath and asked "what business are you in?" and she said "I teach coaches and others how to do IT for their businesses"

This gave me a moment of pause.

I can take a hint.

As I have a long history in teaching IT and I'm in the coaching world, there could a pretty good intersection here.

AND

There is a great need.

So I thought it would be a good idea to have MCA start a series of technical presentations for it's members and use this also to invite others into the organization.

There is no better place to start this series than CANVA

Canva is an online service that allows you to create graphics for use in emails (like the ticket at the top of this email), the MCA logo. It is indispensable for quickly creating great looking social media posts.

Things you can do:
- find royalty free photos, videos, and music

- remove the background from images

- easily create content for Facebook, linkedin, insta, etc. with excellent pre-created templates. (wait till you see this. It's mind blowing)

- you even create videos. (We wont be getting into that in this presentation, but it's there to do)

- post directly to Facebook or other service

- share you work with others without requiring them to login

I looooove Canva - and I'm a tough critic of online services.

This session is an INTRODUCTION so we will go over the service from starting up to getting finished product.  I And it will be packed with best practices from actual use of the product.
