On September 8, 2025, I’ll join Resilient by Design—a nationwide, one-day workshop series from industry icons Renée Dalo (you may remember our Podcast interview on Thought Leadership!) and Brian A M Green—as the featured marketing speaker for its Washington DC stop. Built for wedding pros by wedding pros, the program blends deep-dive education with real-time implementation, so you walk out with finished work and a clear roadmap.
Why this workshop stands out
- Full-day, hands-on learning—you’ll work on your business in the room, not just take notes.
- Three targeted sessions covering leadership, profitability, and marketing aimed at today’s market realities.
- Networking + working lunch to keep ideas (and caffeine) flowing.
- Exclusive workbooks & digital resources for post-event follow-through.
My session
Are You Ready for the New Way of Doing Business in Weddings?
The wedding industry has shifted dramatically—consumer priorities have evolved, marketing channels have splintered, and a new generation of couples is rewriting the playbook. In this interactive session I’ll dissect where we are now and the measures you need to thrive next year and beyond.
Key takeaways
- Understanding the consumer behaviors of engaged couples – what Gen Z & younger-millennial partners value (and refuse to tolerate) in 2025–26.
- Thriving in the new era – pricing, positioning, and client-experience shifts that convert today’s inquiries into raving fans.
- Leveraging social proof & third-party credibility – why peer validation and media mentions carry more weight than ever, plus step-by-step tactics to earn both.
