ONLINE: Your audience is not "Everyone"!
Your Audience Is Not "Everyone"!
In this Make Happen workshop, we tackle one of the most common traps creatives fall into: trying to appeal to everyone, and ending up connecting with no one.
"Everyone" is not an audience. It's a lack of direction. When your work is for everyone, it's really for no one—diluted, unfocused, and easily forgotten. But when you get specific about who you're trying to impact and how, something remarkable happens. Your work becomes sharper, your message clearer, and your connection deeper.
Many creatives resist niching. It feels limiting. What about all those other ideas? What about self-expression? But here's the truth: specificity isn't a cage—it's a powerful constraint that creates freedom. When you know exactly who you're speaking to, you can speak with confidence, clarity, and conviction.
In this practical online workshop, you'll explore what it really means to define your audience and how getting specific can transform your creative impact. Using exercises and distinctions from The Make Happen Method, you'll move from vague intentions to focused action.
In this workshop you will explore:
The power of specificity — How knowing exactly who you're for and what you're offering creates clarity, momentum, and meaningful connections.
Niching as constraint — Why limitations fuel creativity rather than restrict it, and how focusing your audience expands your impact.
Beyond yourself — How to shift from self-expression to purposeful impact, creating work that resonates and spreads.
Whatever stage you're at in defining your creative direction, this lively and grounded workshop will leave you feeling clearer about who you serve, more confident in your message, and ready to make work that truly matters.
Whether you're an artist, designer, performer, filmmaker, photographer, or writer, this session will help you move beyond the fear of "leaving people out" and embrace the freedom that comes from knowing exactly who your work is for.
Who this workshop is for:
Creatives who say their work is "for everyone" but struggle to connect with anyone
People afraid that niching will limit their creative freedom or opportunities
Creative practitioners and entrepreneurs who want to stand out in a crowded market
Anyone who wants to create work with focused impact rather than hoping to appeal to everyone
Those ready to get specific about who they serve and how they want to change lives
Join us and leave ready to focus your creative energy, connect with your true audience, and make good things happen.

"I hadn't expected the class to be in real time - as many classes that I do online are pre recorded. However, once I decided that it would be beneficial for me to fully engage despite my anxiety I'm actually glad I did." -Charlotte
"A very positive experience that does a lot to help you break down what's holding you back and to say it out loud to others who are experiencing similar troubles." -Connor
