First Business Development Jam Session of 2026: 

CREATING MISSION ALIGNED OFFERS THAT SELL

Hosted by The Alexander Technique Teachers of Greater Philadelphia

Sunday, March 29, 2026

10:00 AM – 12:00 Noon EST/7:00 AM - 9:00 AM PST/3:00 PM - 5:00 PM CET

Hybrid online/Zoom and in person at 202 Wallingford Ave, Wallingford, PA 19086

Recording will be available

COST: $79 (Early bird discount $50 ends February 21)

12:30 - 2 pm EST/9:30 - 11 am PST/5:30 - 7:00 pm CEST

In this workshop, we will create actionable “sketches” for two new offers. One will be an introduction or low hanging fruit that makes it as easy as possible for new clients to engage with you. This kind of offer is not about making profit; it’s about expanding your audience and learning more about them.

The second offer will be based on who your current clients are, why you love them, and what the next stage of their development might be. Even if you already have offers like this, the process you’ll learn will help you improve them.

The key to profitability is centering the needs and desires of your people, rather than the modality you use to deliver the transformation they long for. 

The workshop will be recorded, and you will get a PDF of the content.

Bonus PDF content:

  1. How to launch an offer;
  2. Step-by-step worksheets for each offer;
  3. Chart showing the relationship between iterating offers and establishing service/market fit.

THE COST OF THRIVING

Getting clear on financial goals to set fees, iterate offers, and grow your business model

Date to be set soon!

Personal financial clarity and health is the foundation of a sustainable business. You will bring information about your personal financial needs, your business income, and your projected business overhead.

You'll create a simple format for keeping clear accounts and estimating yearly income.

You’ll learn a formula to create a “cost of thriving” that meets all of your needs as a practitioner. Knowing what you really need helps you get creative in bringing in the income you desire! You’ll learn a formula for a simple business model, more complex business models, and how to integrate equitable pricing at the right time and in the right place for your business if you choose.

REGISTRATION LINK COMING SOON.

VISIONING THE FUTURE: 

Create a mission driven business for maximum impact and profitability

Date to be set soon!

Knowing why you do what you do is the most important task you will ever face as a business owner. “Why” leads naturally to “who” and “how” you structure and market your business.

Those who go all out marketing their work before they are clear on these elements will probably spin their wheels and wast precious time and resources.

Whoever your core audience is, in the current poly-crisis environment people want to know not only how you can help them, but how that process contributes to a better world for all. Folks really are looking out for their communities and neighbors, not just for themselves.

You may understand this inside yourself, but you also need to articulate it in a way your audience gets instantly. You can’t fake this piece of business development; you also can't excavate this deep information by working hard!

It's the kind of information that is hiding in plain sight. Others can see it readily, even if you feel like you're floating in the ether. In this workshop, we will do a moving meditation, take time in dyads to share insights with each other, and reflect in the larger group what has emerged.

Together, in simple conversation with others who care about our work, we can often discover ideas and truths that have eluded us for years! Once your mission is clear(er) all the other aspects of business development get much easier.

REGISTRATION LINK COMING SOON.

WHY WORK WITH CLARE?

I am a dancer, choreographer, and nationally certified Alexander Technique teacher who transferred my successful practice online during COVID. I created Mobile Body Alignment™ over a period of 5 years even before that, experimenting in the online space until I came up with a method that I knew would really work based on experience.

I was able to do that while increasing my income because I've worked extensively with wonderful business mentors like Jeremy Chance, Mark Silver, Jason Stein, and Paul Zelizer. I've also always been an independent artist and solo-preneur, so I've learned in the School of Hard Knocks. There is nothing I love better than earning my living doing something that I adore and that makes the world a better place, one student at a time.

I am certified as a teacher through AmSAT and ISMETA. I've been teaching the Alexander Technique for 25 years, and I love leading people on learning journeys into their bodies for healing and lifelong mobility.

My work, Mobile Body Alignment™, combines my 30 years as a professional dancer with the A.T. principles, making them easier to teach and share with all, even online. I also lead Mastermind Groups for innovative embodiment educators who want to build a financially thriving and stable business.

I love the magical space of live theater and have coached professional actors and dancers in many NYC productions, most recently What To Send Up When It Goes Down at BAM. I continue to develop my teaching in collaboration with my colleagues in the The Experimenters Union Learning Community which was created with generous funds from the Appalachian Springs Foundation.
