Thank you to Richard Bingham, Professor in the School of Media Studies/Creative Advertising at Humber College for his complimentary write up on the CAMP BLACK BAG presentations I have given to his students. 

"Heidi Ehlers' CAMP BLACK BAG: The Boot Camp for Your Career is like finding fifty bucks in your pocket that you didn't know you had.

 

Except it's not fifty bucks you find - what you find is your own capacity to have the career you really want, rather than the career that just happens to you.

 

And that is worth a hell of a lot more than fifty bucks.

Creative people generally don't take control of their careers; we aren't trained to think about it, and I suspect most of us believe that great careers happen by a kind of magic over which we have no control. Heidi blasts that myth to pieces, and then gives you a practical toolkit to take ownership over  -- and responsibility for --  your career. And though her focus is on advertising creatives particularly, her approach applies to practically any profession.

And Heidi is a terrific speaker; funny, engaging, inspiring, challenging, and scary - in the best possible way.

CAMP BLACK BAG is the talk wish I had got when I was twenty-five (though it would be valuable to anyone, at any stage in their careers. Which I say from experience).

Heidi has graciously brought a version of this presentation to my advertising students at Humber College on several occasions, to great effect, and I firmly believe that is one of the most important things we can expose them to.

CAMP BLACK BAG is a game changer."
