2023 Creative LIAisons Mentees

Creative LIAisons alum
MISSION STATEMENT:
A global coaching initiative to develop, educate, inspire and nurture emerging talent. The goal of this program is to give young creatives from around the globe, access to learn from some of the most experienced people working in our industry and related industries. This game-changing training academy is a powerful springboard for the current and next generation of talent. LIA created the exclusive and sought after Creative LIAisons program in 2012 as a way of giving back to the industry that supports us.
 
VIRTUAL PROGRAM:
The opportunity to have one-to-one coaching sessions with some of the finest creative minds is a golden opportunity for young creatives working in this business. This program will allow young creatives to interact with not just one, but three ‘Creative Coaches’ from around the globe. Mentees will have personal e-coaching sessions, of an hour each, with three different established industry leaders. They will cover all disciplines from creative, to strategy, to account management, etc. with emphasis on skill development, how to hone skills, elevate ideas and boost creative confidence to fast track creative careers. 
 
This game-changing training academy is a powerful springboard for you, the next generation of talent. It is an extremely rare opportunity for you to tap into the minds of industry luminaries, to learn from their expertise and experiences of their many years in the industry. The sessions are private and bespoke. Each session is designed to develop and grow young talent, coaching them to their full potential. Coaching is taking a talent where one can’t take themself. A good coach sees in you what you can’t see in yourself.
 
ON-SITE PROGRAM:
Creative LIAisons welcomes a select group of attendees to Las Vegas simultaneously with LIA judging, where there will be ample opportunities to meet, mingle and learn from top creatives, LIA jurors and each other. 
 
LIAisons features seminars, panel discussions and interactive workshops. As Creative LIAisons runs concurrently with LIA on-site Judging, attendees receive one-on-one mentoring from many of the jurors. LIA is the only show that allows attendees unlimited access to the jury and the invaluable experience to sit in on statue discussions as they occur in real-time.
 
Creativity is the most valuable asset in our business today.  You can’t teach creativity, but you can coach talent.
