On a Personal Note
I am also on that list, and it is truly an honor to join such a knowledgeable group, and to contribute to this valuable event. If you’ve been thinking about attending, go to the link below for registration details. This event is for all interested industry professionals, NAJA members and non-members alike.
What I will be Sharing
My session is titled “Appraising, Your Valuable Time & Expertise: How to Improve Your Worth by Sharing Your Knowledge.” If you are wondering how you can justify increasing your income without taking on a second job, then this session is for you. We will examine typical jewelry appraisals and discuss the many ways in which you can expand the sharing of your expertise and therefore justify your added value.
Why It Matters
Appraisers don’t just assign value to jewelry—we define value by interpreting, explaining, and issuing our findings. That skill set is powerful. By learning to better articulate your expertise and expand how you share it, you can boost your perceived value… and income at the same time. You’ll leave with practical ideas and fresh inspiration to help you step into a more empowered version of your professional self.
