Canva 101 for Entrepreneurs (Holidays)

December 4, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

You know you need to show up online—on social media, with flyers, with visuals that  make your business look professional. But the thought of designing posts, creating  brochures, or making Reels stops you cold.

You open Canva, stare at a blank template, and feel overwhelmed. You ask yourself: What should I post? How do I even make this look good? By the end of the day, nothing gets created, and your business stays invisible.

This workshop is your breakthrough.

We’ll walk you step by step through Canva Pro (with a 30-day free trial), showing you  exactly how to create the designs you need:

• Social media posts

• Reels

• Brochures, and more—without needing to be a designer or appear on camera.

You’ll learn how to use templates, brand kits, and Canva’s Content Planner to  schedule your posts in advance so you never scramble again.

And when you feel stuck on ideas or captions, we’ll show you how to tap into ChatGPT  as your creative assistant—a tool that can generate post ideas, draft captions, or spark  visuals you can drop straight into Canva.

Together, Canva and ChatGPT become your secret weapons to beat the blank page,  save hours, and finally show up consistently in your business.

Come ready to design, create, and leave with your first scheduled post already  done.

3 Core Takeaways

1. Design With Ease – Learn to navigate Canva like a pro: templates, brand kits,  and quick tricks to create posts, brochures, and even simple videos in minutes.

2. Plan & Schedule – Discover how Canva’s Content Planner lets you map out your  social media calendar, add captions, and schedule posts directly to Instagram,  Facebook, LinkedIn, and more.

3. Beat the Blank Page – Use ChatGPT (or Canva’s Magic Write) to brainstorm post  ideas, draft captions, and overcome the “I don’t know what to say” block that stops  most entrepreneurs.

Important Note for Participants

This is a hands-on, interactive workshop. Be prepared to follow along, try designs, and  practice scheduling posts. Participation is key—just listening won’t give you results. (If  you’re at work and can’t be on camera, that’s understandable.)

Please note: No recordings or slides will be provided. Instead, you’ll receive  workbooks and templates to practice and apply immediately.
