Bespoke Coaching/Training Programmes
In addition to the range of coaching and training options I provide for creatives and managers in the Creative Industries, I will be happy to work with you to develop a bespoke programme for your team.
This can address any of the 'people factors' that impact on your performance as a creative business - from the micro-level of individual creative thinking, to the macro-level of your interaction with clients, business partners and other organisations.
For example:
- Creative thinking and execution
- Creative flow
- Creative teamwork and collaboration
- Managing creative teams
- Managing clients and external business partners
- Sales
and new business pitches
What makes my coaching and training unique?
- I
have over 10 years' experience of coaching professional creatives and
artists, in fields as diverse as literature, theatre, advertising,
marketing, film, television, radio, dance, fashion, popular and
classical music, computer games and new media
- Since
2000 I have provided management coaching and training programmes for
clients including Transport
for London, Gist, Vodafone, BT, Servier Laboratories, Monkey
Communications and the Arts Council
- As a published poet and poetry editor I have first-hand experience of the creative process, which helps me relate to creatives' situation and build a good working rapport with them
- I have a wide range of professional training and experience - as well as current business coaching models, I can draw on my learnings from hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), psychotherapy, Reverse Therapy (bodymind healing), systems thinking, meditation, the Enneagram, creative writing and improvisational theatre
- For
the past 2 years I have been studying part-time for the MA
in
Creative and Media Enterprises at the University of Warwick -
this
has greatly added to my understanding of the Creative Industries and
