Trainer and Business Adviser to the Creative Industries.
Creative people are told, these days, that in order to make a living they should see themselves as entrepreneurs and be ‘business people’. This is the case whether they are individual artists or creators, running a small creative business or an arts charity, or working within a larger organisation.
And that’s alll well and good. However that advice ignores many factors such as: lack of confidence with money, accounting, finance and business; that most business training and coaching comes entirely from a large business perspective (and I’m talking as someone who has an MBA) and that there is a culture that comes with ‘business’ that many people find goes against their natural way of operating in the world.
I create impactful training and coaching so that creative businesses can grow and thrive.
