Bespoke Support & Guidance
By means of introduction, here's a quick roundup of current and recent projects:
Coaching/Mentoring
I've just piloted the Coaching Skills for Artists course - funded by EMDA - in Nottingham, Leicester and Northampton (see participant feedback below), and I'm currently working one to one with a painter, a bespoke metalworker, a film-maker, a maker of theatre, a installation/projection artist, and career coaching with staff at arts council and local authorities - read more here.
Writing
I'm Business Editor for Craft&Design magazine; writing articles, tipsheets and downloads - plus writing my regular blog articles and twittering! Read more..
Organisational Development & Evaluation
Currently working with Soft Touch, Leicester, evaluating the Mash Up YSDF programme. Also evaluating a major Cultural Leadership development project for Kirklees Council, and reviewing the Arts Development Officer post for the Youth Offending Service in Leicester.
If you would like more information or an informal chat, ring 0141 416 0555 or email here. I work throughout Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Yorkshire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire. I do travel further afield if required.
‘The coach was amazing! I will use these tools with young people for their personal growth, and on projects.’
S B – Leicester City Youth Service
‘I have some real practical guidance on tools to take and use in my own training and consultancy practice, I will use this for mentoring and board placement interviews, board development training and sponsorship training. I need to bring out information and problems in groups and this gives me a far better approach to doing that.’
