Everyone needs tailored advice now and then, and we’re happy to offer our services exclusively for creative people who need that bit of extra help. Our creative business advisory programs can provide extra information, an understanding ear or a little push in the right direction.

You can choose from three options:

Our one-off COACH sessions are ideal if you need answers to specific questions, some tailored advice, or you’d like to workshop a business idea with our experts in a safe and confidential environment. 

The more rigorous GROW program is a regular series of advisory sessions designed to help you make goals, stay accountable, and plan the future of your creative business.

Our PLANNING programs are a more strategic approach, working with you and your team on business planning, goal setting and trouble-shooting for the short and long-term success of your creative business or organisation.

Mentoring Programs for Organisations

 

We can develop and implement tailored advisory and mentoring programs for larger organisations, selected community groups, and commercial teams. We have developed peer-to-peer programs for arts organisations, academic resources for an educational approach to mentoring, and consultancy for creative corporates that build the capacity of their teams. Imagine how could we help you!

WHO ARE THE ADVISORS?

We are so glad you asked!

 

We are all creative practitioners first and foremost, and we’ve acquired business experience and education throughout our professional practice. We understand the reality of combining creativity with business (it’s our lived experience, after all!) and we’ve also worked with literally thousands of clients to help them cultivate the same kind of harmony.

NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAY

 

“Monica is one of the most inspirational, motivational and thorough guest lecturers I have in the Screen course of study at NIDA. She is the unique combination of hard task master, caring adviser and complete professional. Each and every student gains immeasurably from their interaction with Monica and this results in a student who is self motivated and encouraged to be bold, strategic and then audacious in pursuit of their creative life. I wish I could clone her! .”
