FAQ
Why do I need to schedule a [free!] Strategy Meeting?
We take our commitment to you seriously. Before you commit to us, we want to discuss your goals, get to know your artistry, and make sure we all feel aligned before we move forward.
Why 8 sessions?
In order for the individualized training to take on large-scale creative goals, a series of meetings is vital to generate true progress. The goals for your 8 sessions will be mapped out in advance and, by the time you reach the end of the process, you will have tangible evidence of your artistic accomplishments.
Can I repeat the process after my 8 sessions are complete?
Yes! The content will always be adapted to your new and evolving creative goals. After your initial 8 sessions are complete, you may immediately enroll again or return at a later date.
Can I have a collaborator join me for some or all of my sessions?
Of course! It is fine for you to work with a collaborator during any or all of your sessions. If the primary focus of your individualized training is a project you are creating with another artist, we encourage both of you to participate in the Spotlight Sessions.
My schedule is crazy. Do I have to schedule all eight sessions in advance?
No way! Although you are required to commit to all 8 sessions, the individual meetings can be scheduled one at a time, if necessary. It is important not only to build-in appropriate writing time between sessions, but also to schedule our meetings in accordance with all the other responsibilities in your life. We will work with your schedule to set the plan that’s right for you.
Do I need to have 1 big project like a musical or an album in order for Spotlight Sessions to make sense?
No! Spotlight Sessions can focus on any creative goal. This can range from a large-scale project to a series of craft-driven accomplishments. Our FREE Strategy Call can be used to identify whether your current goals and ideas align with the potential for Spotlight Sessions.
These sessions are an opportunity for you to set the agenda.
Let us know what you’re working on, or what you’d like to be working on, or where you want to end up, and we’ll draw a road map together to make it happen for you.
There’s no limit to what shape these sessions can take. The only non-negotiable element is that YOU and YOUR WORK are the exclusive focus.
