Is it time to build a sustainable business around your creative ideas which helps you to thrive, not just survive?
Do you have a head full of ideas but feel like you’re constantly busy while worrying about where your next piece of work will come from?
Perhaps you feel worried that you don’t have a plan or are unclear about your creative goals, so you’re constantly reacting rather than being proactive?
You’ve probably tried traditional business advice, but it feels restrictive and doesn’t fit how your creative mind actually works. You want to build something sustainable without compromising what makes you unique.
If this sounds like you, I can help
I offer flexible 1:1 business coaching designed specifically for creative minds like yours.
We work in whatever way suits you best:
Space to Think: Sometimes you just need someone who gets how creative minds work to listen, ask the right questions and give you space to figure things out.
Structured Support: Other times you need practical tools, accountability and step-by-step guidance through my Create Space programme – which gives you templates, new tools to try and regular check-ins.
Your Choice: It’s up to you – we can work on anything.
A project, a big change you want to make, we can explore the way you work, what works and what doesn’t, what’s stopping you or how you’re getting in your own way.
The main thing is that we keep things clear and simple, and together we’ll work through what comes up to make progress and get you where you need to go.
If so, I can help.
I am an accredited Relational Dynamics 1st coach.
I work with creative professionals and artists through regular 60-90 minute sessions over 3 – 12 months through 1-2-1 coaching and mentoring, normally online.
A bit about me…
I’m Manda, and I’ve raised over £2 million for creative projects while mentoring hundreds of creative professionals and artists to make their ideas happen.
As an experienced producer, fundraiser and Relational Dynamics 1st accredited coach, I know how to make creative projects and businesses work.
I understand that creative minds work differently – and that’s your superpower, not something to fix. My approach works with how you naturally think, helping you thrive, not just survive.
“Over the last 6 months I’ve had the best experience of receiving coaching support in my career! My big take away from my time spent with Manda is: What is already working for you?
As a result of this support I am much clearer and confident in how I think about many aspects of my business that I was routinely avoiding because I’d put them on the ‘too difficult’ list!”
Chris Chinnock
Founder, Our Creative Connection
“Manda is a skilled coach who puts you at your ease. Her approach is sensitive – allowing you to explore and follow your own thought processes, as well as gently prodding and asking the ‘useful question’ when you need it! She is very professional and is great with follow-up too – a font of useful resources etc. I would recommend her whole-heartedly.”
Sal Goldsmith
Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships,World Heart Beat Academy
“Receiving coaching from Manda was so beneficial to me at exactly the right time! She helped me to gain confidence in the next stage of my artistic development and feel strong and capable to push forward with a new venture, which I had been feeling nervous about. It also gave clarity to certain inner fears and insecurities. Highly recommended!”
