Mentoring for Emerging Artists: Funding and Production Guidance
Mentor for:
- Art Council Bursary Awards;
- Art Centre Residencies;
- City/County Council Bursaries.
My mentoring/coaching supports emerging artists and creatives in:
- Funding applications: Many artists encounter difficulty with the technical elements of funding proposals. As a successful recipient of grants, bursaries and residencies to support my own creative practice (Theatre Project Award 2020, YPCE Bursary Award 2020 and 2022, Galway City Bursaries through the years, etc etc) I can help you navigate proposals and empower you through this process. We will research the best funding to apply for. Deadlines, support documents, partnerships, project planning and time frame.
- Budgeting: Looking at budgeting templates can be very overwhelming. I can assure you it is easier than what it looks like. Full session can be spend on project planning, time frame and on the financial reality strictly related to it.
- Networking: I know how networking can be daunting for introverted or inexperienced creative professionals. I will show you how to enjoy social settings and maximize your potential for creating career connections or just having inspiring conversations.
- Production: Paths to production are not straight forwards and very different from art field to art field. I can guide and coach you from a “seed” idea to a full stage production. We will talk about casting but also insurance and contracting.
Expect at least 3 sessions. One every three weeks approximately (or as per your plan).
One hour each session.

Below are some of my Life Coaching skills that I believe can be useful to achieve anything in life.
Values-Based Decision Making
Values are what is important to you.
They remain relatively consistent throughout the course of your life. Emotions change rapidly.
Is your Decision Making process emotion-based or value-based?
Values-Based Decision Making Coaching will be using Values to manage Emotions and Behaviors.
This process will create stability. It works on emotions generated from thoughts having as their central theme – Family, Religion, Health, Education or Finance. Themes important to establishing your identity. Helping to discover and clarify your values is a way to create a map that will guide you through the decision paths of your life. You will discover what is truly essential to you in your life.
Choose a Life of Fulfillment rather than a Life of Toleration.
Life and Time Balance
Are you looking for more clarity and harmony in your personal and professional life?
Balance is a state of equilibrium. It can be in a physical, emotional and spiritual form.
WHY WE NEED BALANCE?
In some points of our life, everyone wants to achieve balance.
– To take care and nurture yourself;
– To know what your priorities are;
– To improve your organizational and planning skills;
– To be ready for the unknown.
I will help you to have more clarity in each sphere of your life, acknowledging your true values, and prioritizing your projects on a long term basis. Finding time for yourself and making money.
For most business people WORK is LIFE.
Using your talents to the fullest and being intellectually stimulated and able to fulfill your passion can help you be a better parent, a better friend, a better husband. It increases self esteem, incorporates your values, gives you energy instead of draining you. It allows you to be your true self all of the time.
So if you want to successfully juggle a full professional life with an equally satisfying personal life:
DROP YOUR GUILT!!!!
and
BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT YOUR TIME!!!
Don’t think of the two aspects of your life as antagonistic because “IT IS ALL LIVING”.
Is there a way you can combine them?
Together we will find it.
Working on Time Management, Stress Management, Priorities Scales, Solutions Focused Strategies.
From the first session you will create your own Action Plan and Routines. From now on…
… KEEP CALM AND LEARN HOW TO JUGGLE.
