MENTORING WITH ME

For a truly in depth, tailored training scheme, nothing will beat mentoring with an experienced professional.

  • You can choose when your mentorship begins, the first session is around 2-3 hours.  A pre-session questionnaire is sent out so that I can see what is most important for you as well as getting to know you and your business.

  • Your second session is around 6 weeks later (this is flexible) to refocus your goals, catch up and fine tune what you have been working on.

  • The mentorship is flexible in terms of how you use your time and can cover any subject area including shooting, editing, styling, business, marketing, SEO etc...  Regular check ins are advised and I am on hand for any help or questions you might have.

  • Creating a long-term plan during your first session helps clarify in your mind where you are heading as well as setting shorter goals for you to achieve.

  • The aim is to incorporate you in your work and throughout your business to make it stand out and unique to you alone, and therefore memorable to your clients.

  • An online workspace board is provided so we can communicate throughout your mentorship via your set goals as well as keeping track of your progress.

  • Online via zoom calls or face to face- whichever is best due to geographical locations.  I have mentored people in the UK, US & Australia so there really are no limits.
