Coaching for Artists

"I found [Ari] insightful and delightful and never short of tools. It's sort of like hiring a professional plumber rather than getting help from a handy friend; the pro has everything he needs, knows which tool to apply, knows where it is in the box and can grab it quickly, and even has the arcane tools that rarely come out but are the only ones that work for a particular problem. ... I think [she] is a great talent and a powerful contributor to a better world." ...more

Pursuing a Career in the Arts?

Are you:

• struggling to create a sustainable career in the fine arts?
• hesitant to quit your "day job" because you're not sure how to make your talents pay the bills?
• energized to share your strengths with the world, but unsure how to get started?

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. There's a reason people may have told you, "if you can do anything else, do it." Whether you specialize in the visual, performing, literary or media arts, excellence in your craft is only part of what it takes to create a lasting career in this richly fulfilling field.

Creative people love the freedom and flexibility to fully express their art, but are sometimes intimidated by the realities of marketing, self-promotion and administration - in short, we help you with the "business" of your art.

We Can Help

I came to coaching after nearly twenty years as a musician, educator, speaker and clinician. And as a coach, I've spent the better part of a decade helping coaches and entrepreneurs build small businesses around their creative passions.

This combined background enables me to truly understand the kinds of challenges you face, and to help you navigate the most direct path to success. Out of this experience, I've developed a customized six-month coaching program for artists seeking to make the transition to a full-time, professional career. Through this program, you will:

• become more comfortable and effective at pitching and promoting yourself
• create a personal marketing plan to increase your visibility
in the marketplace
• establish a "brand" for your art which sets you apart from the competition
• develop a long-term strategy for your success and concrete action plans to make this vision a reality

Our Process

No matter what your vision is, and what you'd like to happen in your personal and professional life, the path is just as important as the destination. I've designed this program to ensure your journey to success is as fulfilling and inspiring as it can be.

Once we've defined your vision for success, we'll work as a coach/client team to develop a customized action plan to systematically address your personal and professional goals through:

• accountability and structured goal-setting - to maintain forward momentum
• weekly check-ins - to measure your progress
• analysis of your environment and key skills - to focus our efforts
• phone and e-mail support - to keep you "un-stuck"

This weekly support and assessment will help you see the progress you're making week after week, while all the while keeping your "eye on the prize" of career success!
