Would you be willing to be interviewed?

I am always looking for more information about how I can support artists and craftspeople. I have found one of the best ways to get ideas and refine my offerings is to talk to the people who might be in my "tribe".

To give you a sense of how this works-
We will meet for an hour on Zoom usually. The first 1/2 hour I will be interviewing you about topics related to the offering that I am putting together. The second 1/2 hour will be a coaching session for you! 

This is the thing, both of them end up being useful to you! And they are fun. 

In the interview I ask things like what you want for your creative life, what your goals are, and what your challenges are, what gets in the way. I have found that the clarity that you get after that part of the conversation is very valuable.

​ Then I ask things that help me understand where it would be useful for me to put my information out- how can people find me and the help they need. And finally I ask about particular offers I have or am working on and what your thought are about them.

In the coaching session, we take whatever your goals are and your struggles are and we focus in on what would be most helpful for you. There is nothing cookie cutter about it, we are looking for what fits for who you are.



I would love to talk to you! And if you know anyone else who might enjoy this opportunity, please pass it on!

​I should mention that this is not a hard sell- it is not a sales conversation at all. If it is just this exchange that is great. And if we both feel like it is a great fit and I could be of help to you beyond this free session, then I will ask if you want to talk about what it would look like to work together. There is absolutely no pressure there.

If you would still like to give back to me in exchange for an introductory conversation, I really appreciate that! I have a form that asks the questions that I would have asked you live. Fill that out and go ahead and sign up for a intro conversation!
