Subscribe - Mentoring and Coaching for Creatives

Beat The Block

Every Friday, all subscribers will receive my new weekly advice column, Beat the Block.

I’ll be sharing tips and advice aimed at supporting you on your creative journey, answering some of our most frequently asked questions.

I'll provide tips on subjects such as 'How to Prepare to Negotiate', 'How to Resolve Conflict' to 'How Do I Say Yes to the Right Opportunities.'

I’ll draw on my own arts experience, and proven processes and techniques I use to get my clients results, combined with insider tips from successful artists and creative leaders.

If you have a question that you’d like me to respond to in a future in this column, please email me at admin@artistmentor.co.uk or follow and share on Instagram @cerihand.
