‘Managing Your Creative Career’ Workshop
A bespoke 8 week workshop developed by Bridget Sterling. It aims to:
- Facilitate creative practitioners in the workplace by helping identify key driving forces and transferable skills
- Introduce the notion of portfolio careers
- Setting up and supporting a framework for good business practice for those who set up as a sole trader, freelancer or collective, including managing finance, planning and evaluation.
The course is delivered with a less formal approach and leans towards facilitation with inter-participant learning through self-reflection, discussion and engagement and sharing with others. This will be achieved through some teaching but also tasks, activities, visualisations and discussions.
Feedback from previous participants: ‘I would like to thank you hugely for such an interesting and useful course. And to express my respect for your ability to combine/facilitate/present two such very different knowledge bases (the self development side and the practical, business) so successfully and so that both fed each other.’
