GROUP SESSIONS
Not everyone has the budget for 1:1 sessions. Why not share the load with group sessions?
Group sessions are a little different to 1:1 support. They’re more like a group workshop - only you get to choose the group!
Great for friends / studio groups / collaborators.

We can meet as often as you want. Once/week, once every 2 weeks, monthly, or even quarterly. It’s your choice.

Send me an email at mail@alisonballard.com to arrange an appointment.
APPLYING FOR FUNDING TO COVER THE COSTS?
First of all, great idea!
Working with a coaching/mentoring on your project often makes it stronger - and funders recognise this.
Funders want to help you grow - a coach/mentor is a great way to do that!
As a rule of thumb, it’s good to meet with a mentor 1-2 times before a project starts, 1-2 times during, and 1-2 times after. So, a Block of 4 or 6 is great for you.
If you want to talk about how many sessions you might need, and how to work these into your budget, get in touch for a FREE 20-minute chat.
