MENTOR DROP-INS WITH GRACE GOODWIN

Mentor sessions available to book in individual time slots.

Each session is half an hour. If you think you need an hour to discuss release strategy or live strategy, for example – you can book an hour. Please RSVP for two half hours next to each other.

Sessions will take place online – Grace will contact you in advance of your slot with a link.

Your progress log on your profile is the place to keep a record of your action points that come from your chat. You can also share your progress, plans, artwork, photos and links to new material on there. All mentors can view your logs.

We also recommend you update your Metrics each month so you can log your development on streaming, socials, press, etc. It creates a useful graphic that will allow you to visually see areas that you need to develop.
