Who do you work with?

I work with creative people who want to build a business around running workshops. You might be an artist, florist, potter, baker, photographer, illustrator, maker or another kind of creative. Whether you're planning your very first workshop or looking to grow an established workshop business, I'd love to help.

I've never run a workshop before. Can I still work with you?

Absolutely. Lots of the people I work with are right at the beginning of their workshop journey. If you've got a skill you'd love to teach but no idea where to start, we'll figure it out together.

I've already been running workshops. Is mentoring still for me?

Definitely. You might be looking to fill your workshops more consistently, feel more confident with your pricing or marketing, or work out what the next stage of your business looks like. We'll focus on whatever feels most important to you.

What's a Virtual Cuppa?

A Virtual Cuppa is a free 15 minute chat over Zoom. It's a chance for us to get to know each other, chat about your business and see whether we're the right fit. There's no pressure to book mentoring afterwards. If we both feel like it's a good match, we can chat about the next steps. If not, you'll still leave with a little more clarity than when we started.

What happens during a Strategy Session?

Before we meet, I'll send you a short questionnaire so I can get to know you and your business. We'll then spend 90 minutes talking through your ideas, your challenges and your goals. Together, we'll create a clear plan for your next steps. Afterwards, I'll send you a personalised action plan, and you'll have a week of WhatsApp support while you put everything into action.

Do I need a big Instagram following?

Not at all. Some of the most successful workshop businesses are built through local communities, word of mouth, partnerships and repeat customers. A large following can be helpful, but it's definitely not essential.

Will you tell me exactly what to do?

I'll always share what's worked for me, but I don't believe there's one "right" way to build a workshop business. Every business is different, so my role is to listen, ask plenty of questions and help you find an approach that feels right for you.

Is this only for craft workshops?

No. Although my own background is in creative workshops, I work with all kinds of workshop hosts. If you teach a creative skill (or you're hoping to) you'll be right at home here.

Do you offer ongoing mentoring?

Yes. Some people leave with everything they need after a Strategy Session. Others decide they'd like a little more support as they continue building their business. If that's something you're interested in, we can chat about it after we've worked together.

How do I get started?

The best place to start is with a free Virtual Cuppa. We'll have a relaxed chat about your business, answer any questions and see whether we're the right fit.

How much does a Strategy Session cost?

A Strategy Session costs £149 and includes a 90 minute mentoring session, a personalised action plan and a week of WhatsApp support afterwards.

Do we meet online or in person?

Most sessions take place over Zoom, but if you're based in or around West Yorkshire, I'm happy to meet in person too.

Still got a question?

If there's anything you're wondering that isn't covered here, just get in touch. I know starting something new can feel a little daunting, and I'm always happy to answer any questions before you book.
