Career Mentoring

Wondering what you can do next to further your career? Could you use the help of industry professionals who excel in positioning songwriters and artist/writers to succeed? Meet the Global Songwriters Team!

There is no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all plan of success for creators. All Songwriters are at different levels of development and have different goals, responsibilities and relationships. A one-hour, personalized, face-to-face Career Mentoring session is focused on developing a step-by-step career plan specifically designed for you. Imagine! One hour out of your day could bring the focus and clarity you need on what to do next for your music industry career.

These one-on-one sessions can also be utilized for a personal and focused evaluation of (3) of your songs (with the lyric) with a music industry professional to further your unique vision and career goals on the music industry.

Once our hour is over, I will send you an email with the notes that I have taken along with the suggested plan of action for the next 30 to 90 days. Depending on our mutual assessment, you may be ready for a connection now. Either way, you will come to realize the next step toward making that real industry connection. When we both feel you are ready, I will not only help you make that first connection, but I will teach you how to make a connection yourself so that YOU CAN take advantage of future opportunities.
