What’s the format of the Musician’s Ask & Give Circle?

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. One of my goals as a coach is to foster thriving communities with amazing musician entrepreneurs who will support and uplift one another up and that's exactly what this event will do!

After a quick welcome, you will meet new likeminded musicians in breakout rooms (5 min)

Then we'll all come back to the main Zoom room, and the floor will open up for you to share what you're up to, a challenge you are facing and make a request for support (only if you want to)

Everyone in the circle is invited to offer support, including me:)

You also don't have to ask for support and can simply be part of the community to offer ideas and/or just listen to others
