@tamara.galon and I founded Music Leaders Network to create a leadership programme for mid-career women across the music industry. We both have a valued network of people who twe have worked with, met at events or had coaching with over the years and wanted to create a leadership programme with a network built in - providing future support, confidential advice and someone to have in your corner in the industry. Music Leaders Network is a transformational programme, aimed at people with 5-25 years experience. It is the only UK leadership programme that brings together mid-career women* from across the industry and establishes them in a deliberate peer-to-peer network. The programme is known for creating effective leaders, giving participants the skills they need to increase their visibility and realise their potential in an industry that is still male dominated. Music Leaders Network includes 🧑‍💻an online learning platform with video and handout materials 👋2 full days together offsite (at the start and end of the programme) 📝5 individual sessions of executive coaching 🫶regular group seminars on zoom ⭕small-group learning circles and access to our monthly community calls. *Music Leaders Network centres women and is inclusive of people who identify as non-binary or trans.
