AMA coaching scheme for senior arts professionals
Talented and highly-skilled arts marketers leave our sector every year. In order to help the industry survive and flourish, the AMA would like to help them explore other available options such as building their potential in their current role and exploring leadership opportunities for the future.
Using coaches from the arts and business sectors, the AMA’s one-to-one coaching scheme aims to develop our more senior and experienced AMA members – resulting in individuals, arts organisations and the sector becoming better equipped to develop visitors, audiences, and participants.
