How the Coaching Works: The Two-Session Cycle
On completion of your application form, your mentor will contact you and may ask for further information. They may ask more questions about your previous experience and goals. If you are wanting to be coached in tutoring or band leading and are currently already working in these areas, your mentor will ask you to upload a video of one of your sessions.
One of our expert Brass Foundations team members will then analyse the information and prepare a plan for the next steps you need to take. This analysis will be the basis for your initial online meet-up (approximately 45 minutes), where your mentor will talk through the findings with you and guide you towards your next steps. You will have time to then implement these steps before meeting with your mentor again within the next 2 - 3 weeks.
If you are working on developing your tutoring or band leading, you will be invited to submit a second video within 2–3 weeks, which your mentor will analyse and use to provide further actionable ideas during your final online meet-up.
If you are working on Building your Brand or the Getting Started Checklist, you will be invited to complete a short questionnaire showing progress you have made since the previous meeting. Your mentor will analyse this and use it to provide further actionable ideas during your final online meet-up.
Following the second session, your mentor will provide further guidance and help you map out your future next steps. All constructive feedback is delivered in writing, and any suggested BBE training or resources will be included as part of your investment.
