An eight-month learning programme for women (cis and trans) working in the music industries, supported by Sony Music.

This programme invites you to explore and expand what leadership means to you. Does it look like nurturing and being a positive role model, paving the way, creating and inspiring change, or being more confident in your own career path?

Running from October 2024 to May 2025, you’ll take part in:

• A community gathering
• Online workshops
• A weekend retreat
• A peer-to-peer coaching group

You’ll learn how to manage pressure, improve communication skills, assert influence, build financial sustainability and resilience, and make a lasting impact in your field.

You could work for a commercial institution, a local grassroots organisation or as a freelancer. You might be a promoter, agent, project manager, or event producer. Or maybe you work in marketing and PR, music education, talent development, or for a recording studio or record label.

You should be shaking things up in the music industries in some way, advocating for a better future. If you’re passionate about making positive changes in your personal and professional life, then this is for you!

All participants will also receive a £400 development bursary to support their continued professional development and self-reflection beyond this programme, like paying for mentoring or coaching. Whatever will better equip you for the future.
