FAQS

Is this program right for me?

If you want to create a project (and actually see through its completion!) that will enhance, grow or establish your business – this is a place for you. It is also a wonderful fit for those working on a creative project (such as a book or art work) and would like to eventually monetize your work.  Check out this list of projects I love to support women in creating.

Is this business coaching? 

This program is a mix of creative and business consulting. I believe that creative projects are key to establishing, marketing and scaling a business; this program aims to help you create a project and also monetize it. here are some examples: 

  • You are a service provider and see clients 1:1, but you want to create a small group program. We guide you in conceptualizing what the program looks like, including what specific assets you need to create, how it will be marketed and how it will be monetized. 

  • You are a business owner who wants to create content more regularly to position yourself as a thought leader.  Possible options to achieve your goal include our guidance in developing a blog or LinkedIn content plan, along with how to align this content to specific conversions and opportunities. 

  • You have an established business and audience but have always wanted to offer an in-person event or retreat.  Our program would provide coaching throughout the planning and marketing process, ensuring that you also plan for how to align your business in its entirety to your executed event or retreat.

  • You want to start or complete a creative writing project.  A structured accountability plan and creative feedback would be provided by this program, as well  marketing strategies for once the project reaches completion. 

  • You want to grow an authentic community element to an existing business to boost brand awareness and conversions. This program will provide  guidance regarding choosing an option that makes the most sense, which includes supporting both  the technical and creative elements. 

The options are endless. And if you aren’t sure yet, we encourage you to fill out an interest form, so I can learn about your specific project and determine if your goals are a good fit for this program. 

 I am not creative! Can this program help me? 

Yes! I understand that everyone has her own zone of genius and that creativity might not be where you shine. I also understand that not everyone is in a financial place to outsource creative projects(plus there are some concepts that a founder just needs to lead or be heavily involved in the creation). The Studio is a place where both non-creative and creative types can feel supported and inspired.

If I can’t make a class live, will a recording be available? 

Yes, a recording of class, notes and resources will be emailed the morning after all studio sessions every week. 

What can I expect to have completed at the end of the program?

We will set specific goals at the beginning of the project. End results will vary, as the projects themselves are different. You can expect to develop a solid plan to execute your project, start much of the work, complete at least one portion and have a plan on exactly how to move forward. Some participants may finish the ten weeks ready to launch (depending if there had been previous work completed) and others will finish well on their way. This program is a great fit if you are looking to launch a project end of year or Q1 of 2025, as well as have a plan for first half of 2025

Will I receive specific coaching on my business or project?

Yes, each week you will have the opportunity to share progress, ask specific questions and receive “lightning coaching” live from Antoinette. 1:1 coaching and consulting is incredibly valuable, although it can also be costly. Not all business owners, creatives and service providers are ready for that commitment. The Studio is a great opportunity to receive expert guidance on your individual projects at a great value. There is also the option to add two 1:1 sessions with Antoinette if you want to optimize individual coaching.

Group classes and sharing my work intimidates me. Should I join anyway?

Yes, absolutely! Creative work and dream projects are often done in a silo. They also often gather dust and don’t come to fruition, as it’s a goal only you know about. Imagine how your position would change if you had an instructor and small group of others, cheering you on to make progress. The Studio will also be safe haven to ensure you aren’t blindly embarking on a project. We’ll help you gain clarity on how you’ll tackle your project and develop strategy tactics for how you’ll monetize your idea. You will find a supportive and non-judgmental community within The Studio, as well as an instructor who fully understands the vulnerability of putting yourself and your work out there. If you are feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness – that’s good.  Those feelings are expected and a sign that you’re ready. 

I think I need more specific coaching regarding my project or business – is there an individual coaching option? 

There is an option to add two 1:1 sessions to The Studio program as a way to dive deeper into a concept or specific element of your project. These sessions can be helpful if you’re feeling confused or overwhelmed by your business on a broader level. I also work with women 1:1 in consulting retainers as I have availability.
