In this session of Taking Charge of Your Performance Career, senior arts manager Eibhlín Gleeson draws on her experience as CEO of Cork Opera House and a former fellow of the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts, to help musicians broaden their networking skills.
Eibhlín says ‘Let’s face it, networking is hard! It really pushes us out of our comfort zone’. This session explores our networking goals and how we might meet them. Eibhlín looks at some traditional networking techniques and ways to make networking seem less intimidating and more accessible, exploring the fundamentals of where we network, how we present ourselves and how we share our stories.
This session took place on 12th December 2022, and was one of a three-part professional development course for musicians.
