Micro Coaching offers a fresh approach to guiding our clients through the challenges of today’s music landscape. With 100,000 new tracks landing on Spotify daily, standing out can feel insurmountable. Micro coaching keeps things simple, with frequent, targeted guidance that meets our artists where they are—eliminating the endless to-do lists. It offers just what they need when they need it.
Micro-coaching is the practice of engaging in frequent, brief, targeted, in-workflow coaching conversations. We’re talking about bite-sized, short-burst encounters that typically last no more than 10 minutes. They are consistent, but not scheduled, scripted, or forced. Instead, they are informal, often impromptu, conversations that focus on the real-time needs of the individual, acknowledging the perishable nature of human engagement and the need for continuous connection.

Chasing huge numbers on Spotify, YouTube, and TikTok has become the norm, but it’s not sustainable or impactful for every artist, and just because “they” say it’s the only way – we know that it’s NOT. Focusing on “going viral” or achieving millions of streams is not the model that every artist wants or needs. This approach can drain your energy, often yielding superficial results.
