Ask An Artist - Planning Meeting
Ask An Artist podcast is back for 2024 and we will be releasing new episodes every fortnight, throughout the year.
In this episode Peter and Tom have a planning meeting for the forthcoming year. Rather than simply share their advice, in this episode, they let you "behind the curtain", to eavesdrop on their own planning meeting for the year.
Starting by looking back and reviewing positives and negatives from the last 12 months, Peter and Tom use this reflection to plan what needs to stay, go and be changed, as they move into the coming year.
They set themselves goals and targets and share some advice for keeping yourself accountable.
