Training & mentoring

 

We don’t just do the work for you, we build confidence and capability in your team. Green Room SM offers practical, sector-specific training and mentoring delivered by people who have held these roles inside arts, cultural, and charitable organisations. No generic slide decks, no career trainers who’ve never run a production budget or sat in front of a board. Just grounded, real-world knowledge passed on in plain language, tailored to where your team actually is.


Every programme begins with a short consultation so we can shape the content around your organisation, your systems, and your goals, whether that’s upskilling a new finance lead, preparing trustees for their responsibilities, or helping a whole team get more from the tools they already have.

How we deliver it

  

One-to-One Mentoring

Ongoing, confidential support for an individual — a new finance lead, an executive director, or a freelancer building their practice. Regular sessions paced around real work and real challenges as they arise.


Group Workshops & Courses

Focused sessions on a single topic, delivered to your team or to a wider group. Practical, interactive, and built around your sector rather than generic theory.


Bespoke In-House Training

A tailored programme designed around your organisation — your systems, your structure, your goals. Ideal for embedding new processes or bringing a whole team up to speed together.


Ongoing Mentoring Retainers

Knowledge on tap. A regular, flexible arrangement for organisations that want a trusted expert to call on as questions come up, rather than a one-off course.
