The MPA (Music Publishers Association) and shesaid.so announced in February 2023 their collaborative coaching/mentorship scheme “Coaching for Progress.” The program is targeted towards mid/senior level established music publishing executives on the verge of moving into senior leadership roles.
Coaching for Progress aims to elevate our mentees through coaching and, as a result, diversify boardrooms.
The programme is designed to promote women into senior management positions because of historical discrimination that has led to male-dominated C-suites.
5 successful applicants commenced with the 4-month programme from March 2023 until July 2023. The 5 successful applicants were paired with carefully chosen and well-suited mentors to coach them through the 4-month programme. Both mentee and coach were provided with training and given handbooks to guide the relationship in order to get the most out of it.
