Leadership Portfolio Projects - Recap

While my projects were mentioned throughout the prior posts, I decided to recap all of the ongoing and "one-off" activities/projects I have been doing for Family Moons and their artists:

Artist Management:

• Ongoing renewal of review and renewal of contracts - introducing artists to Intellectual Property and management practices.
• Ongoing brand building and maintenance - Interviewing and formulation of artists' brand identities and revenue streams.
• Ongoing Promotions and performance booking - Promoting artists' and securing performance bookings.

Event Management:

• Technical Coordination, Scenic Building, Promotions - 2010 Winter DJ Olympics - Benefiting the American Cancer Society
• Technical Coordination, Promotions, Performance - Family Moons 12 Year Anniversary
• Charity event sponsorships - Arranging donation of time and labor to charitable causes.

UPCOMING:

• October 2010 - TBA - Event in Phoenix, AZ (Non-charity event)
• January 2011 - 2011 Winter DJ Olympics - Benefiting Arts Adventures (Respite for children with Autism)
• June 2011 - 2011 Summer DJ Olympics - Benefiting Watermelon Ranch (No-kill animal shelter)

This is a set of skills and traits that I have determined are necessary for efficient management:

Organization - must have a certain level of organization. But most importantly OTHER people need to understand your method of organization.

Problem Solving - If it can go wrong, it will. Be prepared to deal with anything and everything.

Honesty - Don't try and manipulate your way through business. It will come back to haunt you.

Love - If you don't love what your doing then you shouldn't be doing it.

Commitment - Stick it through, but always know when to take a break.
