One-to-one mentoring
A bit of time to think, with someone who has done the job.
Production can be a lonely job, especially when you're the person everyone else brings their problems to. Mentoring gives you an hour with someone who understands that, to work through whatever is in front of you.
Start with a free 30-minute call with Ali Durrant.
A practical rhythm
Talk it through, try it at work, then come back and talk about what happened.
The useful part of mentoring often happens between sessions, when you try something and see what it does. So we set goals together and follow up on them.
Time to work things through
60-minute calls on Zoom or Teams.
Support between sessions
Short questions between sessions by email or Discord, or on your own team's channel if that's easier. Liam usually replies within six hours on a working day.
Goals you can come back to
A personal plan we set together and review as you go.
Before you pay anything, we'll talk about who should mentor you, what you want from it, how often you'd like to meet and the fee.
Who you'd be talking to
Two mentors with different strengths.
Tell us what you need help with and we'll suggest whether Liam or Ali is the better fit. We confirm availability before you commit to anything.

On working with Liam
Support for the person behind the role.
An excerpt from Purva’s published account of working with Liam. Attribution reflects the role shown in that testimonial.
Purva Garg
“He is a mentor, a champion for game production and game producers who often just have to hit the ground running without support or guidance in an ever changing tech and creativity driven games industry.”
