Creativity Coaching

Creativity Coaching is helping you foster your creative ideas in a way that brings more meaning to your life.

What do I need to know when considering Creativity Coaching?

You are naturally creative and resourceful, not someone with problems who needs an expert.  The creative answers lie within you.  I work with you in a holistic way, taking into account your needs as a whole person (e.g., health, financial, responsibilities).  With assistance from me as your coach, you decide what you want to work on and what you want to achieve – your desires and goals - rather than having my perspective imposed on you.

Who is Creativity Coaching for?

• Writers – overcoming writers block, dealing differently with anxiety.
• Visual artists – balancing art and other parts of your life.
• Performers – who want to connect more with their dance, their role or audience, or deal with stage anxiety.
• Businesses – who want their employees to develop their creativity.
• Anyone – who has lost his or her creative self and art form along the path of leading a busy adult life.

What can Creativity Coaching help you with?

• Envisioning and focusing on your dreams … where you want to go and what you want to do.
• Committing to a goal oriented process to achieve your desires.
• Difficulty in disciplining yourself to your work.
• Doing the work directly before you … learning to focus.
• Balancing your creative endeavors with the rest of your life.
• Presenting yourself and your work to the world … Marketing.
• Believing in yourself and in your work.
• Inability to finish your writing or to bring brush to the canvas.
• Finding a balance between working alone and in the community.
• Dealing effectively with blue moods that interfere with creativity.
  

How does Creativity Coaching work?

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice.
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.” answered the cat.
-- from Alice in Wonderland

Creativity Coaching is done face-to-face, by telephone coaching sessions, by e-mail correspondence, or by a combination of these.  After completing a whole life assessment, called “Creative Possibilities”, in the first coaching session, goals are identified, then addressed in subsequent coaching sessions.  You will then complete each step of a process that we develop together.  I will be there to guide, support, and encourage you, and together we will celebrate your successes as you continue to move forward toward achieving your goals.

In each Creativity Coaching session I will ask questions to focus you, give you suggestions, and direct you to complete agreed upon tasks between coaching sessions.  Because each Creativity Coaching program is designed for you, I vary the coaching methods to meet your specific needs.  I am certified in the expressive healing arts so I use different forms of writing - including journaling, poem writing, and art - in my coaching.

You will gain powerful esteem, inner strength and wisdom when you decide to do those things you are afraid of accomplishing. … especially when you control your fear and stick with your planned action.  Creativity Coaching can help you with this process.
