What kind of work do you to help clients find their most creative selves?
I help clients to find their most creative selves through active listening and engaging activities that guide them to a vision of their current strengths, show them how to deepen and expand those skills, and help provide strategies for further growth. The activities themselves are custom-tailored to your writing goals, based on my decade’s experience studying the creative and learning process.
one-on-ones
Active listening is an important part of the work we do together. I will ask you questions about yourself, your project, your goals. Your responses help to inform how we can best work together.
What are the steps in the process? What does working with you look like?
I will help you to determine your visions and goals–either for a specific project or to help you move into a more creative space. We’ll talk about what you do well already as we work through some creativity-enhancing activities and Individualized Inspiration Sessions.™
As you work through the goals you’ve set, I will offer regular feedback, focusing on your strengths and progress, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions and reshape your goals.
How is one-on-one creativity coaching different from attending an Inspiration Session?
Inspiration Sessions take place in a group setting. This is an intentional arrangement to optimize what Keith Sawyer calls Group Genius, or the notion
that efficient collaboration on an idea causes that idea to improve or evolve. Group work is one way to help draw out your creativity, and get you out of writer’s’ block.
Coaching is a one to one relationship where, like in an Inspiration Session, I help you to see the strengths you already have and to find ways to develop those more deeply. However, in the one to one session, you have my full undivided attention. We focus on you, your goals, and the tools to draw out your most creative self.
