CREATIVE COACHING

Creative thinking transforms lives, which, in turn, transforms the world. With over 25 years of experience as a working artist across several countries and cultures, I have a unique perspective on how to not only get by in the world, but, importantly, how to greet each day with enthusiasm for its potential. If you don’t feel that way, I am confident I can help you! No matter your background, whether you’re an artist, a gig worker, an administrator or a CEO, my coaching can help you:

  • Identify and explore inner mental blocks that are hindering your creative efforts

  • Develop systems and routines that help fuel your creativity

  • Find and maintain a mindset that supports your creativity

  • Build confidence in your creative abilities

  • Feel empowered to create what you want to create, and to live the life you want to live

  • Create positive change in all areas of your life

ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP

Do you feel stuck as an artist? Do you feel that there’s something larger out there that you simply don’t have access to? Are you determined to make the first step towards meaningful change? We should talk. I’ve created a sustainable career as an artist for over 20 years. I don’t punch a clock and have the freedom to initiate and collaborate on projects that align with my aesthetics and values. I teach the Creative Catalyst Certificate program at UNCSA, and every week have the joy of connecting with dozens of artists around the country who are looking to bust out of the pack by learning about leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship. I have also thrived as a solo artist in NYC, Europe, and OKC, and that deep range of experience is further codified by experience in traditional leadership and entrepreneurship. It’s an honor to work with artists to develop their potential, and if you think you can’t afford it, think again. I’m determined to empower artists in my community - let me help YOU! Drop me a line, and let’s start the conversation!

UNBLOCKING CREATIVITY

Creativity is the source for joy, fascination, purpose and meaning. No matter your background, you likely have been challenged with feeling stuck, meh, bored, uninspired, etc., etc., etc. I’m here to help you understand what’s blocking you, with tried-and-true methods for breaking away from the mire. There is a bright future within your grasp - take the first step, and reach out!

CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING

How long have you ruminated over a particular issue in your life or business? You’re not alone - everyone benefits from fresh thinking! You can hire me by the hour to lend my particular brand of divergent, creative thinking to your particular problem. You will come away from the session with new perspective, which leads to those “AH HA!” moments that transform a problem into a solution that feels energetic, innovative and more closely aligned with your mission and values. It’s super easy - drop me a line!
