Creative work can feel like a chore even for those who seem to excel at it, writer’s block is real. If you have a creative project in mind or are looking to jumpstart a creative endeavor that has stalled or grown stagnant then this is for you! Whether it’s a podcast, writing a book or taking the leap of turning that burning idea into a business, this coaching process is designed to bring those to fruition. It follows the mantra to a point “mood follows action” in the sense that more often than not you don’t feel the creative juices flowing or that spark until you take the first steps in action.
We will explore together the potential blockers to your creativity using a tool developed at Politecnico di Milano (Polytechnic University of Milan) proposing pointed suggestions, obtained from the analysis of classic tarots, that are a rich collection of archetypes. It has no divination purpose: each card is related to a thinking model that belongs to our culture, a powerful incentive that can put in motion creative and inspirational processes. We will pair your personal reflections with “shipping the work” utilizing Seth Godin’s book The Practice: Shipping Creative Work to do exactly that and develop a creative action plan for your endeavor!

What will it look like working together?
What you can expect from me is to approach your goals and plans for growth with the same intensity as I bring to my own life. I will bring a deep level of empathy, understanding, accountability and professionalism. Personal Growth is a perpetual personal journey and as we work together I will continue to also learn and grow to better collaborate and show up as your coach and partner in this endeavor.
This will be our initial kick-off meeting to share an hour to sit down and have a conversation with the ultimate goal of determine if it’s a good fit to work together. We will also discuss your long-term and short-term goals as well as familiarity with the methodologies or any questions you might have.
These will be regularly scheduled sessions to explore and build action plans for the goals and growth you wish to achieve. They will be a mix of exploration, mental exercises, accountability check-ins and adapting the action plans created.
Part of the purpose of these sessions is also to have a safe space to take risks with creative plans and move through reflection that is an integral part of personal growth. Based on frequency and each individuals goals they could also include homework or readings to prepare for the following session.
Personal Growth can often feel like a lonely road, especially due to the nature if it often taking time and grit. These impromptu check-ins can be to celebrate a big win or leap, but also hold space to celebrate and be grateful for learnings. Losses or failures happen in life and it’s not effective to try and gloss them over with positivity, but we can work together to recognize the takeaways that might lead us forward with greater gratitude and resilience.
