At cocktail parties my standard reply is: \u2018I work with scattered creatives by helping them focus so that they can grab the focus of others.\u2019 Focusing and following through on things will allow you to make great work and sell it so that you make more money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together we design solutions to your problems, plans for your success and anticipate possible obstacles so that you\u2019re fully prepared to do what you say you will before the next session. It involves an investment on my part in terms of time, accredited training and the willingness to hold onto what you want in your life so that when you get lost in the weeds, I can help you get back on track.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How long have you been doing this and how did you become an expert at coaching creative professionals?” open_toggle_text_color=”#ffffff” open_toggle_background_color=”#008080″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#008080″ icon_color=”#ffffff” open_icon_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.23″ title_text_color=”#ffffff” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”||||||||” body_font=”||||||||” body_text_color=”#ffffff” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

While I\u2019ve certainly worked with \u2018normal\u2019 people in a variety of creative and \u2018non-creative\u2019 fields, what makes my clients special is that most of them are determined to succeed professionally despite some sort of condition such as ADHD, a learning disability, identifying as being \u2018on the spectrum\u2019 (you know who you are, you geniuses!) depression, auto-immune disease, chronic pain or other physical challenges. As a coach, I excel at helping my clients recognize their mental, physical or emotional condition as a reason for needing to go about things differently, not as an excuse for not getting things done.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What type of people do you work with best?” open_toggle_text_color=”#ffffff” open_toggle_background_color=”#008080″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#008080″ icon_color=”#ffffff” open_icon_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”#ffffff” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”||||||||” body_font=”||||||||” body_text_color=”#ffffff” global_colors_info=”{}”]Most of my clients have had their hearts broken by life in one way or another, but they are not \u201cvictims\u201d. That\u2019s why they are willing to invest in themselves to succeed, and succeed they do! In other words, if you are able to accept that no matter what has happened in the past, you alone are responsible for your own happiness, we can work together.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What kind of success are you talking about?” open_toggle_text_color=”#ffffff” open_toggle_background_color=”#008080″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#008080″ icon_color=”#ffffff” open_icon_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”#ffffff” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”||||||||” body_font=”||||||||” body_text_color=”#ffffff” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
