 What is Creative Life Coaching?
Creative Life Coaching is a professional service that is provided through a respectful and collaborative partnership between the client and the coach. Clients also have the option of participating in the rich experience of a creative sharing group that is facilitated by a coach. The overall emphasis of creative coaching is to enable clients to strive for their full creative potential. There are two main goals, the first is to help clients acknowledge, respect and give expression to their creative part with-in, and the second is to facilitate the creative process by providing focus, suggestions and guidance.
Although the creative coaching process may spark some feelings and lead to new self awareness, the focus is on setting goals and taking action to achieve them. During the creative coaching experience clients will learn to visualize and define their creative goals, move through their creative blocks, and design their own step by step plan towards accomplishing their creative dreams.
You might ask yourself the following questions to determine if Creative Life Coaching is for you.
Do you want to...
... rekindle a creative dream that you have abandoned- perhaps singing or writing? ... make progress with a talent you already possess such as playing a musical instrument or art work? ... try your hand at something creative you have never attempted before, but have always wanted to do- maybe dancing or crafts? ... do you want to enjoy more balance in your life while utilizing the accompaniment of someone who will hold you accountable and celebrate with you as you soar to new heights in the creative process and accomplish your most passionate dreams? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might benefit greatly from the services of a creative life coach. What are the logistics? Creative coaching clients may select from two coaching modes. They may choose individual, private coaching sessions, or they may feel more motivated by a small coaching group experience. The typical individual coaching process consists of three 25-30 minute scheduled phone sessions per month. Then we take a week off! We pay for the phone charges. Because you will be presenting creative products, you may wish to extend your time or schedule an in-person meeting. This is supplemented by e-mail coaching at no extra charge, and 'focused coaching' calls in the interim when we agree that it is necessary. The creative sharing coaching group, typically meets once weekly for three weeks, then we take a week off. The groups consist of no more than six people and sessions last for seventy-five minutes up to an hour and a half. Group members may be asked to attend some outside activities or events such as fellow member’s performances, recitals, art shows, craft fairs, readings or any other form of creative expression. These are attended at the client’s cost. Whether your chose individual or group coaching, you take on as much homework/homeplay as you choose, and most of the learning/growth/action happens in between the calls. How long would we work together? Because expanding your creativity is a process not one creative product or event, some people are done after three months and some choose a longer period of coaching. For individual coaching, we usually start with a three month commitment with a progress review at the end of each month. For group coaching we typically encourage a three month commitment at the end of which, members can choose to continue in group, opt for individual coaching, or they may feel they have gotten what they wanted and discontinue. We invite you to stay with us as long as we are facilitating your creative growth or as long as you love the coaching and are getting more value than the money you’re paying. What does Creative Life Coaching provide?The answer is different for each client. Visualizing and defining your ultimate creative dream is the first goal of creative coaching. The end result often becomes clearer as the process evolves. People often describe the coaching experience as being motivating, challenging, freeing, validating, inspirational, and supportive. I also hear words like, accountability, focus, direction and sounding board. But the bottom line is, we are aiming for specific sustainable results that are determined by you and that bring you more lasting quality and balance in your life. We want you to realize the dreams that are in tune with you are genuinely. We move you forward, hold you accountable and we are committed to your success, well being and self care. What does Creative Life Coaching cost?For individual coaching, the typical investment with a commitment for three months of coaching is $360 per month (which saves $50 over the standard rate). The typical investment with a commitment for six months of coaching is $350 per month (saves $60 over the standard rate). Or you may choose a month-to-month commitment at the standard rate of $410 per month. The typical investment for a three month commitment for group coaching is $230 per month, which saves you $180 over the individual standard rate. You choose the plan that works best for your budget and learning style. Do we offer a free trial session?Absolutely! We don't know if coaching is for you and you don't either.
