Are you looking to move your creative journey to the next level? A creativity coach may be just the thing to support you through the blocks and get you motivated to get back on track with your goals and dreams.
What is a creativity coach? Here is the best description I have seen to describe this unique coaching experience:
“By creativity coaching I mean the activity of one person helping another person with every aspect of that person’s creative life, including the psychological, emotional, existential, and practical problems that arise as a client tries to create. Virtually nothing is out-of-bounds as a creativity coach endeavors to help his client write, paint, perform, invent, or compose, find and make meaning, maintain mental health, enjoy a measure of happiness, and lead a good life that centers around creating.” -Eric Maisel
