Reflections on Writing & Creativity

Coaching

What would happen if you truly unleashed your creative potential?

This is a question on the mind of every writer, artist, and creative. We all want to crush the barriers between us and our dreams. We all want to take action and face our doubt and fears. We all want to create art with confidence and conviction.

But no one can do it alone. That’s why I’m here to help. My goal is to help you unlock your God-given creative potential so you can serve with passion and purpose.

Imagine what would happen if you could …

  • Finish writing your first book
  • Launch your art or author website
  • Create a plan to finish your album
  • Get control of your schedule and make time for your creative work
  • Book your first music or speaking gig
  • Create a clear social media plan for your music, writing, or art
  • Develop the confidence you need

This is where my Kickstart coaching program can help!

My Story

I have been where you are. I understand what it’s like to live in constant frustration that you’re not reaching your creative goals. I know how it feels to watch your life passing you by, wondering if you will ever get back on track.

I remember it clearly. One day in my late 30’s I sat in an office chair, depressed and alone. I had the stark realization that I was a shell of the former artist I’d been. I wondered how I ended up so far from where I was.

Over the next few years, through a lot of trial and error, and with the help of a many people—as well as a lot of hard work and determination—I gained the clarity and confidence I needed to take back control of my life and start pursuing my creative dreams again.

Since then, I started a podcast, wrote two books, and began coaching and editing as a way to serve others. Today I have a renewed sense of purpose and meaning, and I love to help others do the same.

Why Kickstart Coaching?

My Kickstart coaching program is all about helping you get results. A creative coach is an invaluable resource to help you meet your goals so that you can go further, faster. This program focuses on 5 specific areas that will help you unleash your creativity and reach your goals, no matter what area.

First, we focus on CLARITY—helping you get clear on your purpose, your goals, and your audience.

Second, we focus on CONSISTENCY—helping you develop habits and strategies for being more productive and taking control of your schedule.

Third, we focus on CONFIDENCE—helping you build the conviction and courage to overcome the challenges, problems, and obstacles that stand between you and your dreams.

Fourth, we focus on CURIOSITY—helping you explore the resources, tools, and people who can stimulate your creative thinking.

Fifth, we focus on COMMUNITY—helping you leverage the groups and relationships that will take your life and art to the next level.

Everyone’s plan for creative success looks different, but when you look at successful artists, most of them have these 5 elements in common. My goal as a coach is to help you design a personalized process and take action to achieve your goals.

You can get a feel for my teaching style in this session from a self-publishing course I taught for ministry professionals.

Does This Sound Like You?

Coaching is not for everyone. I only work with a select group of coaching clients who are serious about taking their life and art to the next level. In short, they are ready for a Creative Kickstart!

Here is a general description of my ideal coaching client. Does this sound like you?

  • You are ready to take action toward pursuing your creative goals.
  • You know what you want to accomplish but aren’t quite sure how to get there.
  • You are overcommitted, feel too busy, but feel guilty when you think about reducing or eliminating some of your commitments.
  • Faith is an important part of your life, but you sometimes struggle with how to relate it to your art.
  • You feel confused, overwhelmed, or even paralyzed by the conflicting information on websites, books, podcasts, and social media.
  • You feel stuck and aren’t sure what steps to take next.

If you relate to any of these, coaching is definitely right for you!
