What is creativity coaching and how will it help me? {FAQ}
All of your questions about the Magic Action for Multi-passionate Creatives Cohort are being answered this week.
TODAY'S TOPIC: What is creativity coaching and how will it help me?
Q: Is creativity coaching a type of life coaching?
A: Yes. Like life coaching, creativity coaching provides guidance, accountability and a non-judgemental professional perspective combined with teachable methods to help you create the changes and results you desire.
As a creativity coach I also use a variety of creative tools and techniques to help you create a clear vision for your personal and/or professional creative dreams and then actually make them happen.
Q: Is coaching basically cheerleading?
A: No. Although as your coach I’ll help you acknowledge and celebrate each step you take, that’s only one piece of the process but a vital one for several reasons.
The emphasis is on helping you celebrate yourself rather than looking for outside validation from me or anyone else.
This empowers you to move forward on your creative path regardless of what others say or do.
Worrying about what other people think about our choices is often what holds us back ~ so this is important work.
When you spend more time and energy looking for what’s working than what’s not it impacts your emotions, your actions and therefore your results in powerful and positive ways.
This takes practice. Training your brain to shift from default to intentional thoughts is challenging on your own ~ and honestly, not something most people know how to do or understand the importance of until they’ve experienced the powerful shifts they can create once they do.
Q: Is coaching the same as therapy?
A: No. While coaching, like some therapy, provides a dedicated time and space and framework for personal development, they’re two very different things.
Therapy tends to help you process your past and deal with present situations and, of course, therapists have training and education specific to their work.
Coaching provides a way to take stock of what’s happening in your life currently and then to make changes and take steps forward to create the future you desire.
Q: What’s it like to be coached?
A: Awesome. You’ll have the opportunity to ask for coaching via your weekly check-in, during our weekly call and on the page of our cohort’s private Facebook group. This is where you’ll bring struggles (and wins!) to be coached on.
As your coach I’ll provide impartial feedback and guidance to help you move past your challenges and replicate your successes more easily and consistently.
I’ll help you shine a light on the thoughts and habits that are holding you back and teach you easy to use methods to shift to thoughts and habits that will serve you and help you create the creative life you crave.
You’ll also learn and practice a variety of tools and techniques that will help you move past the blocks of perfectionism, procrastination, inner critic, overwhelm and create and hold healthy boundaries.
Q: Is group coaching different than 1-1 coaching?
A: Yes and No. During the cohort coaching calls one person at a time receives coaching.
The bonus of group coaching is that it gives you the opportunity to learn from the coaching your peers receive as well. A rising tide lifts all boats.
When you come to the cohort committed to get what you came for ~ both from your own personalized coaching and the coaching other members receive, you’ll experience the greatest growth, success and joy possible.
You’ll also experience the camaraderie and support of being in a room with others who are also on their journey to turn their creative vision into their new reality.
(Reminder: As a part of this Magic Action Cohort, you’ll also receive one 1-1 session.)
