Creative coaching is a collaborative process designed to help designers unlock their full potential, overcome obstacles, and achieve their professional and personal goals. As your coach, I provide guidance, support, and strategies to enhance your creativity, improve your design skills, and navigate the challenges of a creative career.
Unlike courses or workshops that focus primarily on teaching specific skills, coaching is personalized to your individual needs and goals. We work together to address your unique challenges, develop your strengths, and create strategies for long-term success. Coaching also emphasizes mindset and personal growth alongside skill development.
Not at all! I work with designers at all stages of their careers, from beginners to seasoned professionals. Whether you're just starting out and need guidance, or you're an experienced designer looking to overcome a plateau or transition to a new phase in your career, coaching can be beneficial.
Our first session is all about getting to know you and your goals. We'll discuss your current situation, the challenges you're facing, and what you hope to achieve through coaching. I'll explain my coaching approach and how we can work together to reach your goals. It's also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about the coaching process.
The duration of coaching varies depending on your goals and needs. Some clients achieve their desired results in just a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing support over several months. We'll discuss the best approach for you during our initial consultation.
Typically, we meet every 1-2 weeks, depending on your needs and preferences. This frequency allows time for you to implement strategies and reflect between sessions. However, we can adjust the schedule to best suit your goals and lifestyle.
My approach combines my 22.5 years of experience as a graphic designer with certified coaching techniques, NLP practices, and Human Design insights. This holistic method addresses not just your design skills, but also your mindset, creative process, business acumen, and overall wellbeing as a creative professional.
While I have expertise in these areas and find them valuable, their inclusion in our coaching is entirely up to you. I tailor my approach to what resonates with each client. We can focus purely on practical design and career strategies if that's your preference.
While I can offer general guidance and strategies for improving your design skills, my coaching focuses more on your overall creative process, mindset, and career development rather than teaching specific software or techniques. For detailed software training, I might recommend additional resources to complement our coaching.
All coaching sessions are currently conducted online via Zoom. This allows for flexibility and enables me to work with designers from around the world.
