About Coaching

WHAT  I  KNOW  FOR  SURE  ABOUT  CREATIVE  CHICAS:
As an engaged, baby-loving, and creative entrepreneurial gal myself — I know the yellow brick road to The Emerald City has its fair share of witches and flying monkeys. The fairytale is not always the reality. But here’s the good news: your dream is closer than your think.

Maybe you’re a fellow female Photographer, Boutique Shop Owner, Jewelry Designer, Fashion Designer, Graphic Artist, Singer Songwriter, Actress, Director, or other creative chica chasing your dream day in and day out but seeing slow to no results because marketing, website, social media, branding, pricing, and cross promotional events all feels overwhelming. Or maybe you’ve been working for others and feel desperate to “go out on your own” only you don’t know how to make that transition and launching your own thing sounds so overwhelming. Or maybe you’ve had some initial success, gotten signed with impressive agents and managers, had your first record deal — but still things haven’t clicked. You still feel like you’re waiting on your representation or a casting director for your next big break and you just wish you could take things into your own hands. Negotiate better. Market better. Book more. If this sounds familiar, first up, I’ve been there and my whole heart goes out to you. Don’t worry, there’s “always room at the top” and we can help to get you there.

Maybe you don’t know a thing about marketing or branding yourself to stand out in-person or online. Maybe the idea of promotion makes you run for the hills and business is just “not your thing.” Or, maybe you’ve got loads of opportunities but you’re still chasing your tail to get it all done, have a life, and earn what you deserve. Or maybe you’re someone who’s invested in several “How To’s” or “Personal Development” programs — only you’ve never known how to implement all that you’ve learned and so it’s ultimately been for not. If you’re crazy good but no one knows you exist … that’s a problem. If you’re sought after but no one appreciates how overworked and underpaid you are  … that’s a problem too. And if you’ve spent money on information but never implemented, then that’s a problem. The good news? We can work together to beat any of these challenges and help you to accomplish anything and everything.

If you’re spending more time than not feeling stressed, doubtful, nervous, overwhelmed, resentful, obsessive, distracted, broke, paralyzed or just not “your best self,” then you’re likely not planning/launching/developing/creating in a way that feels relaxed and joyful. Nor are you likely to have as much fun as you deserve.

It’s time to stop waiting and to start shifting. Life is too short to stay stuck, chicas.
The world needs your creative talents.
And you need to feel fulfilled.

WHY? So you can go out and give back to those women less fortunate. Period.

For a limited time I’m offering private creative coaching + consulting for women artists and small business owners who are struggling in their life and career. Reach out via the “CONTACT ME” tab and let’s flush out where you’re feeling blessed, where you’re feeling stuck, and how we can move you from where you are to where you want to be {both professionally and personally}.

Everyone needs, and deserves, a partner in crime. No one can go it alone, and creative chicas are no different. Women who have big dreams need big strategies and big support systems to execute their visions. I’m no different, which is why I’ve been blessed to hire my own coach and consultants over the years. Without a doubt, that investment has made all the difference!

If you’re looking to live a big life, to grow a meaningful creative career, then I want to meet you. Why? Because creative entrepreneurial women are my favorite people on the planet. We’re the ones with the power to change the world, with the imagination to see and do and be better. If you’re ready to finally live a life you truly love, then send a note via “CONTACT ME” tab and let’s connect. We can talk about private and group coaching or consulting plus upcoming workshops and events. Doesn’t matter where you live, PJ dates with coffee over Skype are my clients’ favs!

LAUNCH  YOUR  LIFE  OR  YOUR   CREATIVE  CAREER:
We only get one life with one legacy. What will yours be? Truth is, that’s a big question for all of us.

Without a plan of action, we creatives can all lose traction. If we’re not careful, years can pass and our dreams are still dreams. The problems we had five years ago, can be the problems still plaguing us today — if we’re not conscious or focused on action.

For some of us, the fairytale visions we held for our lives and careers are not always the realities unfolding. Why? Because real life happens. Money causes stress. Fear trumps Faith. Marketing feels scary. Without an advocate hearing our truth, guiding our best interest, and holding us accountable along the way — it’s easy to slip into overwhelm and exhaustion, hurt and resentment, even paralysis and regret. You deserve more and you can have it. You’ve just got to begin by reaching out, claiming your truth, and being heard.

SOUND  LIKE  YOU?  SEND  A  ”CONTACT ME”  NOTE:
Don’t be shy. You’re not alone. As women, especially creative women, we all go through the ringer sometimes. Life has its cycles, its chapters. So, let’s move you through this one and get you set up for success in the next one. Send in a confidential note about where you’re at and where you must be.

This sounds like exactly what I need. I’ve been going in circles and not feeling focused and I have 1000 different ideas but I can’t implement because I don’t know where to start. It’s like i’m creatively a.d.d. Would working together help me to get organized or do I need to be pretty organized on my own first? I’m feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I work alone so there’s no accountability and very little structure. Thanks so much and I’ll submit a contact form too.

KarenJuly 9, 2012 - 3:17 pm

Hey Cheryl! Thank you so so much for your comment and your share! I’m sure many creatives can relate to your feelings and your frustrations. We’ve all been there, and usually right before the birth of something magnificent. So hang tight for the break through. She’s on her way! Also, great questions. My approach is like that of a producer. I help you to prioritize, to plan, and to promote your projects so that those “ideas” don’t stay ideas. All that is required to begin is for you to show up and to be willing to move from “what has been” to “what could be.” That’s it. There’s no waiting to get organized, or waiting to be perfect, or waiting to have some exact clear picture goal. We just begin wherever you are. Sometimes that’s deep core belief work, sometimes that’s marketing and workflow support, sometimes that’s visioning and money mapping, and most times it’s all of the above. It’s amazing the powerful shifts that come just from being honest with ourselves and with one another. Having a witness, a guide, and a fear-busting facilitator can really help accelerate the process and get us unstuck. Looking forward to checking out your contact form and connecting! xo

My mother-in-law is making me insane. Does that count? LOL. no but seriously its hard to get what I need which is space, you know. makes planning a chore sometimes

KarenJuly 23, 2012 - 10:59 am

@Tori, HA! I think nearly every gal can relate to this one! All jokes aside, space is often the first thing we creative women need AND it’s also often the last thing we ask for. Setting boundaries feels rude or cold, but it doesn’t have to be. There are tips and even scripts that are great for establishing new dynamics and roles — especially with extended family. Happy to share them with you ; )

Hi Karen! I saw your posting in the B-school forum and I think your work and website is amazing! Actually, I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the postings and all of the assignments and am looking for a private coach to guide me through this transition. Do you offer a consultation by phone so I can tell you exactly what I plan to do in my transition?
Thank you!
Best,
Stacey

KarenMarch 18, 2013 - 10:46 am
