Creativity Coaching: How to Help and Support
One of the essential roles of a Creativity Coach is to offer support and accountability and it's support that a client needs most from a coach. Support feels most like compassion and kindness. Its hard for people to be kind and compassionate to themselves. They tend to beat themselves up and say tough words to themselves, especially if they have been failing in life for a while.
Clients normally have no one to talk to about there work or the fact that their dreams are fading or their goals are not being realised. They often have no one to talk to about their struggle or the gap between their dreams and reality. Many clients are looking for someone to say, "You have it in you and I will help."
Support can include many things including psychological existential and practical help. It should also be a state of mind and attitude on the part of the Creativity Coach. It could include offering practical help about the market place, help with anxiety or self talk and it could include wider existential issues.
Suggesting that a client starts a new routine, like writing as soon as they get up instead of getting bogged down in the emails is one way a Creativity Coach can offer practical help.
Getting a client to embrace their anxiety is another way a Creativity Coach can be very supportive. Creative anxiety is not often talked about and it's something that even the most experienced creative might not be aware of.
Finally other ways of offering support could be by getting your client to reflect and think more deeply. Getting to them to forgive themselves and Telling them that it is not too late or that they have got it in them
