Creativity Coaching

1:1 guidance for your creative life

Lately, have you said (or thought) any of the following phrases: “I have too many ideas“, “I’m stuck” or even “if only I could find the time to work on [INSERT CREATIVE IDEA HERE]“? Or maybe you’ve felt that creative urge come back after years in hibernation and you feel like you’re starting from scratch? No matter where you’re at on your creative journey, creativity coaching can help you remove the fears, the blocks, the distractions preventing you from turning your ideas into Art (whatever that looks like to you).

THERE'S STILL TIME TO
reclaim your creativity

Let me guess: you were the ‘creative kid’ at school. Always drawing, writing, performing or making a mess in the art room.

Then after school, when you joined the “real world”, you put down the metaphorical paintbrush in favour of a steady job, believing that you’d still “have time” to be creative.

But it rarely happened, even though you’re likely in the business of creativity (hello art teachers, designers, copywriters and creative entrepreneurs).

Now you’re older, that creative urge can’t be ignored, pulling at your heartstrings so violently that it’s hard to focus on anything else.

So much so, you find yourself stealing time to work on passion projects, or even roping your loved ones in to go to art classes on the weekend (she’s giving *pottery wheel* vibes).

You know something is brewing – and you’re f’ing excited – but you don’t know what it is yet. Or really how to make the space for it to bloom.

As an artist and writer myself, I GET IT. I’ve been there more times than I care to admit – but I’ve come to learn that all of this is part of the journey. It’s what you sign up for when you choose to live creatively.

And it’s not all doom and gloom either. When an idea finally crystalises in your mind after weeks (months, or years), you feel invincible. Untouchable. It’s pure BLISS!

However, when shit doesn’t go according to plan – or the voices in your head scream ‘MUTANY’ – what (or who) can you turn to for support?

Creativity coaching offers you accountability, an extra brain (and set of eyes) and dedicated space to work through challenges to you creative pursuits.

It’s not like life coaching where the focus is on who you want to become. But rather, it’s laser focused on what you want to make.

I’ve trained with Dr Eric Maisel – the OG creativity coach – and finished a PhD project in 2017, so you better believe I’m in this for the long haul.

You deserve to find flow effortlessly, create work that changes the world and still have energy left at the end of the day JUST FOR YOU.

Client Love

I absolutely loved both of my sessions with Marion. She is able to draw out of you what you may instinctively know in your gut but can’t quite articulate, whether that is direction, subject or process. Marion understands the challenges of creative life and can help you decide on the next best step forward however small. She creates an accepting and safe space to openly talk about creative blocks or challenges. I leave feeling light, inspired and confident as well as armed with the practical tools to move forward in my creative process or project. Whilst hard to articulate just how valuable it is to engage in creative coaching, I highly recommend it to anyone who just feels stuck, is lacking confidence in their work or is wanting to explore new avenues.

Marion supported me through a transitional phase of my small business. She encouraged and empowered me to make choices within my creative sphere that were based on my values and vision. I’d highly recommend her as a creative coach.

1:1 creativity coaching

AN HOUR WITH DR MAZ could SAVE YOU DAYS...

So, you’ve got the urge to create. Something’s been brewing with in you and you’re aching to dive in, but you’re not sure where to start. Or, maybe your day job deals in creativity (hello designer, copywriter, startup friends) and burnout has robbed you of your own creative practice.

I offer 60-minute sessions via Zoom and here’s how it works:

Life audit: We start by taking an inventory of anything you do that affects your ability to be creative. In order to kickstart your creative practice, we need to know what space and time we have to work with first.
5 step process: I take you through my specific 5 step process designed to help you find clarity, get energy and build that sustainable creative practice you’ve been craving.
Resources and support: In session, I’ll share bucketloads of resources that relate to what you’re going through and offer tailored, practical advice to your specific situation.
Workbook: After our session, I’ll send you a plan and actionable workbook to complete (filled with takeaways from our session) so you can hit the ground running. I’ll also follow up with you a few days later to keep you accountable.

I know there are a billion and one reasons to not nurture your creative life. Don’t let your own fear be one of them, especially when I’m here, ready to help you build momentum towards a life you don’t need to escape from.

FAQ

WHAT IS CREATIVITY COACHING?

Glad you asked! A creativity coach helps you reconnect with your passions. They provide tools, techniques and methods to unlock your creative potential and blast through any blocks.

HOW DOES CREATIVITY COACHING WORK?

It’s similar to other kinds of coaching when it comes to process. I’ll first assess where you’re at using questionnaires and conversation. Then, we’ll talk about your challenges, history and goals. I’ll give you activities, techniques and tools to use to push you closer to your goals. Plus, I’ll be on the lookout for any blindspots you might have when it comes to creativity. The bonus of doing this within a group, is that you also get to benefit from hearing about other people’s struggles and triumphs!

I WORK FULL-TIME, IS THIS GOING TO BE TOO FULL ON?

No way! The thing about coaching is that you only get out of it what you’re willing to put in. For a 1hr session you might like to jot down your thoughts around what you’re stuck on, then the rest of the magic happens when your brain and mine collide!

I AM TERRIFIED, BUT CURIOUS.

That’s a really good sign! If you’ve made it this far, your creative spirit is trying to break free. It’s time to ignore that negative voice in your head and listen to your gut. How do you want to spend your life? Expressing yourself often and with joy? Or trapped where you are. It’s your call my friend.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE MORE?

Of course we can! Fill out the form on my website and let’s hash this out.

CREATIVITY IS AT THE CORE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE human

And you’ll truly feel it when you work with me.

It’s not something you have to ‘do’ – it’s who you already are. Developing your creativity boosts your problem-solving skills, enhances your ability to express yourself (and communicate better), and – drum roll please – is how you give yourself certainty in uncertain times. The best part is you don’t have to go it alone. I’ll be there, walking alongside you, giving you practical ways to get shit done. I’m not talking about productivity either… I’m talking about pure, unadulterated, blissful FLOW. It’s all possible for you, but you have to want it more than you want the drama of not doing it. So, dear one, are you ready?
