Creativity Coaching and The Art of Supporting
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.
A Creativity Coach is someone you can talk to about your work. You can speak with one about the problems of your fading dreams, about the gap between your dreams and reality. A creativity coach is there to say, "I think you can do it and I'm here to help you" A creativity coach can also offer more practical help and unlike a psychiatrist can get more involved in your (creative) life. Often Creativity Coaches have an area of expertise and may help with certain aspects of the creative profession that you are involved in.
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.
One way a coach may offer practical support to Creative is by speaking with them about starting a new routine. For example writing in the morning before the emails are looked at.
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.
Support can take many other forms like asking them to think and reflect on a much deeper level. Asking a client to forgive himself Making sure they know they can do it and that it's not too late to achieve there dreams.
