Wild Creatives Coaching

 

Over the last 6 months or so I've been learning how to coach.

Not coaching a sport as my mum thought, but business coaching for work.  The sort of coaching where you help someone find a new job or grow their confidence.

 

I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it or if I'd be any good, but I loved it!  So I've carried on from my first certificate to a diploma which is more focused on coaching for creatives.  Basically helping creatives who might be struggling to find their voice or with creative block, or maybe they don't know how to start their project or end it!  I adore helping people.

I've enjoyed this so much, although I've still got much to learn, that Wild Creatives Coaching has been born, with the aim to make a business of it.

So while I continue my diploma, I have created a Substack for my thoughts on creativity to help people, and spread the word a bit.

 

A friend helped with the beautiful logo and branding, but I knew that the Substack posts would need images of some kind.  While I could have used one of those free photo platforms or even AI, I decided to shoot my own.

So I went through the house and collected up all (OK, a lot of) my creative tools and materials and did a photo shoot one afternoon.  I had a so much fun setting up each selection and finding the right shot. 

 

Then of course came the editing of each photo to make it fit the header slot.  A few sets didn't make it as I'd taken them too tight or something was wrong which I didn't spot at the time.  So I'll be going back to retake some, which is fine as I've had ideas of things I'd missed.

But what I'm really pleased with is a set of photos that are relevant, very much in my personal style and are ready to use whenever I need them, without having to search for an image each time.  And a very satisfying use of my own creativity.

 

These are just a few of my favourites.

And if you are interested in any coaching, let me know.
