INTRODUCTION TO CREATIVITY COACHING TRAINING

The Intro­duc­tion to Cre­ativ­ity Coach­ing Train­ing is a 16-week, email-based train­ing designed to intro­duce you to cre­ativ­ity coach­ing and to pro­vide you with the expe­ri­ence of work­ing with clients.

You can take this train­ing wher­ever you live and no spe­cial com­puter skills are nec­es­sary, only the abil­ity to send and receive emails.

The train­ing is designed to ready you to prac­tice as a cre­ativ­ity coach, although fur­ther train­ing is advised. The train­ing also has a self-coaching com­po­nent for indi­vid­u­als who want to explore their own issues and chal­lenges and learn the prin­ci­ples of cre­ativ­ity coach­ing as they apply to their own cre­ative life.

Many par­tic­i­pants do both, using the train­ing to learn about cre­ativ­ity coach­ing while at the same learn­ing how to make advances in their own cre­ative life.

This train­ing ful­fills a core require­ment of the Cre­ativ­ity Coach­ing Association’s online cer­ti­fi­ca­tion program.

Cost: $475

 

Pre­req­ui­sites: None

 

Course Reader: Provided

Time com­mit­ment: The aver­age time com­mit­ment is 3 – 5 hours a week depend­ing on the num­ber of clients, if any, a par­tic­i­pant chooses to coach.

ADVANCED CREATIVITY COACHING TRAINING: COACHING WRITERS, VISUAL ARTISTS AND PERFORMERS

It also serves writ­ers, visual artists and per­form­ers who want to resolve their own issues and learn how to coach themselves.

Par­tic­i­pants learn the com­mon chal­lenges that writ­ers, visual artists and per­form­ers face and how to effec­tively help clients (and help them­selves) meet those challenges.

The train­ing also has a sig­nif­i­cant practice-building com­po­nent for coaches who want to build a cre­ativ­ity coach­ing practice.

The train­ing is email-based and all you need to par­tic­i­pate is email. You can be any­where in the world, in any time zone, as there is no need for you to be any­where at a cer­tain moment.

TRAINING ENDORSEMENTS

 

“Eric Maisel is an inspired coach and teacher. He is extremely knowl­edge­able and shares his knowl­edge gen­er­ously in a focused and prac­ti­cal way. I’ve just com­pleted another train­ing with him and as always, I am amazed not only at how much I’ve learned for use with my own clients and stu­dents, but how expan­sive my own writ­ing and cre­ative process have become!” — Susan Borkin

“I have learned more by par­tic­i­pat­ing in this advanced train­ing than I have in many of my grad­u­ate classes. Eric Maisel is sup­port­ive and insight­ful, and the train­ing pro­vides mate­r­ial and exer­cises that are both prac­ti­cal and thought-provoking. I was able to learn and com­mu­ni­cate by email with so many inter­est­ing and sup­port­ive peo­ple who broad­ened my per­spec­tive on cre­ativ­ity and what it means to live a cre­ative life. I highly rec­om­mend the train­ing to all artists and those inter­ested in cre­ativ­ity coach­ing as a pro­fes­sion.” — Mandi Batolo

“The many things I learned in the advanced train­ing were imme­di­ately use­ful to me both as a writer and a writ­ing coach. As a writer, I finally faced and got over my most hard­ened resis­tances. For the first time in my life I’m writ­ing on a reg­u­lar basis. Also, I put many of Eric’s coach­ing insights to imme­di­ate use in my coach­ing prac­tice, help­ing each of my clients sig­nif­i­cantly.” — David Storer

“This online cre­ativ­ity course has already been an adven­ture and it’s only been two weeks! I’ve learned so much about myself, about cre­ativ­ity, and about how I can help unblock it in myself and in oth­ers. As a coach, I feel like I have a safety net around me — if I make a mis­take with a client, I have the sup­port of other coaches-in-training, plus the sup­port of a guid­ing expert (Eric) to wit­ness it all. I still haven’t decided if I want to do cre­ativ­ity coach­ing for life, but I’m begin­ning to increase my con­fi­dence through this course that I can help oth­ers unleash their cre­ativ­ity.” — Sylvia L.

“Learn­ing Cre­ativ­ity Coach­ing from Eric Maisel has been an eye-opener for me. I dis­cov­ered how sat­is­fy­ing it is to sup­port peo­ple as they pur­sue cre­ative goals. Also, I learned that coach­ing by e-mail is much more effec­tive than I had imag­ined. The e-mail teach­ing for­mat works very well. Maisel gen­er­ously shares what he’s learned from his exten­sive expe­ri­ence coach­ing artists. The sup­port from fel­low stu­dents, as well as Maisel, has been heart-warming and inspires con­fi­dence. The oppor­tu­nity to work with real clients through­out the train­ing period is invalu­able. With­out it, I might never have dis­cov­ered how reward­ing it is to do this work. With the help of this class, I’ve found what I’ve been search­ing for.” – Jan P.

“The advanced train­ing was rich in prac­ti­cal gifts, full of hands-on learn­ing, cre­ative assign­ments and great insights. Eric has a great way of mak­ing it all chal­leng­ing and inter­est­ing. Work­ing with clients as the weeks pro­gressed and using what was appro­pri­ate or inter­est­ing for them made a great learn­ing cir­cle for every­one. This was a fab­u­lous oppor­tu­nity for me to enhance my coach­ing skills and learn prac­ti­cal new tips for my clients. I learned so much more about coach­ing and, as a bonus, about my own cre­ative process. The train­ing was reward­ing as all of Eric’s train­ing pro­grams have been. Thank you, Eric!” – Pamela Yates

“The two train­ings I’ve taken on-line with Eric have both been extremely worth­while expe­ri­ences for me in terms of work­ing with clients and also in terms of being a bet­ter coach to myself.  The advanced train­ing was par­tic­u­larly valu­able for me on a per­sonal level as I have had dif­fi­cul­ties restart­ing my mixed media art­work. Tak­ing the course put things into a clear per­spec­tive and helped me make that final push to get back to my own ideas. I com­pleted sev­eral projects dur­ing the course of the 16 weeks, but the one that was the most sig­nif­i­cant to me was start­ing back on a large piece I had aban­doned a cou­ple years ago. Eric loves what he is doing and is an extremely gen­er­ous instruc­tor and I look for­ward to tak­ing more of his courses in the future.” – Jill Jones

“What more can I say than that after 16 weeks of par­tic­i­pat­ing in the advanced train­ing I am really sorry to see it end. As a writer with a day job and other seri­ous duties com­pet­ing for my time, hav­ing the struc­ture of this on-line com­mu­ni­ca­tion with Eric and the many other writ­ers with sim­i­lar issues has been invalu­able. From the per­sonal to the pub­lic, we’ve looked at a full spec­trum of the strug­gles we face as peo­ple dri­ven to cre­ate. Just engag­ing in this process has been com­fort­ing for me, and cog­ni­tively I’ve learned skills and gained infor­ma­tion that I didn’t have before. Eric has a unique under­stand­ing of what makes cre­ative peo­ple tick (or not), and cou­pling this with a prac­ti­cal knowl­edge of the cre­ative world, both inner and outer, he pro­vided an enjoy­able and use­ful learn­ing expe­ri­ence.” – Denise Beck-Clark

“I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the advanced course that I just com­pleted. I feel like I got what I most hoped for, which is a huge increase in my artis­tic out­put. The assign­ments you sent out, along with your com­ments helped me to be much more ambi­tious about what I might achieve with my art­work. I worked through a num­ber of inter­nal excuses for not doing my art, and I was com­forted by the fact that I shared so many of the same strug­gles with the other mem­bers of our group. The online for­mat worked very well. I have been a great fan of your writ­ings on the sub­ject of cre­ativ­ity for a num­ber of years, so my expec­ta­tions for the class were high. The new ways I’ve been apply­ing my cre­ativ­ity in the past few months are a clear val­i­da­tion of the effec­tive­ness of your method. And my cre­ative boost has not been lim­ited to my art mak­ing. I have a lot of new ideas for the courses I teach, and I have expe­ri­enced an explo­sion of ideas in both prod­ucts and mar­ket­ing ideas for my prod­uct design busi­ness. I have encour­aged a num­ber of friends to take one of your courses, and I believe that doing so would be an effi­cient way for any­one to give their cre­ative out­put a lift.” – Michael Kieley

“Last week I com­pleted your advanced train­ing and I want you to know how valu­able the six­teen weeks have been for me. The course was help­ful on two fronts. Firstly, even though I have a 20-year-long writ­ing career and have pub­lished sev­eral books, I still strug­gle. I finally began to under­stand this exis­ten­tial process as your extra­or­di­nary psy­cho­log­i­cal insights unfolded each week. Your replies to each participant’s assign­ment responses were exceed­ingly enlight­en­ing and, quite mirac­u­lously, every indi­vid­ual reply res­onated among ALL par­tic­i­pants. Per­haps the best les­son of all has been the priv­i­lege of watch­ing you ‘walk your talk’ through your gen­eros­ity of spirit, com­mit­ment to process, and exem­plary model as a cre­ative. Thank you for help­ing me to trans­form, so deeply and per­ma­nently, my rela­tion­ship with my writ­ing.” – Cath­leen Rountree

“After read­ing about Eric and his efforts to begin a new Cre­ativ­ity Coach­ing dis­ci­pline, I attended a speech he gave to the Romance Writ­ers of Amer­ica in Emeryville, Cal­i­for­nia. I was intrigued by what he had to say and also excited to find a dis­ci­pline totally devoted to help­ing the creative-minded. I signed up for the Cre­ativ­ity Coach­ing Course, a sixteen-week intro­duc­tion to cre­ativ­ity coach­ing. Being a writer myself, I then signed on for his Advanced Train­ing. Both expe­ri­ences have been worth­while. Eric pro­vided a struc­ture for think­ing about cre­ativ­ity and the tools I needed to com­mu­ni­cate with clients and to help them find their way to liv­ing the cre­ative lives they want. I am so glad my friend invited me to Eric’s inspi­ra­tional talk. Oth­er­wise, I might not have dis­cov­ered this great new career.” – Bar­bara Mill­man Cole
