“Where do I start?! At the beginning of my work with Jess, I felt like a huge failure, having had to close down my business. I was really feeling quite confused and unconfident in my own ability. Working with Jess, has helped me to reframe my perceived failure, and also to see my own strengths and abilities in a completely new light. I feel like I have processed so much over the sessions which has been incredibly helpful”
Ambitious, creative leaders can often find themselves balancing high standards, expanding responsibilities, and creative vision with the reality of operational delivery. As organisations grow, the need to realign priorities, bring teams along with the vision while maintaining creative momentum becomes increasingly important and can be critical to the survival of a business.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
– Mary Oliver
Business Coaching helps you to reprioritise effectively, ensuring the right focuses rise to the top, at the right times. It can free up time for creative thinking and business development. It can create a deep confidence, strengthen decision making, and sharpen the focus that creates structures which support both innovation and performance.At its core, the coaching approach restores an assured sense of priorities, rebuilds momentum, and creates the conditions for you to reconnect with the work you do—so creativity, clarity, and delivery can thrive.
We offer flexible business coaching to support your needs – we offer both business coaching sessions and packages.
If it’s our classic 1-2-1 coaching or a support package with support outside of the sessions, we’re happy to support your goals.
We recognise the role coaching can play in helping you shape your creative business.
Strategic Thinking.
Limited time for strategic thinking, as day-to-day delivery crowds the space to develop work. This can impact Creative Decision making, especially when small teams carry large expectations while innovation pressures can lead to talent burnout.
Revenue Flow.
When revenue flow is inconsistent due to feast or famine project cycles, it can make long term planning seem impossible and business feel like a constant struggle.
Relationship Management.
Creative business can be more impacted by the need to network, attend events and engage in public speaking. There can also be the need to manage shifting client briefs which can increase operational strain and stretch creativity and finances.
Commercialisation.
Balancing artistic integrity with commercial realities, a constant tightrope between vision and viability. Fear of over or under charging – loss of creative freedom.
