What a Creativity Coaching client needs most from a Coach is accountability and support. Support normally comes in the form of compassion and kindness. People need support because it’s difficult to “self support” especially if they have been failing in life. People can be harsh with themselves and their self talk is not always as supportive as it can be.

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”

Support can mean different things to different people and the kind of support the coach offers is heavily dependent on the kind of creativity activity the Creativity Coaching Client may be involved in. It could be practical support like pointing a client in the direction of an arts website or it could be more psychological like for example working with negative self talk. It should also always be an attitude on the part of the coach.

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.

Encouraging clients to accept the anxiety of creating is another way of offering support. In fact making a client aware of the anxiety of creating could be another as it’s not something that all clients are aware off.

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.
