Creativity Coaching
What is a Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach?
Creativity is an essential part of life—a pathway to deepening your relationship with yourself. It’s a life force that makes living more bearable. Not every creative project is meant to generate monetary compensation; sometimes our creative work exists simply as a self-serving habit or ritual.
​
Yet life often gets in the way of making time for our creative work. When things get tough, the first activities we tend to abandon are the very ones that bring us joy. But that doesn’t necessarily have to happen. We sacrifice pleasure even though maintaining an active creative life connects us with our higher selves.
​
As a Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach, I’ll serve as your guide through procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt so you can achieve your creative and artistic goals and connect to your highest self.

Am I the right coach for you?
The renowned French artist Henri Matisse once said, “Creativity takes courage.” From my experience, I know this to be true. Being afraid to express myself left me silent for a long time. But channeling my creative energy into writing opened me up to the world—and opened the world to me. Now, I continue to find the courage to write despite fear.
​
In my early life, I was often silent in rooms full of boisterous conversation—whether with family or friends. One particular night, I was introduced to a group of new people from a college friend’s hometown. I genuinely wanted to know more about them, but I couldn’t find the right words. At that moment, I knew something was wrong. I was so afraid of saying the wrong thing that I ended up saying nothing at all.
Writing is the foundation that eventually helped me break out of that silence. After graduation from college, I worked in media for a little while, but I mainly continued the screenwriting I had begun in college.
​
While screenwriting hasn’t landed me a million-dollar deal yet, it did bring me recognition—I won a competition and placed in several others. But something more important happened: I developed my voice and perspective. Through writing, I realized how clever, funny, and smart I truly am. And I began to open up.
​
When I went to graduate school for writing, everything shifted. I took a contemporary art class and wanted to know more about art, so I applied to become a museum docent and was accepted. After a year of training, I began conducting family tours. For the first time, I was using my voice to share knowledge with people who genuinely wanted to hear what I had to say—and I had something to say. It felt good.
​
What I know for sure is that writing helped me discover my voice. Being shy and insecure in my early life stunted my growth, but placing myself in environments where I had to be courageous allowed me to develop the confidence to speak to anyone. Back in college, I never imagined I would become a university professor who stands in front of students and lectures daily. Yet that’s exactly what I do—because I learned to use my voice through creative expression.​ What creative assignment do you need to complete for your breakthrough?
