    • Senior Coach
      • Mar 2002 - Present

      I've been coaching high-level professional artists for more than 20 yrs. Initially focussing on enhancing performance, and now encompassing the whole person, their unique creative process and the fulfillment of their big creative dreams. I began coaching visionary creative entrepreneurs in 2012, when I realized that many of the qualities that are present in their personalities, their processes and key practices are essentially the same as with high-level artists. Visionary Creative Entrepreneurs are master artists whose medium is the world of ideas, potentiality and actualization. Show less
