  • Shoot Your Arrow of Creative Productivity With Grace

    The economy’s in flux. Lightning-speed changes in technology dizzy you. And yet your mind teems with ideas. And yet you want, want, want to sustain your creative productivity. But you and I know the problems.

    You lose your focus.
    Your time slips away.
    Your vision fades into a packed scheduler. Your confidence dissolves into a pool of “I’m a fraud and a fool!”-ness.

    How can you keep up with let alone innovate in your field?

    Imagine your creative momentum like an arrow. What keeps it suspended in air and on-target? What makes the shooting and executing feel effortless?

  • Change Your Creative Thinking Through the Body

    Change Your Creative Thinking Through the Body

    ou want to change your creative mind. More focus. More fire. More flexibility and creative thinking. More time. More creativity and less reactivity. But every time you try to change, you revert back to old habits? So how do you change? How do you get “to the bottom of things”?

    A Freudian lens might say, “Go within to figure out why you can’t change. Plunge into your psyche’s depths to find the root cause and story.” A New Age lens might say, “Just imagine yourself changed, and soon you’ll attract everything to change you.” Or another soft lens might simply say, “You’re good enough. Stop trying to change yourself.” All three fall short. Scientists and sages alike show it so.

    Maybe the way to change is more physical and less mystical than we care to hear.

    The training I’ve developed for a select group gets to the core – without the Freudian stories or mystical wishful thinking.

    Should You Court Metaphor or Courage to Write Your Story?

    A few months after Carol Sanford’s son Kirk died prematurely, as a writer she didn’t square off with or mine her heart, per se. She turned to her son’s astronomy notebooks. And then she felt her way into metaphor and…
