THE GENIUS DIP
- the journey to true creativity
W
orking with CEOs and senior leadership teams, my approach is a combination of tough love, deep care and compassion with challenge and provocation and being a coach is a life’s work that’s constantly evolving for me.
Feeling the agonies of life, being heartbroken and feeling lost can inspire the most beautiful lyrics and create the most incredible music. These creatives have often been emotionally, financially, spiritually challenged and this ‘back against the wall’ state is what they have (sometimes unwittingly) accessed to create some of their best work. This resonates with the world, since behind the masks many of us wear, is the same pain and it’s this pain that often needs to be accessed in order to break free from our comfort zones and step into our own creativity.
Genius Creativity Many of the great creatives and entrepreneurs of our time - Van Gogh, Richard Branson, Amy Winehouse - accessed their own ‘genius’ in times of trauma, scarcity and adversity.
