INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Be it through email correspondence, on the phone or face-to-face, Beth acts as a guide to help you uncover your hidden diamond within. Sometimes that requires her to ask difficult questions and have you think about them in an entirely new way, or think about them for the first time. Sometimes she points out a different way of framing the situation to lead you to try on a different perspective. She helps you get to where you want to go, though often, suprisingly, the destination is different and better than ever imagined.

In coaching, she first asks a lot of questions to find out what the client wants to do, why, and what has been in the way of her goal in the past. Then in co-creation with her client, they come up with strategies to accomplish her goals. With the coaching hat on, she listens closely to her needs, her difficulties, and her motivations, and often ask more questions than she answers. That's because the client will know what will work better for her success than Beth does. What Beth does is provide a safe and focused space for her client to find those answers. The coaching relationship is a catalyst for change and progress. Additionally, Beth offers scaffolding to help her client to her next steps by suggesting specific tools and techniques for the craft of writing and for the writer's mindset. Beth also assists with creative ideas for scheduling and for ways to help her client be accountable to herself.

With the consulting hat on, Beth offers expert advice and industry information about the publishing world, such as how to find agents and editors, and how to submit to them. She subscribe to an online database, Publishers Marketplace, and will share market research with her client, as it relates to her project.

Logistics:
Contact Beth to sign up for individual coaching sessions. She usually works with clients for an initial three-month committment. The best way to know if creativity coaching is right for you is to contact Beth for a 30-minute consultation.
