How Does Gateways Coaching Work?

Gateways Consulting helps artists to discover or build upon their true creative core, and to foster career growth. Together, we will help you to clarify your goals, empower your Creativity, and take consistent actions to produce results.

First, a complimentary consultation will allow me to understand the main challenges of your particular transition, and to explain more about how Gateways works. Gateways Consulting is a two-step process. It has a simple framework that allows for organic movement. Here is the best way to describe the process:

1. CLARIFICATION:
We will spend time needed to fully clarify your goals and challenges. Universal themes relating to creativity will lend insight into your own creative cycles, habits, needs, gifts and obstacles, both inner and outer. As clarity is revealed, we will be empowered with a sense of direction. You will be guided into taking new and sensible actions that will start to build your momentum toward new goals.

2. ACCELERATION:
Clarification has given way to early momentum in this stage. You are working through resistances and developing new habits on the inner or outer levels (or both) in an effort to further increase momentum. You will be supported with a various tools suited to your sensibilities: journaling, meditation, listing, drawing, outlining, researching, thought and energy shifting. Clients continue to build momentum and accelerate toward their goals.

Each client works through Gateways Artist Consulting in a unique way. I have worked with clients for as short a period as three months and as long a period as three years. Duration depends upon the degree of clarification at the start, and upon the unique style, rhythm, and resistance of each client.

Gateways consulting clients discover new insights into their creative process while implementing new attitudes and strategies. However, Gateways remains a goal-oriented process, not to be confused with therapy.
