What people say about the course:

“As a Supervisor and teacher, Jen Gash’s book ‘Coaching Creativity’ has long been my go-to book for everything to do with coaching and creativity. This new course brings Jen’s wisdom and knowledge to life in a fascinating set of resources to work through at your own pace which I know will be invaluable for coaches at every stage of their developmental journey. With characteristic generosity and flair, Jen takes us on a rich and exiting creative journey from the roots of creativity via neurology to her own accessible model of creative coaching. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course for any coach wanting to introduce creativity into their practice. It is packed full of useful tips and ideas and most importantly encourages us all to think of ourselves as creative beings. For me, as a creative coach the invitation to step into Jen’s beautiful, thoughtful world feels like coming home. ”

“I really can’t recommend this course highly enough and don’t think Jen has yet understood the true value of what she is providing. The breadth and richness of learning means there is something for everyone, whether or not you already consider yourself a creative coach or even a creative person, whether you consider yourself academic or not. The course supports a wide range of preferred learning styles, using text, videos, case studies, opportunities for self-reflection and lots of great interactive tools. The structure means you can focus on the practical tools alone or read up on the history and science behind creativity and Jen’s tools. I appreciated the references and recommendations for further reading, although there is already a lot of research from multiple sources, brilliantly brought together within the course. As well as a wonderful, playful imagination, Jen also has a great mastery of explaining complex and, what could be, dry subjects in a way that is easy to follow, interesting and insightful. I feel incredibly glad and lucky to have found it! ”

“I am really excited about the Coaching Creativity course, I find Jen’s approach very relatable with even ‘serious’ theory presented in an easily accessible manner. The course is divided into Modules, which are laid out clearly with choice to follow the course as it comes or to move through in my own way, dipping into modules and choosing my own direction. I love the freedom of this style of learning, I long ago realised that classroom learning is not my strength and the interactive, self guided way this course is set up works brilliantly! From the start Jen had my attention , with her humour, engaging quizzes, interactive activities and readily useable Tools. Jen’s confidence, knowledge and experience as Coach, Occupational therapist and Artist are palpable and give the course a grounded quality which I love!”

Creativity for Coaches course - nice and simple

And just so you know...

This is different to other courses: it's not just about using pens, paint etc in coaching, it's not just about creative thinking and innovation, it's not just about helping highly creative people, it's not just about helping people paint/write/create....it's all of it! And I feel it will help you too! Learning about creativity helped my creativity blossom, resulting in me publishing two books and winning a TV painting competition. I hope that doesn't sound showy-offy, but I really wish we all understood creativity better and embraced it much more. I do hope you join us. Jen x
