Heya! Good for you, snapping up a little Reptitude and taking action to support and nurture your creativity. Being a creative person and creating daily while letting your creativity play on a steady basis is hard. So I hope you enjoy what you discover here and get some good, solid, practical use out of it. Here’s to creating every day!
Quick Contact: Email Barbara Martin or find me, @Reptitude, on Twitter.
My motto: Keep learning, or die.
First, the “formal” spin: Creativity Coach Training with some of the top creativity coaches in the country, including Eric Maisel; member of the Creativity Coaching Association; MBA degree and a certificate in public relations. Also a few random certifications like Laughter Yoga Leader. Go figure! (laughing)
Now for the “unvarnished” story: In my free time, I leave footprints and take photographs; until I became an urbanite I was a horticulture nut and designed gardens; lately I’ve taken up improvisational acting to fry my neurons. I’m also a writer and recovering blocked creative. Also parent of a professional child actor (now a college student) and sibling to a published poet.
I just signed up for yet another beginning drawing class — every decade I try drawing again, still nowhere to go with that but up!
Did I mention battling perfectionism and fighting fear of putting my work out there? Oh yeah, I know a lot about those kinds of blocks. Also about feeling frustrated and guilty when you’re not creating like you know you could be….
About YOU: Would you give almost anything to get past being creatively blocked or stuck, to free up your creativity? What would it be worth to bring your creative projects to life? Push your creative boundaries? Or get started, taking the first couple of steps, testing the water? Or maybe you’ve been working along pretty much okay but want to move up to a more prestigious gallery or play in bigger venues? I can help you with that.
Are You Ready? Let me know when you’re ready to take your creativity seriously and move ahead, or you want to recharge your creative efforts, or you want to nudge yourself past your current limits, and you want some compassionate support to help you get going and stay with it, go past the wheel spinning. When you’ve had enough of the harshness of trying to fight wrangle tame claw past that reptilian part of your brain that insists on holding you back, give me a shout. Because I can help you through this so you can create more easily, more often, and with more joy.
Get your Reptitude fix now: Clients work with me by email and/or by phone. I am thrilled if one simple call is sufficient to get you moving towards your goals. Some people like to collaborate for longer stretches, some people prefer an intermittent as-needed arrangement. We’ll make it work for your schedule so you get the support you need and want. And if I don’t think I am the best fit for what you are hoping to accomplish, I’ll tell you that straight out right away because I am all about getting results while enjoying the process. Last but not least, let’s just say confidentiality is my middle name.
Let’s get the ball rolling and reserve your slot: Email Barbara Martin now Tell me a little about where you are with your creativity and where you want to be. I’ll answer back within 24 hours and we’ll work from there.
Remember always: YOU are awesome! You ARE creative! Be brave — Rock on!
