Creativity Guiding Sessions

The stories that want to come fully-fleshed into the world sometimes need a little nudge in the right direction. It is difficult to birth something creative into the world and often we just need someone to help us organize our thoughts, celebrate the little successes, and catch the stall-out moments.

My style of creativity guiding is a mixture of accountability coaching and motivational interviewing that trusts you already know what direction you’re heading, but that you might need someone to help find the detailed steps of how your unique way of arriving might look.

I am here to help you take next step in your story to take or where to land the first brushstroke of an empty canvas.

During our sessions we will set an intention for the container (whether that is one, or many sessions), focus on a direction you’d like to start, (or continue heading) and then spend time helping you create your own roadmap to get there. We will figure out what the next most productive step is, generate an outline towards where you’d like to go (knowing that it will change!), and your preferred way to be held accountable to this work.

In addition crafting and cultivating your own pathway towards your creative projects, I will also invite creative ways to integrate and keep yourself accountable through different modes like art, movement, poetry, and tarot.

My accountability work is done best in the container of regular sessions. All accountability work begins with a 1-hour initial set up and a fluid format from there that is personalized to your specific work style.

Accountability packages are as intensive, or hands-off as you need to succeed.

The total hours of the accountability packages are divided in a unique way to your accountability needs.

    • Set an intention and goals for our time together

Your Guide – Dagny Deutchman

I have spent most of my life obsessed with the science of habits and mentoring spaces. I have woven in and out of many habits just to see if I could do it. 187 days of writing, countless hours of meditation, making it to the gym 5 days a week for a 9-month period (whether or not I actually worked out), gratitude practices—you name it. I take a sick joy in seeing if I can stick to something, forget about it, and return to it once more.

Over many years, these obsessions with adding habits in, or breaking habits out, I have come to find that devotion to a particular task or creative process is a place I feel very at home. I’ve failed in every way you can imagine and found a way to meander back to my passions in spite of all that “life” stuff that gets in the way. I’m happy to help encourage you through this process and help you discover what works best for you.

In my particular style of accountability coaching I actually encourage falling off of the habit wagon frequently and finding creative ways to get back towards what we love. Habits are not formed out of doing something perfectly, they are formed from getting back on track every time we fall away from the consistency of our goals. Together we’ll find a lighthearted way to get you back to where you’d like to be.
