<description><![CDATA[When someone asks you what you do, it's not enough anymore to say that you're a photographer, a writer, a painter or a musician, etc. There are thousands of people who do what you do and it's a dangerous thing to try to be all things to all people. You must stand out. But how? What will make someone remember you over everyone else out there doing the same thing?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever created a vision board or collage? If you haven't, or it's been a while, I encourage you give it a go. I love it for several reasons: It's lots of fun, it uses both the right and left sides of your brain and it can become a powerful visual reminder of what you're working towards and where you've been.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently be there for you when you need it. Practice makes perfect and, like Maya Angelou said, "The more (creativity) you use, the more you have." ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Perfectionism is an insidious habit that cloaks itself in good intentions. After all, we all want to do the best we can at whatever we do, right? However, at the root of perfectionism is fear: fear that whatever you attempt will never be good enough or will never measure up to the (sometimes impossibly) high standards you set for yourself.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You know, even creative thinkers get stuck in the realm of the hum-drum every day...the realm of the possible.

<description><![CDATA[When you partner with the right coach, you will be able to find yourself making amazing strides towards the plans, goals and life you're dreaming of. A while ago, I was catching up with a friend on the phone and I mentioned a few of the new things I'm developing for my coaching practice. She said, "Oh! Is that the one where you encourage people on their careers and stuff?" I had a giggle. Uh-huh. Yep, that's the one.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by the magnitude of a project or projects that you want to accomplish in a day? Do you flit from one thing to the next without really productively achieving anything of value, only to find yourself at the end of the day asking, "What did I do all day?" Are you then left with the feeling that you wasted a whole day away of doing . . . not a lot? You're not alone.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How much do you get done without a deadline? To tell the truth, as a creative person I really need the exterior motivation of a time frame or someone counting on me to get my booty in gear. It's just way too easy to put things off.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You've thought up something fantastic. Something you'd love to do, that would make a difference, something you think that someone should do. You may have even shared it in vague form in passing conversation with a friend over a coffee or while shopping during an escalator ride at the mall. However, when coffee or retail therapy were over, the idea just receded to the back of your brain, rarely, if ever to be seen again.]]></description>
