If you have ever wanted to write a book or take on a creative project that is bigger than you think you can handle, this is the episode for you!

While on one of my exploratory sessions – time that I give myself to just be pulled along by whatever interests me - I stumbled onto Anne Janzer and I’m so glad I did! Anne is a multiple book author and writing coach.  

She is also a wonderful example of what it takes to let your creativity bloom. Her advice? Get writing. Get creating. Get doing. 

What if you don’t have a solid idea on what you are wanting to create? Get doing. Get writing. Get creating!

In her experience, she says: “The idea came through the work. You don’t wait for the idea to come until you do the work. You do the work, and the idea will come.” 

This matches my experience too.  Although hard, as it is against what we have all been taught in school and business, it is also the right approach to take if you want to be better at thriving in change! When we engage with curiosity and flexibility in all we do, we make room for the differences in all of us – including our morale taste buds.  Yup…tune in to learn more on that!

There is sooooo much great content and ideas in this episode! 

Listen in as our conversation emerges and we wind our way through: 

• How the creative process can feel like wading through a field of Lego
• Why it’s good to cherish the time when you aren’t being seen
• How our priming impacts our behavior in big ways
• Why you should expect the mess
• The benefits of letting failures be seen
• Ideas and resources for expanding your thinking – including taking your shoes off first!

Enjoy!
