When Christina Giorgio first started offering workshops for artists, she was convinced that my classes were going to be full of young, funky recent university graduates, but what actually happened took her by surprise.
I was so sure that it would be fresh minds that I could get started right, launching them off into the world with their youthful exuberance and a whole pile more savviness that I had at that point in my career. And while I found there were certainly a few wonderful young start ups out there, most of my creatives actually fit into another category.
What I’ve discovered is that many of my workshop participants are actually mid-career creatives. They have so much experience behind them, loads of skills and talents, but many of them are at a turning point, where things aren’t always working as great as they used to or could be or they are ready for more. Many want to work smarter not harder or have lost touch with that creative passion that kick started it all.
If any of that sounds like you then the following two blogs will give you some food for thought. And, for those who feel like they need to go deeper with custom support, then check out my strategy sessions for established creatives. These are exclusively for individual artists, organisations and business owners who have been operating for some time.
Five tips to help mid career creatives get unstuck, shift gear or continue to bigger and better things.
