092: Weaving the Rich Tapestry of Creativity in Coaching with Karyn Prentice and Elaine Patterson

“Creativity goes beyond our competencies – our capacity to create, our capacity to care, our capacity to be courageous.”

Elaine Patterson and Karyn Prentice, Senior Faculty at the Coaching Supervision Academy International Ltd, join our host Maxine Bell to explore what it means and what it takes to be creative in a noisy world that needs creativity more than ever!

They believe we are all naturally creative. Creativity feeds our souls and is just a breath away. Creating our own preconditions for our creativity to flourish is now mission-critical because it is how we put love into the world. Listen and learn how we must give ourselves and our clients permission to play, get messy, and flow with what emerges, silencing our inner editors and critics.

They ask: “What is possible, and what would it be like if we could all be just 5% or 10% more creative in our lives and work?” Encouraging us to have fun and be audacious in pursuit of our creative expression.
