People Are Talking:
The thing that sets you apart from other creativity experts is that you are grounded & practical. You are not whimsical and “silly”; you have the analytical, practical, scientific approach. You launch your people to make their own creative way.
I am inspired by the whimsical, “silly” ones, but I’m equipped by the understanding of self and personality and process that you offer.

I’ve learned more from your classes in these 9 weeks than from seeing a psychologist for 24 years.

You have a grounded, scientific, thoroughly researched approach that gives one a far better understanding of one’s self. I so appreciate your approachability, and the fact that you talk from experience and are not afraid to share your own struggles and vulnerabilities.
