The Art of Transformation Podcast is back. In these short conversations, I dig for insights you won't find on a CV. If you're a creative or entrepreneur, this is for you. #transformation #creativity #insights

The retreat, our Artist Resonancy, continues to inspire me, and everyone who joined. I'm really looking forward to leading this again next year.

I feel humbled by the depth, connection, and artwork our "artists in resonance" have already created this week. We intentionally scheduled easeful days, tons of flexibility, amazing healthy food, and time to process our once-daily sessions. #artistresonancy #artistsinresonance #marcscheff

You might not even notice you're already doing something that grows your creative muscle. Cooking? Gymming? Walking? From the video... Leave a comment, what is your low stakes creative stomping ground?

My wife told me something I ... thought was bonkers. But she was right. This really challenged and clarified my perspective. #shealmostalwaysis #creativecoaching #marcscheff #unleashcreativityclub

If you've been doing creative work professionally for a long time, you start to lose your sense of wonder. The whole reason you got into this was wonder. So reconnect to that massively impactful creative instinct, right now :) #creativecoaching #marcscheff #creativework

I know how the days go when you're absolutely jammed and end the day feeling like you made no progress. This habit will change that and give you more days that feel like success. #coaching #creativecoaching #marcscheff #makeamess #art #drawing #creativity

You don't want to be successful. Your heroes weren't successful either, even though that's all we see. You want to be sure of your creative authority. Which you can be, and should be! You want the mindset to fail like your heroes. #marcscheff #creativecoaching #unleashcreativityclub #makeamess

There are 1,032,476 courses that tell you the same thing: systems are better than goals. Ours is different. In the Creative Launch, you will put this into practice, with a small group of focused creatives who believe you can climb mountains too.

When I work with creatives, they have a good imagination, and often put it to use imagining worst case scenarios. Negative visualization is actually pretty useful... if you're willing to go the extra step and work with it. Join us, TODAY, very soon, to learn how. #marcscheff #unleashcreativityclub

Did you know someone predicted the pandemic? Did you know the participants in a 2010 study were more prepared, and less thrown off by this global surprise? Who doesn't want a little less freak out and little more feeling on top of your shi*t? Join us Wednesday to get your resilience booster!

Your plan won't work because: 1. You don't make one. 2. You make it, but don't do it. 3. You do it, but realize it's the wrong one. There's 1 answer to all of this, and you get it just by showing up to our free workshop Wednesday. #creativecoaching #marcscheff #unleashcreativityclub

The first rule of jiu jitsu club: ALWAYS talk about jiu jitsu club. My practice over the last almost 8 years has taught me quite a bit about how to find lessons everywhere. In my newsletter, I share more in depth and offer thought exercises every week to challenge your thinking. #creativecoaching

A client typically tells me all the things she knows she doesn't want. That's a good start. When we  shift to talking about what she DOES want, that's when we start to see progress. It's easy to say no to something when you're a yes to something else. #creativecoaching #marcscheff

When my kids learned to ride bikes, there was a ... lot of screaming, mostly at me. They were not ready. Now we bike to school every day. Ready is now second nature. Ready is the RESULT of action. In my newsletter, I unpack ideas like this every week. Link in profile. #creativecoaching #marcscheff

A creative community is more than friends. It's people you trust because they GET you. I can't say enough how much this makes a difference when you're in your creative cave. That's why we do a training in our community on upleveling those good conversations. #creativecoaching #marcscheff

Do you struggle to start? Get to the end of your day and find that burst of energy you wish you had earlier? What helps my clients is thinking even smaller. The first step is often smaller than you think. In my newsletter, I unpack ideas like this every week. Link in profile. #creativecoaching

Habits aren't forever. This makes sense, I don't work out the same way I did when I was 20. So why is it so hard to shift gears? Today we talk about how and how often to step back, take stock, and make small shifts. MUCH easier than waiting till the gears fall apart. In our FINAL short episode, ...

Just a reminder, start your morning with something that feels good. Science: Get that dopamine early; it will set the tone for your day. Behavior: Um... don't be a cranky person, give yourself some joy first thing. Suggestion: (don't open your phone until after!) 1/2

When Tamsin and I decided to combine our powers and create the Creative Habit 2.0 Workshop, we knew it couldn't be a lecture. Because habits and creativity are bespoke AF. I have a habit of training jiu jitsu on weekday mornings, doesn't mean you should (I mean, if you're curious, DM me)

This is going to sound weird. In the video I talk about how lots of creatives and entrepreneurs have a fear of imagining. Which... makes no sense, right? But it does check out. If you're someone creating (life, family, business, art) you have a good imagination.

So, I'm sitting having coffee with my brilliant friend Tamsin. We would meet before my training ... because she lived three blocks from my BJJ gym (shoutout to PSA BJJ). We were talking about the impact we make with our clients, me with my creativity frameworks and her with habit science.

If you're a creative, you have a good imagination, so you'll always be looking ahead of where you are. There's no "there." And if there's no there... wouldn't it be cool to enjoy the journey? This is core inner work, and I know a place...
