Book excerpt: Creative Career Coaching: Theory into Practice is an innovative book for career development students and professionals aiming to creatively progress their coaching practice. Without losing sight of fundamental coaching values and practices, it encourages career development professionals to adapt their practice by harnessing imagination, intuition and critical reflection to engage clients. Hambly and Bomford consider the usefulness of creativity alongside traditional coaching models to reach "harder to help" groups. They consider a whole-brain approach to creativity, emphasising the need for coaches to adapt their client-facing skills for individual cases. They work through how clients make career decisions, how to use labour market information to motivate clients, how to frame a creative coaching session using techniques such as metaphor, visualisation and role play, how to use practical tools and techniques to resolve a client’s individual needs, and how to deliver on digital platforms. Combining the latest neuroscientific research with activities, summaries and case studies, this book provides a practical, skills-based approach to coaching. Creative Career Coaching: Theory into Practice is the first book to summarise the Creative Career Coaching Model. It will be an indispensable resource for students of career development, career coaching, coaching psychology and advice and guidance courses. It will also be of interest to career coaches in practice seeking to enhance their skills.

Download or read book Real Artists Don t Starve written by Jeff Goins and published by HarperCollins Leadership. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeff Goins dismantles the myth that being creative is a hindrance to success by revealing how an artistic temperament is a competitive advantage in the marketplace.? The myth of the starving artist has dominated our culture, seeping into the minds of creative people and stifling their pursuits. The truth is that the world's most successful artists did not starve. In fact, they capitalized on the power of their creative strength. In Real Artists Don't Starve, bestselling author and creativity expert Jeff Goins debunks the myth of the starving artist by unveiling the ideas that created it and replacing them with 14 rules for artists to thrive, including: Steal from your influences (don't wait for inspiration) Collaborate with others (working alone is a surefire way to starve) Take strategic risks (instead of reckless ones) Make money in order to make more art (it's not selling out) Apprentice under a master (a "lone genius" can never reach full potential) From graphic designers and writers to artists and business professionals, creatives already know that no one is born an artist. Goins' revolutionary rules celebrate the process of becoming an artist, a person who utilizes the imagination in fundamental ways. He reminds creatives that business and art are not mutually exclusive pursuits. Real Artists Don't Starve explores the tension every creative person and organization faces in an effort to blend the inspired life with a practical path to success. Being creative isn't a disadvantage for success, it is a powerful tool to be harnessed.

Download or read book Careers For Creative People written by Chris Gomersall and published by Peachpit Press. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are unknowingly part of an underground army that gives the world new things every day. New designs, new looks, new features, and new ways for old things to work. Most of the world doesn’t know where they come from, they just love to have them. Billions of dollars a year depend on creative people and thousands of companies hire them. This is where you come in. This is why the world needs you. Right now. Simply put, this book is about the business side of creativity, written for creative people, by creative people. Get a job you love, keep a job you have, get paid more for your talent. Whether you want a solo career, your own business, a position at a well-known company, or a promotion from within, this book will be your guide. This book also provides a comprehensive list of creative jobs in design, career best practices, and advice from experts in their field, helping talented creative people to: • Understand the vast universe of creative occupations in design • Choose which career path to follow • Master the social and business politics of the creative world • Learn the truth about the Design industry (the good, the bad, and the ugly) from people who are already making money doing it The amount of people who hope to turn their creativity into a professional career wildly outnumber the very select few who actually end up doing so. Why? The biggest reason many amazingly gifted people never pursue a career in creativity is that they don’t know where to start or how to do so. Thus, they never realize that they too can be one of the many people out in the world making a (rather good) living by doing something they love. Creativity is as genetic as eye color. It's hardcoded baby. Built in. Irreversible. Irresistible. Don't try to shake it. Embrace your talent, find the right job, get paid for your talent. This book is about so much more than money. It's about love. Loving what you do. Loving what you create. Loving where you work. There are very few people that can create something out of nothing. Use this book as a guide to focus your efforts in finding the right creative job. Don't stop wondering. Don't stop asking questions. And don't stop looking until your Monday mornings are as enjoyable as your Friday afternoons. It might not be easy to find, but that job exists.
