I’m allowed not to be perfect

“I now feel I am allowed not to be perfect, I am reminded that it’s OK to work in ways and structures that suit the creative psyche. Over the course of a creative life, we make many things: there isn’t one static moment of perfection. We are all allowed to develop.”

Rich, insightful content

While delivering rich, insightful content, Sheryl mixes in personal stories with her long experience supporting creatives. She is adept at drawing out the contrasting experiences the group’s members, so that sessions are not lectures, but broad, discursive explorations of a theme. Even the areas of the course that were less relevant personally provoked fascinating insights …

Packed with great ideas, practical advice, useful exercises

What can I say about Sheryl’s ten-week creative coaching course? Highly recommended! I signed up looking to connect to other creatives, gain insights and advice and learn how to move my own practice forward in positive, yet realistic ways. The course delivered all of the above and more, packed with great ideas, practical advice, useful …

It changed the way I view my time and priorities

The course changed the way I view my time and priorities as a creative. My mindset has gone from one of a hamster in a wheel, to realizing I have the power to control my own schedule. Instead of being ruled by an overbooked calendar and self-imposed deadlines, I’m making decisions that are best for …

Fun and inspiring

The group sessions were fun and inspiring. As a result I have upped my day rate, I have a better relationship with my clients and I’ve realised that I am standing on the green grass! I’ve also made connections with other members of the group and given them a few assignments. Thank you for the ride! It’s …

A useful, practical course

Pail Digby

A useful, practical course that looks at how you run your time, market yourself and treat yourself as a freelance creative. Each week allows you the space and time to look at how you work and how you can improve this. I loved the mix of different professions and geographical locations in our group. My …

Transforming!

Jo Cox Photographer

I cannot to express how much difference Sheryl’s coaching programme has made. It enabled me to take the scattered pieces of my creative life and build a tower: something I have been trying to do for a few years. Her highly enjoyable delivery and insightful instruction has given me a totally unexpected confidence, and a …

Practical but fun.. I met some wonderful humans

Melissa Viviers

I loved the down-to-earth and practical but fun coaching style and the people in the group – a testament to Sheryl and the tribe that she attracts. I was scared of ‘compare & despair’ when I signed up, but I’ve met the most wonderful set of humans. Even though we are from different creative disciplines and in different phases …

An incredibly rich and varied course

Rhiannon Tise

This was an incredibly rich and varied course, full of practical advice and tips for creative minds. Sheryl has a wealth of experience and an honest approach. She’s supportive, positive, and always keen to find a solution to a niggling artistic or creative problem, or even just give a friendly virtual hug if you’re feeling …

Anyone would develop their potential after taking this

Elizabeth Vickers

I loved this course. Sheryl ran each week in a constructive way, planning the theme and then letting the conversations develop. She was spot-on with her advice, allowing each of us to have a voice and then guiding us to achieve what potentially was possible. She listened. She guided. I think anyone would develop their potential after taking her course. I’ve now started …

Why haven’t I done this before?

This whole course was like giving my creative life an MOT. I just kept thinking, “Why haven’t I done this before?”
