Individuals experience cutting-edge tools that actually train brain pathways to replace the struggle to engage in creative passions with a comfortable habit and an inspired desire.

Customized to Your Needs
Limited enrollment and the application of the KMCC tools to the training process ensure success, understanding and the deepening of your own creative process. The Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach training can also be customized to meet the needs and demands of organizations needing a Kaizen oriented approach to innovation, team building, and encouraging creative thought.
How Our Training is Delivered
This 15-week training takes place in a dynamic online learning environment that includes weekly live teleconferences with Jill Badonsky and a special lecture and readings from Dr. Robert Maurer. This mode of delivery has been specifically designed with our students in mind. Students practice-coach with each other during the training and listen to and evaluate coaching calls. Once the training is complete there is a system in place to refer them to outside clients for further skill development.
"And as far as being a KMCC coach... Wow, when I think about how much I dreaded going to my life-coaching conference calls, how stifled I felt, how cookie-cutter predictable it was - oh my, it was not for me. So I am grateful for your version of coaching and how much freedom and fun and creativity and unpredictability it brings (not to mention being profoundly powerful and life-changing). It will stretch me to become more of myself, which feels so deliciously daring! It is the perfect compliment to the work I already do, and who knows how I'll weave it all together!"

"Jill Badonsky's KMCC training is the ultimate in preparation for creativity coaching. Her tools of the trade, essential; her talent for moving information from her heart to yours, direct; her methods for learning this coaching style, creative and compassionate.

Already a Coach or Counselor?
If you are a life coach or counselor, you might notice your approach with creative clients needs to be different or you will experience rapid turnover. Rebellion and resistance are natural parts of being creative. Unfortunately, these dynamics sometimes work counter to the intentions of creative individuals as they rebel against their own structure as well as those of helping professionals. Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching takes into account the dynamics of creative individuals and the creative process that other coaching approaches may overlook, such as:
- resistance to authority
- the non-linear nature of the creative process
- high-sensitivity
- creativity-related avoidance
- an indirect approach to setting INTENTIONS (setting "goals" can actually block a creative person)
- the need for breaks, daydreaming, and downtime
-
the need for nurturing and compassion
- plugging into creative strengths and successes
- question asking versus directives
The KMCC program can enhance your life coaching practice, enabling you to attract new clients and maintain longer, more productive coaching relationships.
