Executive Coaching for What’s Next

Specifically for creative humans, from makers and leaders to entrepreneurs

Dear Creative Humans

Are you feeling stuck? Are you struggling to sort out what’s next? Do you want to position yourself from a place of opportunity?

Maybe you knew what you wanted when you started in the creative industry, but now? Mmm, not so much.

Maybe you climbed the ladder and now need to figure out what’s next. Maybe the ladder got pulled out from under you completely and has left you reeling... Ugh, ladders.

What if there was an easier way forward with a trusted partner at your side?

Together, let’s unlock what’s next.

  • “Between Astrid’s high emotional intelligence and unique ability to drill in on areas to work through, I always felt incredibly comfortable and motivated at the end of each session. She was instrumental in helping me fine-tune my values and non-negotiables.”

    — Managing Director, San Francisco

  • “After 20 years in the same career, I unexpectedly lost my job. Astrid helped me face all the fears I have about starting over and showed me ways to shut down the self-doubt that was holding me back. Our sessions helped me set achievable goals and develop a kinder version of accountability that keeps me on track. She also showed me how to recognize my own self-sabotaging habits, and how to redirect my energies more positively. Changing careers mid-life is still scary, but I feel armed with the tools to help me move forward.”

    — Creative Director, New York

  • “From day one, Astrid made me feel completely at ease, which allowed me to open up right from the start. Her coaching gave me the tools and confidence to not only improve my own work but also implement new structures and policies that have had a positive impact on both the studio and the team. Her guidance has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. I’m grateful for the invaluable support she provided throughout the process.”

    — Head of Human Resources, Dublin

  • “I had just received my annual review and was pretty disappointed by the feedback from my team. I knew I needed to step up my game and I knew I needed help. Astrid helped me navigate the complexities of corporate life, build trust with my team, become a better overall communicator and I eventually received the promotion I so desired. She pushed me past my comfort zone, helping me break some of my bad habits and my tendency to under-communicate. She's the first person I reach out to when I'm faced with a new challenge.”

What I Offer

1:1 Coaching

Whether you’re unsure where you’re going next, want to pivot careers, have experienced a layoff or are transitioning into a leadership role — let’s work through it together.

Team & Group Coaching

Move through a transition with more ease, or uncover your guiding purpose and values with coaching, programming and tools that really work. I provide the framework so that you and your team can make your ideas real.

Workshops

Engaging, tailored-for-you workshops for organizations and small groups. More than just feel-good inspirational content, you’ll leave with real shifts and meaningful actions to take.

Who I Work With

Who I work with isn’t limited to art directors, writers, and creative directors or even to individuals.

If you approach your work with a creative mindset, guess what? I do too.

  • From graphic and UX designers to screenwriters, marketers and strategists to producers and animators, working with creative humans is my specialty - whether you work at an agency, production studio or in-house, junior level to C-Suite.

     

  • Whether you are in a senior role moving into a director position, or ready to grow into a C-Suite role, I work with you to hone in on your leadership skills and approach.

  • From seasoned entrepreneurs and small business owners to those considering taking the leap and starting their own practice, I work with you so you can carve your own path forward with confidence.

  • Beyond individuals, I also work with agencies, brands, production studios, small groups and teams to create customized workshops, programming and content series that fit your goals.

Where My Clients Work

There are a lot of coaches out there, yet only a few who truly understand the creative industry first-hand. I understand creatives and the creatively minded. And I understand what it takes to align your work and life, rather than molding your life around work.

Whether you’re figuring out what’s next, resolving workplace issues, making a big decision or pivoting your career, let’s get started making your goals a reality.
