Getting to Where You Want To Be with Eva Lewin
16 November
SOLD OUT

Are you at a crossroads in your creative career? Is your day job flourishing but your creative practice feeling the squeeze? How about taking time out to think afresh on where you are now as a writer and where you want to be a couple of years from now and what you can do to make that happen?

Getting to Where You Want to Be is a compact coaching programme led by Spread the Word’s Writer Development Manager, Eva Lewin.  It uses a questionnaire, two 60-minute face-to-face coaching sessions, a bit of homework and a final follow-up phone call to help you get an overview of where you are now, clarify your goals and identify your choices and the opportunities ahead.  You can also look at how you can deal with obstacles and habits that might hold you back, and the skills, strengths and resources that you can use.  From this discussion you will map out your route and the key steps to achieving your goals.   

In the two 60-minute coaching sessions you will have a space in which you can unplug from the day-to-day and explore what you want to achieve in your creative work and to envisage and think through the routes for getting there.   As the coach, Eva’s role is to listen to you and to prompt you with questions to help you generate ideas, find your own solutions and set yourself realistic steps forward.  (Please note as coaching is really about you finding your own answers, these sessions don’t involve giving out advice and informationEva will point you to advice/info resources in follow-up email where relevant.) 

The coaching is useful for writers at any stage of their creative career, whether you are starting out, mid-way and juggling different projects, or something else altogether where getting a perspective and a plan is what you need.  

You are welcome to contact [email protected] if you would like to discuss anything with Eva before booking. This is especially advised if you have experienced a significant life event, such as a bereavement or separation, in the past year.  

The dates offered here are for your first session.  At this first session you and Eva will set the date for your second session – usually about 4 weeks later.
