Are you still waiting?
Waiting for publication before you can call yourself a writer?
Waiting for an exhibition before you can claim the title of artist?
Waiting for someone with authority to tell you that you’re allowed?
Here’s the truth: The permission you’re waiting for needs to come from you.
What happens when you claim your creative identity
When KPH joined last month’s group coaching masterclass, she wasn’t sure what she wanted to write. She had a few ideas but felt scattered and stuck.
‘I kept circling around my ideas, waiting for one to feel right.’
During the session, through group discussion and coaching prompts, she realised how to shape her story. She got off the call and immediately began planning her project – and later called to thank me, saying the masterclass gave her the breakthrough she’d been waiting for.
‘For the first time, I knew exactly what to do next – and I couldn’t wait to start writing.’
KPH, Emerging Writer
This is what becomes possible when you stop waiting for validation and start claiming your creative identity.
What you’ll discover in this workshop
1. The cost of unclaimed identity
Understand the three common identity blocks that keep creatives stuck – and why waiting for external validation doesn’t work.
2. Three powerful mindset shifts
From product to practice
You’re a writer because you write, not because you’re published. Build identity through doing, not achieving.
From comparison to curiosity
Transform the envy and inadequacy of comparison into the learning and growth of curiosity.
From waiting to claiming
Discover why identity-based behaviour is more sustainable than goal-based behaviour, and how to claim your identity now.
3. Daily practices that strengthen your creative self
Small, concrete actions that reinforce your identity and help you embody it, not just think about it.
What to expect
This is an interactive, live workshop – not a lecture.
You’ll participate in:
- Identity audit exercises
- Crafting your own practice-based identity statement
- Group discussion and breakout sessions (all participation is optional and can be done via chat)
- Public claiming exercise
- 15 minutes of open Q&A for your specific questions
This workshop is for you if:
✓ You qualify your creative identity with words like “aspiring” or “trying to be”
✓ You’re waiting for external validation before calling yourself a writer or artist
✓ Comparison to other creatives leaves you feeling inadequate or stuck
✓ You want to build sustainable creative practice from a foundation of identity
✓ You’re ready to stop waiting and start claiming who you already are
Limited spaces available
To keep this workshop intimate and allow time for everyone’s questions, spaces are limited.
You are already a creative
Not because of what you’ve achieved.
Not because someone gave you permission.
But because of who you are and what you practice.
This workshop will help you believe that – and live from that belief.
All participants receive a resource sheet with identity-strengthening practices to continue the work beyond the workshop.
