#206 - Supporting Creativity Within Yourself and Others with Earlene Coats

Life, Camera, Action!

Today my guest Earlene and I will be discussing the whole idea of supporting the trait of creativity within yourself and others. This conversation is especially for you if you work with a team of creatives or you’re a parent who is raising a creative child.

Earlene Coats is the Founder and President of Everyday University. As someone who went from failing scribble art in kindergarten to becoming a now extremely successful entrepreneur, she knows exactly what it’s like to have your dreams squashed AND what it’s like to achieve them anyway. Today she helps busy moms go from chaos to confidence so that they can raise independent, confident children while creating an unbreakable family bond.

• Remember: Your version of creativity won’t always look like the person next to you. It also might be fueled differently. For example, you might need a more traditional education or you might need an alternative education. Either way, search for what best serves you and don’t feel the need to compare yourself to others.
• Research: Who were the characters in your life that supported your creativity? Who were the ones that didn’t? Explore how that affected you and your career today. Then take notice of the possible roles you’re playing within the lives of the creatives around you.
• Challenge: Practice speaking life into the creatives around you. This doesn’t mean you need to lie about liking something that you don’t. Be honest and be constructive! Your goal is to challenge someone to be even better, not discourage them from their dreams.
