You’ve never had to compete so hard for your own attention. It’s one of your most powerful resources, completely central to your experience of life, and everyone wants a piece.

This very moment you’re giving at least a little of it to these words, so here’s the crux:

we don’t want your attention. At least not for ourselves. We want it on you. We want you to give it to the projects, goals and ideas that are important to you. We want your success.

This is the whole point of coaching at Creative State. Harnessing attention to move things from stagnant and stuck to fresh and flowing. Feeling bit of creative block? Get the spotlight on it. Attention is the antidote.

Consider what might become possible for you if you committed to spending some deliberate, focused time on what’s really important to you. You enter a space where your intuition gets to be the loudest voice in the room, things shift and warp weirdly fast. You get to experience the movement you’ve been craving. You finally create the change you’ve been picturing for years.

You’ve tried pushing harder. You’ve tried putting things off until life calms down. You’ve considered taking the passing advice of that mentor figure and up-skilling in the niche you have no real interest in, to please a theoretical employer or client. You already know it’s not the way.

That’s why the ideas and frustrations are still doing laps in your mind, and it’s why you won’t find advice in these sessions, either the passing kind or the well-considered. This kind of support is designed to tune you into yourself and strengthen the signal, we won’t tell you what to do.

When you take time to listen to yourself, feel your energy reflected back with care and curiosity, and have the judgements and ‘shoulds’ challenged so that you can see things clearly, change simply follows naturally.

What change are you picturing? I’d bet it’s worth more to you than 90 minutes of focus.

Let the thing you’ve been wrestling with melt into clarity. Let us give it 90 minutes of oxygen. See what happens next.

Santini Basra Studio Director

I'm a mid-career founder/director of an innovation agency, a parent of three, juggling lots of parts of my personal and professional life. I was finding myself increasingly busy and tied up with work that wasn't really the stuff I was good at or that wanted to do (e.g. managing other people). I didn't have the space to step back and be intentional about what I wanted to spend my time/energy on.

The coaching session felt like therapy, but for work. I think that I expected to receive (possibly quite generic) advice, but I actually just got a space that helped me bring together a few of my own strands of thinking and make sense of them. I think that the session was one of a few key moments that helped me develop a point of view on what barriers I was facing and how to address them.

Not long after I had to restructure my team. While this was a tricky period, I ended up using it as an opportunity to rethink the business, using some of the conversations I'd had in the session to help design a new business structure that would support me to spend more time on what I wanted. I ultimately flipped the resourcing model of our team, bringing in only senior staff who didn't need managing, and outsourcing everything else. This freed me up a great deal to roll up my sleeves and get back into the on-the-ground project work that I really enjoy. More recently, I've also started to apply a similar line of thinking across life, being much more intentional about how I spend time and energy.
