Case Study : Susanne
“What is your first memory of being creative?”
I often ask this question to reveal clients’ creative stories, to get a sense of their beliefs about creativity and how those beliefs might be impacting their current situation.
Susanne pauses and stares upward, searching.
“I guess in a way, it was dancing as a little girl, but because I [attach] that so much to my work...” she trails off.
Susanne came to me at a threshold in her career. She’d already made several significant transitions in her life: she’d been a professional dancer, a massage therapist, and a choreographer with her own company. Then she became a mother and moved to the countryside. Most recently, she returned to the city with her family and began a freelance choreographer career. Now, she was at a crossroads once again, attempting to determine her best path forward.
