What People

SAY

“ I think the ultimate canvas for creativity is your life. You have one life. The test helped me paint a very clear picture of the conflicts in my life. I learned I was putting more restrictions on myself than I realized.

I was not pushing rules in my creativity."

Deb Galant

Painter, Novelist, Podcaster, Former NYT columnist

I did all these assessments and I do not think I would have finished the first draft of my book without finding these things out about my process.

 

For me, it just gave me an insight into my process that I don't think I would have come upon myself at all.

 

And I would have done my usual habit, which is, get very enthusiastic, and then put it aside when I get to my roadblock and say:

 

"I'll get to that later."

Kathy Butterfield

Memoirist, Teacher

Something shifted when we went through the evaluation. I came away with a different appreciation for my strengths and a better understanding of my weaknesses and how to approach projects differently.
