The Club Cohort begins in:
Hey Creative! I'm Dr. Helane.
I'm here to help you create meaningful projects that access, integrate, and monetize your talents.
I came into the world as a creative writer who wanted to be a medical doctor. But that's been the story of my life.
I have always been a Creative Intellectual.
I did become a doctor (of stories): an English Professor who writes about the healing power of the sacred, community, and belonging.
But after I reached full rank, ready to sail into retirement, something else started nagging at me--brewing in me. I just wanted MORE--more freedom, more impact (more FUN).
So I fasted, I prayed...and I was reminded of a story.
>>The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14)
See, if I'm still here, then God still expects me to multiply my talents AND impact those I'm called to serve. I'm not DONE.
So, in my Second Season, I stepped out on another journey--into other gifts and projects that had been waiting for my attention.
That lead to writing, acting, directing, and helping others step out into their multiple creative and academic talents too--as entrepreneurs.
(And yes, I'm still a Professor.)
But now I'm building a VISION that integrates my gifts and talents into service AND a brand that I can be proud of...
because I believe we can be this AND that.
When I started this journey, I wanted clarity, direction, and momentum. I wanted to serve--and to monetize.
So I've been working hard, learning how to build a strategy for people like ME--the Creative Intellectual type.
You might be a Creative Intellectual if:
-You share your passion work publicly;
-You use your work to unpack and interpret the world;
-Your work is often interdisciplinary or multimodal;
-A lot of your best work is done in isolation.
Sound familiar?
Okay, so what does that mean for your brand and business strategy?
-Confidence in both our skills & our creative insight is KEY.
-Connecting within a like-minded community is essential.
-Strategically prioritizing multiple talents is challenging.
If all this resonates with you, then welcome in! YOU are my people. YOU are a Vision Builder too.
