Hey Creative! I'm Dr. Helane.
And I'm here for your story.
I came into the world as a writer who wanted to be a doctor. But that's been the story of my life.
I have always been a Creative Academic.
After earning my PhD, I got a job as an English Professor. (writer and doctor, check and check!)
Then, I turned 50 (Hello, Second Season!)
I was busy. I was better than ever.
But something was nagging at me--brewing in me.
So I fasted, I prayed...and I remembered why I'm here.
I'm here to help Creatives & Academics access, integrate, and monetize their talents.
See, if I'm still here, then God still expects me to multiply these gifts AND impact those I'm called to serve.
(Okay, Parable of the Talents!)
So, in my Second Season, I stepped out on another journey.
Now I'm writing, acting, directing, and helping others step out into their multiple creative and academic talents too--as entrepreneurs.
I'm building a VISION that integrates my gifts and talents into a brand I can be proud of...
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 personal brand & business strategy for people like ME--the Creative Academic type.
Actually, Creatives & Academics have A LOT in common:
-We share our passion work publicly (and it's subject to scrutiny);
-We use our work to unpack and interpret the world around us;
-Our work is often interdisciplinary and multimodal;
-A lot of our best work is done in isolation.
Sound familiar?
Okay, so what does that mean for a brand and business strategy?
-Confidence in our skills & our creative insight is key.
-Connecting within a like-minded community is essential.
-We work on several things at once & need to strategically prioritize.
If all this resonates with you, then welcome in! YOU are my people.
