Meet Mary McDowall
I love ideas! I love to generate and expand my own and to experience the excitement and joy in others as they do the same.
Why? Because ideas are part of the creative process. And I think life is a creative process. It can be easy to lose oneself in work or family responsibilities; to lose sight of the joy and creative expression within the seemingly mundane. When life becomes a creative project, it doesn’t necessarily become easier, but it can become more purposeful, more productive and definitely more enjoyable. As a Creative Strategy Coach, my goal is to assist others to find ways to effortlessly weave creativity into their work and play. To experience first hand the fringe benefits of creativity: greater productivity, expanded possibilities, idea generation and elevation, more energy and zest for life. |
While I have always considered myself creative, there have been periods in my life where deep depression and anxiety all but obliterated my creativity and love of life. Yet it was after one of these periods that I discovered Kaizen-Muse™ Creativity Coaching. This training changed the course of my life and my career. I experienced first hand the healing benefits of being in the creative process. I came to understand that my perfectionist tendencies were unhealthy and actually holding me back. Learning to release my unrealistic expectations freed me to explore and expand my creative expression, to take risks, to fail, to be perfectly imperfect.
The result, I became more productive, my energy level increased and I was happy again.
I’m now a proprietress of The Purple Ink Cafe, a Master Kaizen-Muse™ Creativity Coach, a Master Kaizen Creative™ NLP Practitioner, and Modern Day Muse Group Facilitator. I am a Co-founder of the KMI Master Mind™ Facilitator Certification Training and facilitate KMI Master Minds™ on various topics at The Purple Ink Cafe. In October I will begin taking clients for Ayurveda and Yoga Coaching.
