A semester of your creativity, just for you and your creative process. Get unstuck, overcome barriers, or finish (or start) a project.

The human brain can only hold seven pieces of information at one time. We need to Write. Everything. Down. I’ve created over 100 115 121+ exercises for myself and my students/clients.

The Creativity Intensive: How It Works

Timeline

  • Three months, starting on the 1st of a calendar month.

  • For example, if you signed up for a Creativity Intensive on Aug 20th, your ‘semester’ would be Sept 1-Nov 30. Your free bonus session or workshop would need to ge scheduled by the end of Dec, but could be anytime before the end of the following Feb (ie, 3mo after your semester ends).

  • After your Intensive, you’re welcome to continue for as long as you’d like, for 40% off the cost of an individual session. Sessions are 50 minutes, with a 5-10 scheduling and exercise wrap-up.

  • Email checkins Weekly (2-3x/weekly for single months) and one follow-up email one month later (kinda like another free month; I’ll give you homework assignments and everything!).

  • Cost $2160 for all six appts, the bi-weekly checkins, and the bonus session or worjshop.

  • Bonus session! Your seventh appointment (or workshop!) is free!

  • And here’s the amazing thing: The free session or workshop can be for you, a friend, a group session, your workplace, your nonprofit, Star Trek fan club, anywhere. Up to 12 people. Almost always over Zoom, but you’re absolutely welcome to come to Bainbridge Island, WA (where you’ll get a three-hour session or workshop; you made it this far, after all). I absolutely love my long-term clients, and this is a way to say thank you and spread the word about The Third Layer creativity process.

What you’ll get

  • How often do you have the opportunity to think about your creative process itself? We’ll create and even name your ‘semester’ of creativity coaching, and you’ll have 3-4 months to graduate into a different perspective. This is why I require a minimum of three appointments.

  • You’ll get very specific, detailed, and extremely personalized ways to get to know how your creative process best flourishes.

    These tools come from 120+ exercises I’ve created after 20+ years as a professional writer, with research into neuroscience, humor, trauma, play, social psychology, etc.

  • Our sessions are pretty great, but probably more than the magic happens between sessions when you have time to marinate. Make sure you have time to do these exercises and reflect on them. If you’re on a monthly coaching plan, you can check in every week with your insights, frustrations, barriers, and wins.

  • You’ll write your own Creativity Guidebook, a physical map to your creativity filled with your new tools and exercises. Bonus: Once you know the Third Layer methodology, you can create your own tools and exercises for whatever barriers or blocks come up for you in the future.

What folks say.

  • “Alex guided me through a simple yet profound exercise. It was basically an exercise to uncover my deepest truths about my life passions. Although simple to administer, it seems to be based in mathematics, neuroscience, and more, creating greater clarity and self-awareness with the goal of helping to realize my true passions. A profound experience in an easy and practical exercise – that’s genius!”

    — Bill Prinzivalli, MBA, CEO, Prinzivalli Consulting; 2021

  • “Alex is master facilitator. The topic is fantastic. She gave such a broad view and gave us the tools to dig further on our own. She went horizontal to allow us to go vertical. Genius!”

  • “What a day yesterday!!! Alex, I think you liberated me with the rewards exercise. This rewards system exercise dissolves the guilt and gives me permission [to relax in my own house], and somehow provides a structure around when I can reward myself. I keep thinking of rewards! Yay! I'll get around to the goals next ... :)”
