About Self-Starting
Self-Starting a project is a wonderful way to create a challenge for your own growth—your expansion. It gives you the opportunity to build confidence and define your unique style of artistry and leadership.
Self-Starting an idea you’re passionate about brings you to the self-knowledge you can make a difference in your own life and the life of others around you.
When embarking on a Self-Starting adventure, it is important to equip yourself with skills and support.The Self-Starting course provides an environment to nurture your creative spirit and honor your unique way of bringing an idea into manifestation.
The Self-Starting course often includes Mindmapping, meditation, goal setting, financial literacy training, proposal writing, project presentation, and individual coaching from me.
Self-Starting workshops and meeting groups are also designed to build a network giving you the opportunity to gather the support you need to develop your ideas. With the support of other Self-Starters, you can learn and grow quite readily and quickly.I have found there is always another Self-Starter willing to share their experiences and resources to assist a fellow Self-Starter to the next step.
The origins of the Self-Starting Course
I attended the United Nations World Conference On Women in Beijing, China in 1995.I shared with a University of California, Irvine (UCI) colleague how preparing and attending this conference was a profound experience.It changed how I saw my creativity and the creativity of other human beings, forever.
Together with this colleague and the Chairman of the Drama Department at UCI, we decided I should share my newfound insights and experiences since attending the United Nations Conference.
Through a Guest Lecturer position, I taught students how I organized, fundraised and built a sense of community with other artists.
I passed on these realizations:
You never need to wait again for permission to give voice to your creativity.
It is important to develop skills to honor this voice.
You never have to build an idea or project alone.
You can go ahead and bring your own ideas to light and produce them, whatever they are!”
It has been a decade and I have developed the Self-Starting course at UCI and it is now begging to be brought out further into the world!
