I ask my guests “what does the word creativity mean to you?”. We talk about creative expression and creative thinking, and how those show up in business.
In this episode, I talk to Emma Cossey, who is a coach for freelancers.
We talk about the link between freelancing and creativity, the benefit of resting our brains, ways to work with ADHD as a freelancer, and how she managed to get herself through the boring bits and finish writing her book about freelancing.
About me
I’m Nina Lenton, and I’m an “untangler” and coach, working with founders and freelancers who have a lot of ideas but aren’t making progress on the ones that matter to them.
