Transformation through coaching
Transformational coaching goes beyond achieving a list of goals; you grow to understand yourself better and develop new habits. This transformation takes time, dedication, and focused effort through a series of coaching sessions aligned to a topic.
Coaching offerings
I have several options listed and plan to develop more to support the needs of my clients. If you're interested in working with me, please get in touch!
I always start with a 30-minute discovery call to meet potential clients. This call is free and gives us time to discuss your interest in coaching and decide if we’re a good fit and what kind of coaching or support is appropriate.
If you're new to the coaching process, you can schedule a free 60-minute coaching session to get a better sense of how the process works before committing to ongoing sessions.
Overcome creative blocks by channeling your energy into purposeful growth.
The Creative Clarity coaching package helps clients address a specific concern and gain direction through six meetings. Each session is one hour long, meeting every other week. The entire package will span approximately three months.
Common themes and topics for sessions: identifying core challenges, cultivating confidence, building sustainable routines, and identifying tools and techniques for personalized growth. We'll review your progress and plan ahead.
Additional support provided:
- Audio recordings of sessions; it's powerful to hear yourself speak
- Transcript and summary notes of each session
- A shared online space for notes, recordings, and files
- Customized inspiration emails/messages between sessions to keep you motivated, tap into your creativity, and support reflection between meetings
A one-time 90 minute session to focus your thinking on a very specific, manageable facet of a project, conversation, or decision.
Before the meeting, I’ll send you a customized survey to prompt you to identify meaningful details to share with me before our meeting. After our meeting, you’ll receive an audio recording of the session and summary of high level insights and next steps.
Example topics for a Strategy Session:
- Prepare for an important conversation
- Devise a strategy to write your bio or ‘About me’ statement
- Outline an application for a grant, graduate school or employment
- Reflect and plan quarter/annual goals
Testimonials
Wendee is compassionate and empathetic, and has a desire to help people see things differently. And not in the typical, "Have you thought about it this way.” But, because of her background in art, which is a fundamentally different mode of thinking, feeling, and seeing, she can help people observe and reflect "reality" in unique ways beyond traditional coaching. Her palette draws on loss, living in multiple cultures, the value of listening with your eyes, and the value of thinking with different parts of your brain.
Hospital Chaplain, Consultant, Adjunct Professor
Wendee has been a guiding light, helping me untangle my thoughts and find a way forward in a time where I am questioning my career, creativity and my future. Through her support, I gained clarity on what motivates and moves me creatively, allowing me to pursue my small business with newfound energy. Our conversations have been invaluable, helping me navigate and plan for my future.
Impact Designer
Wendee helped me think about creativity differently at a time when I felt stuck. Wendee's own life as an artist informs her approach to coaching conversations. She understands the particular challenges that creative professionals encounter, and she is wise, patient, and supportive. She really listens, and she asks great questions.
Teaching and Scholarship Hub Director
I was worried about my upcoming graduation, and the pandemic brought up a lot of questions about the future of my profession. Wendee helped me to pursue things with intention, to realize that my path did not have to be linear.
Initially, I confused coaching for mentoring. However, I soon realized the distinct impact of Wendee's approach. Unlike mentorship, where advice is often prescriptive, Wendee's coaching empowered me to uncover my truths. She didn't just offer answers; she guided me to discover them myself. This was a revelation.
FAQs
Answers to commonly asked questions about my approach, coaching services, and pricing.
Coaching is a thinking partnership. It provides time for clients to think about their thoughts, habits, beliefs, and values, learn about themselves, and change patterns of thought and behavior. It's not just overcoming one challenge but experiencing growth to handle future challenges. And even though we work together, you are responsible for the focus of coaching.
I'm particularly drawn to collaborating with gentle creatives—introverts and highly sensitive people (HSP) who, like me, have vivid imaginations, rich inner lives, and a deep yearning for meaning. As a creative introvert (INFP), I understand the energy it takes to share ideas with others. I value creating conditions for conversations that energize me and gentle creatives like me.
Yes! If you resonate with what I've shared and are interested in making a change, please get in touch so we can determine whether we're a good fit, my extroverted friend.
Meetings are held online via Zoom. In-person meetings in Southern California's San Gabriel Valley area can be arranged.
Creating long-lasting changes in patterns of thinking and acting takes time. Multiple sessions help break down significant challenges and changes into manageable steps and reinforce growth
Coaching packages support creating and sustaining new habits or mindsets. My Creative Clarity coaching package includes six 60-minute meetings, meeting every 1 or 2 weeks. This process will take between 2-3 months.
Each meeting includes:
- Working together to identify a specific focus and goal for the meeting.

I’ll incorporate activities to help you organize your thoughts, either during the session or as preparation for a session around a topic we’ve identified ahead of time.
- Identifying the best path toward long-term progress, the next steps, and a plan to be accountable to yourself.
- Agreeing if and how you’d like me to check in with you between meetings.

I want my coaching to have the potential to transform the people I work with and the communities they serve.
I encourage each individual to honestly evaluate their financial and social resources. When I am paid fairly by those who can, I can offer equitable access to the work I do.
I am committed to supporting those who:
- Are working to create change as a person of the global majority, including (but not limited to) Black, Indigenous peoples, Latino/a, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders and their communities.
- Are or were first-generation students.
