How does OTOA CLP Life Coaching Differ from OTOA CLP Workshops ?

OTOA CLP Workshops are designed as study sessions within a group, and built upon OTOA CLP's  Six Aspects for Creative Influence. 

OTOA CLP Life Coaching brings deeper, individual attention to matters that may require a more comprehensive approach, and more personal and private attention. 

What is OTOA CLP 

Life Coaching?

OTOA CLP Private Coaching offer clients a private, safe confidential, and personal environment for addressing targeted issues no matter whether they are professional, personal, or creative.

OTOA CLP Private Coaching  is designed to offer clients a clearer sense of purpose and a path for bringing joy and fulfillment to all you do.

OTOA CLP Private Coaching is based upon the teachings and principles of OTOA CLP's Six Aspects of Creativity™.

OTOA CLP Private Coaching is a space and time dedicated to reassessing and revamping personal, professional or creative goals, uncovering untapped strengths, identifying and untangling issues that are undermining your path forward, articulating a personal work/life vision, establishing achievable goals, and fostering a creative life practice with exercises tailored to suit individual needs.

What can you expect from an OTOA CLP Private Coaching Session?

Clients can expect a comprehensive, non-judgemental, environment for self-learning and actualization. 

Clients are offered the tools and principles they need for building their life as a creative practice, and the principles for creating the practice of their life.

Clients engage in a dialogue designed to foster a healthy and cohesive sense of being.
