About Coleen Chandler, PCC, CPCC
I have been a Creativity and High Performance coach for over 15 years. My passion is to inspire you and guide you to build a thriving business or career, and to find personal fulfillment by embracing a success and creativity mindset.
I am also a mentor coach, workshop leader, business consultant and performing singer-songwriter.
Multifaceted in my approach, I coach the whole person, the full BEING, to help you balance your professional, creative and personal life. Work and life work in tandem to create harmony.
Be it with a team or an individual, my pragmatic, dynamic and fun coaching style is inspired by my unshakable belief that we all have untapped creative resources and talents ready to be fully lived and shared – no matter where we are in our creative journey. At times, we need directions and guidance to draw them out and make sense of our work and personal lives. My joy is to accompany you in this discovery.
I have been a student of high performance and creativity for years. An artist, entrepreneur and performer myself, I understand intimately the creative process and the roller-coaster ride associated with this lifestyle. I have been where you are today and have successfully gone through two major career transitions, from being a professional musician to banking (don’t ask!) to my current favorite job, coaching, and I reclaimed my artistic self in the process. It’s been quite the journey.
Why do the letters after my name matter? Training in the profession of coaching is very important to make sure you get quality coaching. I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation (ICF) and a Certified Professional Co-active Coach (CPCC) through the acclaimed Coaches Training Institute (CTI) – two of the most respected coaching certifications in the world. I continue to learn every day to give you the best possible value.
I care and believe in the power of coaching so much that I have dedicated the past five years to ICF and my local Northern California chapter. I currently serve as the Director at Large and Credentialing Officer on the board of the Sacramento Charter Chapter of the International Coach Federation. I am also its former president.
Grow your wings and soar!
My mission
No Creative Left Behind
Together, we will lift you to a place of clarity, creativity, confidence, productivity and serenity. It’s your time to thrive. You already have everything you need within you to move past the barriers that are holding you back.
The missing piece may be to partner with a coach, a guide, a cheerleader, a knowledgeable business consultant, a trained professional, a creative who’s been where you are and gets you.
When you work with me, you’ll be partnering with all the above.
Come on board. Give yourself the gift of coaching and come experience first hand what this fun and worthwhile adventure is about.
Remember: No Creative Left Behind!
Why do we avoid the very things we love most?
This question and its variation go to the heart of who we are as artists and creative entrepreneurs, and how we see our creativity and its role in our lives and society at large. I had to answer that question myself and I understand the angst behind it.
Creatives have so many profound and difficult questions to answer. It’s not easy to do it alone. That’s why I became a creativity coach.
I would love to hear from you!
