For mid-career creatives who want to make a big change so they can have more freedom, confidence, creative autonomy, and self-growth.
i built mine differently too
Hi, I’m Marc Scheff. Certified coach for mid-career creatives.
I get what it’s like to feel unsatisfied with where I’m heading, even when others saw me as successful. I also get the guilt of working too much, not enough, never at the right speed. And I’ve gotten myself out of those stuck places.
I know what it takes to make a transition.
I’ve created a new path for myself 4 different times. Each one felt like I was giving up on something I built, and each one opened new doors. These reinventions became a methodology.
Most coaches give you tactics. We do that, sure, but that’s only part of it. With me, you’ll see what is driving your ambition, what’s actually in the way, and what you’re already capable of that you can’t see yet.
Does this sound familiar?
One of my clients told me, "I know what I want to build, but I'm throwing spaghetti at the wall and don't even know how to tell if it's sticking.”
You want to know that you’re not wasting time, right? You want to know where you are on the map, how long it will take, and that where you’re putting your energy WILL lead to getting what you want.
Look, the endless tips, how-tos, and courses are good! They’re just not enough because more choices on how to do something doesn’t help narrow things down on how to do YOUR thing.
Yes, experimentation is important. But when you don’t move past that “throwing spaghetti” phase, it can lead to frustration or burnout.
Here's what CAN change for you
1-1 coaching can change that
You feel clear.
You won't be omniscient. There will still be unknowns! They just won't stop you anymore.
When you know exactly how you make progress and what drives you then you'll feel firmly planted, even if the ground is shifting.
You stop guessing.
You worry less and feel more confident. You know how you make your best decisions and rely on that process. You take action because you know how you handle the unexpected. And you... breathe easier. Your big bet will be a breath of fresh air.
Here's what CAN change for you
You get clear.
You know what success looks like for you.
You know which spaghetti is sticking.
and that going solo will be messy but worth it.
Create.
Destroy.
Emerge.
When this clicks, you can talk about your work without flinching. You know what you’re building and why. You show up differently because the work is finally yours.
(Oh, and by the way, the spaghetti-throwing client? She hit her six-month goal in our first session.)
