JODI PALONI
"Creativity takes courage."(Henri Matisse)
Courage: from the French word coeur, meaning heart.
In 2008, I took a chance and made the life-altering choice to transition from a 25-year career teaching young people and teachers-in-training to pursue a creative life with flexibility and independence.
I earned an MFA , studied fiction, poetry, and art, won prizes, published a book, and started a new career as a freelance writer, editor, and ICF and Gestalt (GISC) certified creativity coach, committed to co-designed and client-led collaborations.
I teach practical craft skills and offer manuscript services using an open approach. Clients decide how tough or how tender they want their feedback. For manuscript services, click here.
The best part of my job is talking with writers and artists about their passion and vision, as well as, their stuck places. We begin with what shows up first and we mine the depths from there. For coaching services, click here.
