Hi, kids! I'm Michelle Ward, C.P.C. As a graduate of NYU/Tisch's musical theater program & a certified life coach, my path to being a Career Coach for Creatives was clear - I pounded the pavement enough myself! With this blog, I plan on sharing my own experiences as a life coach/performer/entrepreneur, as well as the tips/tools/How To's I've picked up along the way. Stick around for a dose of empathy, a shot of butt-kickin', a wagon full of enthusiasm, & a crapload of inspiration.WHEN I GROW UP GOINGS-ON
