Linda has drawn from years of experience as an artist, teacher and consultant to curate a magnificent program, guiding us to a fuller expression.

Linda draws from a deep resevoir of wisdom, including neuro-science, postivie psychology, emotional intelligence, archetypes, appreciative inquiry and more. And yet, the flow makes the depth accesable rather than burdensome.

I am in the early stages of the program and feeling energized to tap my inner creativity. I admit to a phobia when it comes to graphic arts. I rushed out and bought my first ever accrylic paint set and sketch book. My phobia stems from a deep seated belief that I am not artistic. Linda, and the community she attracks create a safe environment to play with, and challenge those assumptions. Ready or not, here I come.
Thank you to Linda and my fellow creatives!

I really encourage you to explore the Creative Resilience course. It has a wonderful depth of approaches and tools, and is presented with deep care and thought. For artists and managers, it's worth working on this with your team or in pairs as sharing the experiences as I did deepens the learnings.
Highly recommended , and thank you!

There is a lot to learn in this one! I recommend it. I found the information was presented better than average. The videos progressed at a good pace.

Linda Naiman shared many powerful insights and practices from an wide array of disciplines, and she has woven them into a very powerful framework. I do not see how anyone can complete this course without becoming more resilient. I am well versed in self-improvement and I was already using a number of the protocols, but I still found a good number of new perspectives and practices to expand my resilience. Thumbs up!
