Absolutely loved this course and how clearly Michelle puts things and explains with real-life examples. Totally resonated with her :)
This course was exactly what I needed. I finally came to the lowest point in my career (of 2 years) where it was imperative for me to take action. I'm so grateful to Michelle, her spirit, her talent, and her passion for helping women live their fullest potential and ultimately finding happiness. I'm now on an exciting journey and a HUGE step closer to being happy, finding my dream career and getting to be the person who says, "I love my job." Thank you so much Michelle and CreativeLive!
Fantastic, wonderful course. There is SO much great information to take away from this course. I know myself so much more thoroughly than I did and I have actionable steps to take to put what I've learned into practice. I think I probably annoyed my husband by the number of times I said "Can I tell you what I learned about today?!"
I'd been eyeballing this class for a while. I needed some guidance. I needed to try and figure out my personal creative dream career possibilities. Michelle is very insightful, trained, skilled, and dedicated. I might even add gifted in helping others dig very deep to explore the possibilities of living a purposeful creative life. After this class, I'm proud to say that I'm currently exploring my possibilities. Possibilities I didn't even consider before this class. There are a couple of stipulations. The first is you'll have to do your part (workbook) and the second is you must be willing to listen to your coach. Thanks Michelle and thanks Creativelive!
This class really changed my life and started me on the path to being able to accept myself. Learning that I am a renaissance soul was eye opening. I now understand why I get bored quickly and always want to start another project (2 bins of unfinished projects). I also understand how to follow multiple passions - just not all at the same time. Michelle has found her dream job in helping others to find theirs. Besides, how can you not like someone who wants to know your favorite ice cream flavor?
Before taking Michelle's class I really was at a loss with all my skills and abilities seemingly not adding up to a new career. I couldn't make the puzzle pieces fit together! With Michelle's wonderful coaching throughout the course (I took three months to finish it!), I was able to put my puzzle pieces and discover my Dream Career! For the first time, I feel excited, hopeful and committed to creating my dream career- stepping outside of my comfort zone and taking baby steps every day. Truly motivating and amazeballs!
I watched part of this class live when it aired and was very intrigued. It aired again a while after and I watched more bits and pieces. A few months ago I purchased it because I realized I really needed to see the whole class. I have watched it through once and am in the process of going through it again in more detail. I feel like you learn something new about yourself every time you watch it. Michelle is a wonderful coach and put A LOT of time and effort into this course; which really shows throughout. I would recommend this course to anyone can't decide what they want to do with their professional lives.
I was a complete mess until I took this course and Michelle's subsequent course, Ditch Your Day Job. This course is about discovering your dream career and setting it in motion. The other course is about making this career happen as you effectively leave your day job. Her AMAZEBALL guidance and exercises, as well as the awesome contributions from her class, helped me clarify what my dream career is. I was elated when I discovered that my multi-passionate nature is normal and that I am a Renaissance Soul! Having so many wonderful interests can truly paralyze a person, and she miraculously worked me through this so that I could effectively put in motion my new career. This course is fun and powerful, so each segment should not be skipped. There are nuggets of "Ah Ha!" moments in each of them. Well done, and thank you, Michelle!!! (tears)
I purchased this course and made sure to finish it before 2015 started. It was so easy to go through the course and I made sure to be diligent in actually doing the activities and homework. I never knew there were other MULTI-PASSIONATE out there like me! I thought I was just a confused human being who needs to figure out her life! Haha! Michelle's energy and passion to help others are so eminent in the way she presents and guides us. I love the setting of Creative Live as well because I felt involved with the studio audience despite having to watch these sessions by myself. :) I learned so much about myself, about how I can incorporate my multiple interests into a unique ball of career perfectly molded for me, by me. All thanks to the help and wisdom of Michelle's experiences and talents. What a great end of 2014 and a great way to start 2015! THIS COURSE IS WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY. :)
This class was sooo incredibly fun and inspiring. It was wonderful to meet Michelle and interact with her in person. She is warm, kind, approachable and genuinely passionate about helping creatives find a career they can love. Having been raised to believe that the only route to a secure retirement was to find a job with a pension or, at least, a good 401k, this class gave me the courage to believe that I could do work I love and still finance a fabulous life in retirement. It also put things in perspective because it helped me to see that I deserve to be happy as much as anyone else who has carved a successful niche for themselves doing work they feel good about. And, it reminded me that if I try something and discover it isn't the right fit, the worse that can happen is that I go find that job with a pension at that point. So what? Why not me? Amen! xoxo, Jen
Apart from a couple of new words (amazeballs etc.) I learned a lot from this course. Michelle makes my struggle to find "the perfect career path" feel like a game. I actually had a lot of fun and came up with some amazing result. This course is totally worth it!
Michelle is a such a great instructor! I looked forward to her class everyday. She provided so many wonderful activities to get the audience thinking and carried it out with wonderful enthusiasm. I would take another of Michelle's classes in a heartbeat!
I came in late on the first day of the course, and despite having missed several hours worth, I jumped right in. Later that evening as I was catching the replay to find out what I'd missed, I tweeted Michelle & told her that I was feeling like I should change my domain name. I was going by "my name dot com" and it just didn't seem like it was sticking with the creatives I want to work with. By the middle of the 3rd day, she had us working on our elevator speeches. She'd been talking about her favorite businesses are the unique ones, the quirky ones, the kinda weird ones. They stick with you! So, inspired to make even my website name be a full expression of what I am, and what I offer, I through out a test elevator speech into the comments. I was lucky enough to be picked by one of the hosts, and I got immediate feedback from Michelle (who remembered our Twitter conversation from a few days before!). I'm now the proud owner of a new, fun, quirky website name. If you're wanting to make your business more fun, you totally need to check out her course!
My dad used to tell me, "You don't get to do what you love. You just learn to love what you do." For years and years, I've been wandering from job to job wondering why I just wasn't feeling the love, no matter how much I learned to be good at what I do. Although, I tried to resign myself to the idea that work would always be something to dread day in and day out, I couldn't help but day dream about the elusive "perfect" job! I searched for years for tests or counselors who could help give me some direction as to what I would be good at and just before I lost hope, I found this class. I snuck it in during work on my cellphone (shh don't tell lol) and was running back to my desk when I had to be pulled away. It's nice to know someone understands what I've been going through and Michelle's energy is just so positive and motivating that I know that I can make things happen! I watched the free live broadcast but even before the end of day 1 I knew this class was a resource I'll gladly pay for! I would and have recommended this class to many people I know feel the same way I do! Changed my life! We're not made to fit into a mold so why not create your dream career! My review in one word? Amazeballs!
I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this class with Michelle. Her enthusiastic, kind personality really shines through each of the lessons. I was skeptical about how much I would learn and change during just 3 days, but I was amazed. There is no way I would be heading in my current direction without this class! The best thing is, everything these exercises lead me to was authentic to my skills and personality. Oh yeah, and it was crazy fun! I feel like I'm finally filling my work day with things that excite me. I highly recommend this course!
Fantastic course. I had actually already left my job to find what I really want to do when I watched this course. I had been getting distracted very easily and so much time had been passing. Michelle's course put me back on track into guiding me towards my goals. Her course curriculum is actually broken down into a very logical way, but she's so energetic and fun you don't feel like you're in this boring classroom setting. And she gives little homeworks/assignments that really help you stay in the state of mind that you need to be in to pursue your career goals. For me that really helps since I'm the type of person that will do things for others and put off things that I like to do for myself or know I need for myself (can you say people-pleaser?! Lol.) So I put my trust into doing all the little homeworks and exercises and I really feel progress happening. I still don't know where I'll be in the coming months, but I'm optimistic about it. Thank you Michelle!
This 3 day course changed my entire outlook on life! Michelle really knows how to communicate to the multipassionate who are having troubles with figuring out their own dream careers because she's really been there. I use to be a Debbie Downer, but no more! She taught me it was okay to have multiple passions and gave ideas on how to work with that as a positive. Out of all the classes on CreativeLive, this was worth paying for the MOST!
Love love loved this course soooooooooooooo much! Michelle Ward is truly inspiring, best course I've ever taken through Creative Live! I would highly recommend purchasing this course if you're thinking about it. Michelle's knowledge and enthusiasm are contagious! :)
Michelle is such an amazing person, the class really opened my eyes to the possibilities of having the career of my dreams, and being able to truly love what I do every single day. I am excited to start the journey of living my dreams with the tools she provided and the inspiration she instilled!
End of day one, and I am completely inspired! Michelle Ward is completely bubbly, knowledgable, and encouraging. The goal of this class is to identify passions (and subsequently a career path) that will fit your lifestyle - a concept that is new and exciting (and scarrrrry, which she also acknowledges). Looking forward to days 2 and 3!
