Film Courage: Why would an artist need a coach?
Artist, Writer, and Board Certified Coach for Artists & Creatives, Sasha Patpatia: I think every person, but especially in artistry where you’re trying to express something to connect with an audience, it comes from a deep knowing and understanding of yourself and your voice. It comes from a foundation of what you value, what you love and what you trust. I think that when we connect to art, whatever form that is in, we’re connecting to the expression of that. Whether it’s in a painting or at a rock show or even in a movie. When you partner with a coach, an excellent coach, someone who is guiding you toward your answers, not someone who’s giving you the answers or telling you what path to walk, someone who’s bringing you within and helping you build that strong internal foundation, you take that everywhere you go, especially on the creative path, there is no one path.
The creative path is the process of us consistently and continually finding ourselves and integrating that into who we are and how we want to express that. I think artists need (I don’t think they just have the option to) I believe that every artist needs to at some point find the kind of partnership whether it’s through coaching or otherwise that brings them back into themselves, back grounding to their purpose of What am I here to do? Because they’re gifted, we’re gifted with the ability to create or the vision that we have for a creation or piece of art, a piece of work and to almost have the skill to clear that channel and move almost your humanness out of the way, to let that message come through you is essential.
In a healthy coaching partnership we can create that space. That’s what I mean when I say Coming home to yourself is creating that space and having that clearing to be able to access what that message is, what that gift is and to express it.
Film Courage: What if someone has too much pride to seek out a coach?
Sasha: That’s real, that’s just the path they’re on…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).
About:
Sasha Patpatia is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and board certified coach for artists & creatives. She loves to be around and support the growth of talent, professionalism and people creating beauty for this world. Growing up as a musician, Sasha closely documented her local music scene colleagues through creative writing which led to her first professional opportunity as a freelance music journalist while in College. Upon graduation she segued into artist marketing and national sales roles within independent outfits and major labels in Los Angeles. Drawn to the mysterious and visionary minds of high achieving artists, she worked alongside an elite team of A-list film composers, managing day-to-day business affairs and assembling talented teams of musicians and producers. In working closely with commercially established creatives, she saw that there is a clear discernment between how commercially successful work and personally meaningful work are not always in alignment. With a mission to participate in the arts community in a radically different way than the status quo, Sasha discovered the skill of Coaching and became professionally trained and certified in this new field. Through coaching, Sasha is able to partner with artists and other inspired souls to support them in taking their art and business to the next level. Sasha’s coaching and consulting agency, True Vision Studios, offers bespoke partnership opportunities that enable individuals and creative teams to move past confusion or fear, and into bold, uninhibited productivity. Sasha believes that creative suffering inhibits creativity and produces more angst than art. It takes an immense amount of courage, collaborative support, and the audacity to respect & follow one’s own ideas to realize true creative achievement.
