Coaching & Dream Building

for Creatives, Solopreneurs, or Anyone Feeling Stuck

It’s easy to dream. It’s not easy to make those dreams happen by yourself.

You’re following a dream because you want to do what you love, and you want to do something with purpose.

 

Christopher Swan Can Help You Realize Your Dream

 

This isn’t a get rich quick business. You want to use the things that make you unique combined with the dream and ideas you’re passionate about, and to create a life you love.

 

AND you’d like to find a way to make positive impacts in the world, just by doing what you love. We’re not talking about creating a nonprofit. But rather, finding ways to live your values out loud, changing the world for the better.

 

Because you’re building a life that’s meaningful.

 

But maybe you don’t understand how to put your dream into action. Or, you’re in the middle of following your dream and now you need to pivot. Or, you’re just at the beginning of an idea or a big leap, and you’re not sure how to get started or what comes next.

 

That’s when you need a different perspective and experienced support. And that’s how I can help you put it all together.

WHY WORK WITH ME

  • I GET YOU. I’ve followed my dream too—starting a business and idea from the beginning. You’ll be working with someone who understands your struggle, that feeling of being overwhelmed, short on time, and not sure how to find your perfect audience.
  • BIG PICTURE & SMALL DETAILS. You’ll receive support planning the big picture and dreaming it up, with smart, practical knowledge, like graphic design, web building, and social media marketing. Knowing how the small things work behind-the-scenes makes a big difference in actualizing a strategy and prioritizing.
  • YOU GET BIG BRAND EXPERIENCES, TOO. We’ll adapt my 15+ years of corporate communications experience at Fortune 500 organizations, including The Walt Disney Company, to power your ideas and approach.
  • PURPOSE AND INTENTION MATTERS. Everything we do together will be focused with your true purpose, and will be applied with intention. That means, you will feel proud of your work and life–and the dream your building.
  • COMMUNITY OF DREAMERS AND DOERS. You’ll be in good company. Over 70 dreamers have shared their stories and advice with me, and we’ll make sure you can borrow and adapt the best parts. We’ll also tap into my community of dreamers and change makers on Instagram and my Facebook community to find additional help and ideas when you need it.

  • "Christopher has been my go-to thought partner to think about my cake business differently. I have big goals, and I know I can reach them. It’s the how I’ll get there; that’s the mystery. Christopher has coached me through the overwhelming options I could take that made the most sense for me and my business. He’s connecting the dots between the ideas and work I need to do, with the dream I’m building. Also, every time we connect, I’m more excited and motivated to tackle it all, and I know it’ll happen."

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON TOGETHER

  • We’ll conquer that overwhelmed feeling by prioritizing your work based on goals, and get you started with a real plan.
  • Tap into what makes you different (e.g., your unique perspectives, talents, traits, and most importantly, your purpose), to make your business or social program uniquely different, and very you.
  • Let’s define your audience: the best participants, fans, and customers and why they’re the best fit for you.
  • Get started podcasting or live streaming like a pro, to build a community and a unique brand.
  • Partner with you to think through and develop creative products and marketing ideas.

  • "Let’s take a DeLorean back to 2011 when I first met Christopher. I was just graduating from my MBA program and faced with several options. Would I continue my education and pursue another advanced degree, would I get a job, if I did, what field should I choose? I’d say my head was swimming, but drowning would be more accurate. Christopher took the painstaking time to break it all down with me and helped put things into perspective. As a result, I stopped caring about the burdensome expectations I had placed on myself and those I allowed to be placed upon me. Ultimately, he helped put me on the path to find my best self. I’m still on that journey, but whenever I get overwhelmed, I think WWCD--What Would Christopher Do? Today, I’m the head of strategy and innovation for the world’s largest experiential marketing agency. It’s a dream job. And had it not been for Christopher’s insightful counsel, who knows if that would have still been the case. What really sets Christopher’s approach apart from others is his authenticity. He took a genuine interest in helping me do the hard work that needed to get done in order to set the stage for the successes that came and for that I’ll forever be grateful."

    Ryan Dee | Creative Director (Marketing)

  • "Christopher understands my business and gets what I dream about doing. I just didn’t know how to get to that next step. I tend to get side tracked by things that don’t matter. That doesn't phase Christopher at all. He has guided me through the confusing business world, really simplifying it for me – and he’s great at getting my focus back to where it needs to be. He even reminds me of what I originally told him to help ground me. And he’s not just force feeding me ideas that aren’t relevant. These are things I care about, some that I don't always see. I can't recommend Christopher highly enough."
