Let’s talk about what’s next.

Think Smith is creative coaching, mentorship, and professional development for people working in creative industries. Through 1-on-1 coaching, group coaching, workshops, and resources, I help creatives build confidence, sharpen their thinking, communicate ideas more effectively, and navigate the realities of modern creative work.

Think Smith works with people across the entire creative spectrum: designers, writers, creative directors, freelancers, in-house creatives, agency teams, students, and educators. It’s for anyone doing creative work who feels stuck, burned out, uncertain, or ready to grow.

Business coaching often focuses on metrics, scaling, and revenue. Creative coaching at Think Smith focuses on the person behind the work. I look at how you think, how you communicate, and how you navigate the unique pressures of the creative industry. It’s about building the clarity, confidence, and leadership skills needed to produce your best work and sustain a fulfilling creative career.

Everything from burnout, imposter syndrome, and creative blocks to leadership challenges, career direction, communication issues, portfolio feedback, presenting ideas, and navigating an AI-driven industry. Sometimes people don’t even know exactly what’s wrong yet — they just know something feels off creatively.

No. Think Smith is not therapy or clinical counselling. This is coaching and mentorship rooted in creative work, honest conversation, and professional growth.

I’m not teaching productivity hacks or one-size-fits-all solutions. Think Smith is all about the why, not the how. I’ve spent more than 30 years working in the creative industry — building brands, leading teams, running agencies, teaching, mentoring, and navigating the same pressures many creatives face today. Think Smith is grounded in real creative experience, not generic business advice.

Think Smith currently offers 1-on-1 coaching, Think Tank group coaching, workshops for teams and organizations, speaking engagements, books, and creative mentorship resources.

Yes. In addition to individual and group coaching, I work directly with agencies, organizations, and in-house creative teams to improve communication, collaboration, leadership, and creative thinking. Workshops can be tailored to the specific challenges your team is facing.

Absolutely. The creative industry is changing fast, but originality, communication, strategic thinking, and human perspective still matter deeply. Think Smith helps creatives strengthen the skills AI can’t replace.

It starts with a conversation. You can book a complimentary discovery call by clicking the button below.
