Summary of the Presentation by KC on Creativity and Mind Set Coaching
March 29, 2022, General Meeting Submitted by Eileen Phillips
Kirsten Clarkson, known as KC, spoke to us from her home on the Sunshine Coast. She is a motivator, actor, and coach. She has worked with people who wanted to change their life’s focus but didn’t know how to go about it e.g., teachers who wanted to become comedians, grocery clerks who wanted to become volce-over artists, overweight people who wanted to become thinner and fitter, bit-part actors who wanted to become stars, people suffering from concussion who wanted to regain skills lost.
KC’s message to us was mainly about mind set. If you change your mind set you can change your outlook and the way you present yourself to others. It takes work and practise to do this. And, it takes guidance/coaching. Change can be Gentle or Radical or anywhere in between. Change can be about power and positively using power to find out what you want and how to get it. Feeling powerful can help us reinvent the way Retirement is done. Feeling powerful can help us be effective citizens who can achieve the social or societal changes we believe in.
KC also spoke about being older in age, saying that the world is open for older folk. We can do anything – it is like being in the ‘old west’. in fact, older actors are now being sought out for roles like never before, as are ethnic groups and people with disabilities. KC believes that what we see (on the screen) becomes the norm. I find this to be an interesting thought, indeed.
KC invited those of us interested in joining a Mind Set coaching session to contact her at kc@kirstenclarkson. The cost is $79.97 a month and she is offering a free month to members of our association for her session beginning mid-April.
