Cultivate Your Weirdness

Coaching current and future leaders, brand builders and multipotentialites to recapture playfulness, unlock authenticity and help their creativity burn bright, not burn out.Follow me on LinkedIn to watch me be weird in the wild!Does this sound like you?● “Tell me about yourself,” makes you wonder, “where do I even start?”
● You have a wild and active imagination, a love of learning, and way too many interests to follow a singular and linear path in life.
● You’re a compassionate leader. You care deeply about people and the planet and have big ideas for bringing about meaningful change.But others have made you feel less than just for being yourself. They make you feel like you’re unfocused. Your dreams are too ridiculous. Like you’re “too weird” or “too much”.● This has caused you to hide parts of yourself away. You make up narratives that don’t feel like you. You feel inauthentic.
● You struggle to manage your energy, time, and money because you’re doing too many things that don’t bring you joy.
● You have little support in bringing about organizational change, and it’s depleting you.
● You constantly compare yourself to people who’ve had a singular path, a singular focus, a singular hobby. You try to be like them. It’s exhausting.But you have to realize, you’re not the problem. You don’t have to change your brilliant, creative brain.I’m Cee, and like you, I see a world where creatives can thrive and make the impact we were meant to. Let’s change the world together.I offer both individual coaching customized for your unique challenges and goals, as well as groups to help you make big, scary changes surrounded by supportive community doing the same thing. I also have a free self-paced email course coming soon. Join my newsletter to be the first to know when it's released!

👋🏻About Me

Hi! I'm Cee (she/her).I understand what it feels like to be a multipotentialite because I live that life, and I love it. My diverse career as an award-winning design generalist includes creating national certifying curriculum for the rental industry, exhibiting a VR app at the Smithsonian, and serving as an interpreter for the president of a global auto manufacturer.That’s not all. I've led a 500-member bowling league, became a published author at age 7, was a word away from entering the National Spelling Bee (twice!), and learned A1-level Russian over a weekend just for fun (I can say simple sentences like Я люблю слушать музыку).My undergraduate degree was in Asian Studies, Linguistics, and Music Industry, specialties my friends joked converged around my being a music producer for a Japanese band (which I actually was back in those days!).I didn’t always feel good about my multipotentialite self. I thought my "weirdness" was a disadvantage. That my non-linear path was wrong. But I’ve come to realize that my diverse experience sets me apart. It’s what’s enabled me to have all these amazing skills and ideas that help me bring joy and innovation to the workplace and to my own life.Get to know me and my coaching style by booking a call or signing up for my newsletter

💖About Coaching

I'm here as your supporter, friend and guide to make some important and likely scary changes in your life. Here are some philosophies I operate under as a coach.1. Coaching centers you and you are always in the driver's seat. You will never have to do anything you are uncomfortable with or not yet ready for.2. That said, you are fully responsible for your own transformation. I cannot guarantee results. The price of Cultivate Your Weirdness coaching includes my time, my experience and expertise, and my support. You must be fully committed to showing up for yourself and doing the work. I cannot refund your money if you don't see results, but more importantly, you cannot refund the time you invested in trying to change halfheartedly either.If this sounds too hustly and scary, please rest assured that my approach is gentle and designed for folks with complicating life things (family care responsibilities, health challenges, unexpected setbacks, systemic oppression, trying to survive in a capitalistic hellscape, etc.). We will find a realistic way for you to take manageable action steps toward your goals!3. Coaching is forward-thinking life and career strategy. It is not therapy. While I commit to fostering a trauma-informed, courageous space for everyone, I am not a licensed therapist. If you are experiencing mental health challenges that interfere with your day-to-day life, please seek support from a licensed professional, and if you are in crisis, please call or text 988 (in the US) or your country's crisis number.4. If you are not feeling fully present and capable of benefiting from a scheduled 1:1 coaching session, please kindly reach out to me to reschedule at no cost up until midnight your local time the day of your session. I would rather us both be able to be fully engaged for the session.Learn more about current group and individual offerings, or Play Well coaching for teams.

🪁Play Well - Wellness Coaching for Teams

Does any of this sound familiar?You lead or belong to a small, remote team that's been feeling increasingly frustrated and burned out. Fear and scarcity pervade in a widespread landscape of layoffs - maybe even ones that have impacted your company or team. Desperately-needed conversations around mental health just aren't happening, or worse, management is paying lip-service to it but not backing it up through their policies. This cultural cognitive dissonance is causing a lack of authentic connections between teammates and hindering collaboration, and ultimately the efficiency and effectiveness of work produced.Maybe you should talk to someone.Actually, maybe you should play with someone.Recapture a sense of playfulness and embrace play as resistance with Play Well, a different kind of wellness program.Play Well combines practical and impactful burnout and stress management training with gamified engagement experiences to help teams improve cooperation, collaboration, and most importantly, genuine connection.By establishing a safe space for team members to play and work out challenges away from management's prying eyes and ears, teams can meaningfully identify and address pain points and blockers toward a more effective workflow, product improvements, and happier customers.Play Well is available in the following formats and works best with remote teams of 15 members or less:🕹Minigame - One-off, half-day session
🎮Playthrough - Six weekly sessions
🎲Campaign - Ongoing, customized program tailored to your company's unique needsLet the games begin! Book a call to learn more.Not ready yet? Sign up for my newsletter to receive updates about my other offerings.

🧠Diverge: Customized Neurodivergent Coaching

They say that life with a neurodivergent or "spicy" brain is playing the game of life on hard mode. I'd be happy to work with you on developing some cheat codes and game mods.I can work with you on any of the following:
- Accountability
- Adopting healthy habits
- Autistic burnout
- Building confidence
- Energy management
- Executive functioning
- Fear of being perceived/spotlight effect (because invisibility isn't a real superpower, but confidence is!)
- Gamifying your life (remember those cheat codes?)
- Internalized ableism
- Name dysphoria
- PDA (pathological demand avoidance or persistent drive for autonomy)
- Rejection sensitive dysphoria
- Supporting neurodivergent family members (partners, parents, kids, teens)

Tell me what's going on and we can tackle it together.Big, important disclaimer: I am a coach with lived experience with AuDHD - not a licensed psychologist. While I cannot and will not diagnose any conditions, you are welcome to participate in customized neurodivergent coaching if you are self-diagnosed, contemplating possible neurodivergence, or love and support a neurodivergent person and want to learn how to help them thrive.Book a call if you're ready to chat further.Not ready yet?

🎭UNMASK🌶 Authenticity Coaching

Discovering and embracing your neurodivergence can be exciting and freeing, but also overwhelming. For folks who have spent a lifetime masking, how do you know who you really are? How do you give yourself permission to be that person without being self-sabotaged by shame and people-pleasing?This is where the UNMASK process comes in. It's a structured coaching program that allows you to explore unmasking 1:1 at your own pace with me, or in a group over the course of 12 weeks (three months).UNMASK stands for:🤔Understand your needs: Identify the most important priorities to feel safe in your body and feel joy in your life. Examine forms of self-stimulation (stimming), sensory needs, and somatic healing techniques.🙅🏻Nope out! Begin to set boundaries to protect your well-being, starting small. Identify opportunities to remove sources of stress from your life when and where you can and find soothing and safe replacements (often just rest or unstructured time).🕺🏽Make time for joy: With shame-free curiosity, explore and discover the things that energize and heal you. Carve out and protect time and energy in your life for those things and adapt your obligatory energy drains around them.🚫Abolish limiting beliefs: By this point we will have touched upon limiting beliefs and exploring them without judgment, but you will not have been required to tackle them yet. Now, hopefully with some fuel back in your tank, start to do some of the inner work to banish these harmful beliefs and replace them with ones that build you up.💟Seek community support: (This step is built-in in the group program!) Find and build bonds with people who accept and embrace your authentic self. Prove to your wounded heart that you are a delight to be around and deserving of love just as you are.🏅Keep going: Plan for setbacks and challenges and incorporate all the tools learned so far to create a sustainable way forward. Protect your authentic self and light the way for them to shine!Ready to take the next step and emerge from behind the mask? Book a call to learn more.Not ready yet?
