Ep 045: [Spring(back) Series] Don't put pressure on yourself to be Tigger suddenly, says creativity coach Claire Bridges

Claire is an award-winning consumer PR & brand reputation expert with oodles of experience working in top PR agencies. She also holds an MSc in Innovation, Creativity & Leadership from City University London, and she’s written a book to boost your creative mojo called In Your Element. She’s now founder of Now Go Create, which helps individuals, teams and leaders up the creative ante in their business. But what I’m most drawn to about Claire, as well as her many brilliant creativity hacks, is her humour and honesty and the way she keeps it real. Last time we spoke we had a laugh about how we both felt like slugs creatively, brains to mush, not even able to read Heat magazine… She keeps it real about trying to being creative amid a global pandemic and has loads of great advice to start getting into a state to create.
