KMCC is a combination of 29 years of research and creative wellness group facilitation and 12 years of creativity coaching provided by Jill Badonsky with augmented tools by Robert Maurer, Ph.D, UCLA psychologist, author, and internationally renown workshop leader. It is an unprecedented model of coaching that takes into account the resistances and sensitivities of the individual wanting to experience progress with creative endeavors or simply with creating a positive change in their lives. Its hallmark is compassion and its distinctions include small steps that create big changes, playfulness, permission to daydream, guided imageries, astute insight into the workings of creative success and 10 original tools that simplify the creativity coaching process.
