Why Creativision Coaching?
Creativision engages clients in active discussions and debates-yes that is right Creativision gives advice. Otherwise clients might as well go buy a really shiny (expensive) toaster to talk to.
The Creativity Advantage
Why do people pick Creativision? Because we are experts in creativity. This is perhaps one of the most under-rated skills for business, personal life, or any adventure a client is looking to take. Creativity allows people the opportunity to dream and most importantly to THINK DIFFERENTLY. Consistently clients have suggested that they love the challenges and opportunities that Creativision presents. After many sessions clients often report remembering their passions, having fun, feeling inspired, and excited to take on their next challenge.
Personality
Creativision is an organization that has tons of personality and prides itself on being personable. Creativision has often been said to be an organization that cares about people and brings the human side to business. Creativision is passionate about people and we always strive for knowing the most about our clients so we can help them in the way they best require it.
Stories?
In a day where everyone is getting their mesage out at blazing speed Creativision is here to help. For over a decade now Creativision has been helping people shape and share heir stories for greater success.
How does Creativision help?
Creativision uses many of it's coaching techniques and creativity training in order to help people shape and share their stories. Creativision does a lot of video, written, and audio work with clients in order to help them develop their stories.
These days people are cramming as much as possible into the smallest spaces all over the world. Creativision wants to return to the days when a real story-a WHOLE story can be told.
Think about it don't you have a story you would like to share? Well Creativision can help you brand, market, shape, and even share that story so that people will better understand what you are up to.
People are choosing Creativision because not only do we talk about shaping and sharing other peoples stories but for the last 5 years we have been active in doing this ourselves. Creativision has the experience and the creativity to capture people's attention.
Why Creativision?
Helping people see their futures:
"The opportunity to chart out my LifeMap in a creative way provided more insight at a single glance than years of "talk" therapy with my Counsellors."
-Sheri Dion, LEAP 2009 (Creativision Lead Coaching)
"I cannot even find the words to describe how much of an impact you have had on my life and how you have been a huge part of transforming my life (I could probably write a book on this...but I think I would start crying...it has been that profound!). I was a very different person before I met you...My time with you have definitely changed my life for the better."
-Susheela Ramachandran, Founder of Elephant Tale

a bit about pricing
Creativision works very hard to be fair with pricing and enjoys serving a wide variety of corporate, public, and private clients so we are always interested in trying to make things work.
In the past Creativision has done things like bartering services or helping clients apply for grants so please do not let the money get in the way of the success.
Pricing may vary depending on the client and their needs-the way most of the contracts work for Creativision is by consulting with the client and drawing up a coaching/consulting agreement upon which both the client and Creativision can be happy.
We look forward to working with you!

Students
88% of students only take into account the subject that they do the best in (test scores, gold stars, pats on the pack...) when deciding their future jobs.
Scary? Why? Because this means that very rarely do students take into account the subject that they love the most.
Creativision ensures that students take into account their passions along with their skills so that their future careers thrive. Don't take my word for it, read the testimonial below and then watch the video "Music and Life":
"As a student half way through their university undergrad with no real idea what they wanted to do after graduation, Shawn has helped me realize that my future isn't a scary thing. In fact it is now something I am extremely looking forward too, something I know I will be good at and something I will enjoy. Without Shawn's support and dedication I would have ended up just another university graduate with a piece of paper and no idea what to do with it."
-Lana Dingwall, Varsity Rugby Player and Creativision Client, 2009
"just another university graduate with a piece of paper and no idea what to do with it"
is this sentence not heart breaking? How is it that this student can suggest that they would only be one of MANY students who would study for 4 years or more and still not know what to do? A major question for Creativision is why do students from pre-kindergarten to university never get asked what they like to do and how they can use those passions in their life while they work?
Music and Life
Young Professionals
What happens when people leave education? They get out in the world and start looking for a job. Where does this search usually take them to asking them themselves: "what good is my major?" "what kind of jobs can I get?" Then what happens-sometimes they find a job. They make money. Then the question comes: "do I love anything I am doing?"Enter stage right: Coaching.At either point many people are turning to Creativision to help them figure out what kinds of jobs they can get with their degrees in hand or if they already have a job how they develop their CAREERS instead of just thinking about the job market.

"You always asked the difficult questions and made me make my own decisions and mistakes - they were mine! You got me to believe in me." -Ashley Eades, Creativision Client 2009When do people stop asking the difficult questions? More importantly when do people stop asking the difficult questions of themselves? When do we as a society begin to be complacent with where we are in life and how do we break out of this complacency? The answer: Creativision is there to help people never be satisfied until they find their passions and even then to push those passions to their limits.

Executives
"Students, teachers and elite athletes all can attest to their transformative experiences in Shawns programs but to truly understand one must only listen to Shawn for a few minutes. His passion speaks loudly through both his coaching and his organization, Creativision. Shawn truly is a remarkable citizen in the fullest sense of the word."
Dev Aujla

Leadership Programs
Creativision has been hired by many schools and many students to help develop leadership skills. In fact one private school in Ottawa Ontario worked with Creativision do develop an interactive leadership program that they integrated into their school on a daily basis.
Transition Coaching
Creativision was formed based on the very principle that so many students never find their right track-they find the track they are best at. Transition coaching helps students find the track they are passionate about.
Creativision developed out of Shawn's personal story and the story of others. If you would like to read Shawn's story about why Creativision was developed and what transition coaching is click on his story right here
Creativision helps people find their passions and then helps them use those passions whether it is for work or for school.

What has Creativision been up to?
Here you will find lots of links and information about past presentations
February-Conferences, LEAP, and Youth Centres
This was a month of abundance thinking. LEAP was going well. The group was really coming along we were all working well together. I was excited with this new group.
2 Conferences come in front of me and I was super excited for both.The first was re:Vision 2010 to be hosted in March by the Young Social Entrepreneurs of Canada (YSEC). I would have the chance once again to work with my good friend Dev Aujla founder of Dreamnow.
The second conference though was a real dream for me. I was in talk to present at a TED event-FYBY News was going to be hosting a TEDx YouthOttawa event at Ashbury College on March 4th and they wanted me to speak. If you have never watched a TED.org talk you do not know what you are missing. These are so inspirational and filled with amazing ideas I just want to be a part of that.
Finally in February I started talking with SKETCH Orleans about how we could work together in the capactiy of both LEAP and Creativision. They needed some business training and they wanted to do it in a fun way so I was game for doing that.
It was a great month full of diversity and much discussion about work to take place in 2010.
January-LEAP into Cornwall
The start up of the Local Employability Access Program (LEAP) was at the forefront of this month. This was expected to be the largest group ever and for the first time ever we would have males in the program.
January 18th was the first night for LEAP and it was wonderful the group was so welcoming and so interactive made for an excellent night and start to this new partnership.
December-Month of Clients
I had the chance during this month to work on picking up clients and that I did. December for me is a time of rejuvenation and idea creation. A new idea thePULSE was beginning to take shape and with the almost 30 clients at the time I was working with I was being inspired almost everyday.
It was also during December that I got to really meet some of the new folk I would be working with during the new LEAP program coming out in January.
I was looking forward to the new year.
November 22nd 2009-2 Keynote Presentations at University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario
The focus of the first keynote was really around motivation and what is leadership. The presentation was called "Adding a Pulse to your Passions" and it focused on helping find their own stories and figuring out how their stories influenced their leadership.
The second keynote was to a group of students who were about to embark on an Alternative Spring Break. This spring break would be different-they would be serving other communities and learning along the way. This presentation was called "I Did it my Way" and it was aimed at helping these students define their own paths and to inspire them to take ownership of their educational paths and their life paths.
November 21st 2009-Eastern Townships
Worked with a group of young people to help them discover their towns and discover how to be leaders in those towns.
Much talk was around person and community identities. The question was posed why should I come and visit? Then for the remainder of this session discussion was all around this topic.
