You can look forward to lots of interactivity, practical outputs and fun from my courses, as I love learning through doing and giving you 1-2-1 feedback. I'm a business psychologist and writer, especially interested in the psychology of creativity, and creative thinking skills.
In the Complete Freelance Writing Course, you'll learn how to be a better writer, a more versatile writer and a business savvy writer. Where you're interested in community-building, then you'll learn to do this being the most creative version of yourself.
Hello, I'm Philippa, with 30 years experience of business consulting and freelance writing - author of 12 books, newspaper columnist, TV and radio scriptwriter and web editor. My book 'Eureka: making brilliant ideas happen' described a step-by-step guide to grow creative intelligence.
The Times newspaper kindly serialised my non-fiction bestseller 'Irresistibility' while my novel 'The Gritties' got made into a double Bafta winning TV film. The 'Poetry Pause' podcast which I produce and host, is now in its third series.
You could say that I'm fixated by how we communicate with each other, which means I've coached Olympic Head Coaches, Oscar Winners, Prime and Cabinet Ministers in the UK and company directors at GE, NBC, Merck, BBC, and Universal Pictures.
For John Lewis Partnership in the UK, I helped integrate their online business into the main business. I ran a tech WordPress community, the FYI Network, and have spoken at Meta on creative approaches to community building. I've taught at university business schools and for the National Union of Journalists, in the UK.
But as a Brit who really doesn't like boasting I'd prefer to talk about you than me.
You'll like my courses, then, if you think that writing is much more important than many people realise, that a successful writer of today needs to have multimedia and marketing skills, and that one of most exciting feelings in the world is to express an idea cogently and have others say 'You truly made me think here' or 'You moved me here'.
Lovely to meet you, and I hope we chat further, soon.
