For more than two decades I have connected imaginative people with excited audiences.

CoachAnders Morris Knight - Creative Coach
London, United KingdomFreelance
As a coach I support clients to explore ideas, find focus and solve a range of problems. These include issues around creative blocks, self awareness, and the setting and attaining of both personal and professional development goals.
I am particularly interested in, and committed to, working with early to mid-career creatives and those who are under-represented in the cultural sector.
Quotes & Testimonials:
"I cannot recommend Anders highly enough as a coach and all-round top-tier person. If you feel like you're hitting blocks with work, struggling to keep on top of things or just wanna talk things out, he's spectacularly supportive and you'll learn loads”.
"Anders has been a brilliant creative coach for my design practice. Helping me understand where I want to be a designer and helping me not only with creative block but imposter syndrome. He offered me professional guidance and got me to think about issues I had not even noticed or considered. I would definitely recommend his coaching service to anyone and everyone in the creative industry".
