Autistic/ADHD + Artist + Activist = AUTIVIST TL:DR from the cats of Rebel Yell Creative : People who think different are the best people. And artists. I want to help creative people get real, get empowered, and get arty. And that means speaking directly to the weirdos. Because resistance is more than protests Resistance seems to be all about the big and loud.

Let's get real about creative coaching and consulting TL:DR from the cats of Rebel Yell Creative : Most coaching advice sucks. The human's doesn't. Maybe it's because I'm autistic.

Corporate dropouts make good resisters. I quit my corporate job in May. It was a sudden move, but also a years-overdue move. I couldn’t do the corporate thing anymore, couldn’t feel like a number anymore. Especially when the outside world is also trying to make us feel that way. I’ve been working in communications for 25 years. Advertising, marketing, business comms, corporate thought leadership: All of it for companies I really didn’t like or agree with. Along the way, I dec
