Method

Slow is smooth,
smooth is fast.

The method & philosophy

My methodology is built upon my Social Sciences scholar education, Positive Psychology, Service Design, Stanford’s Life by Design framework trainings and studies, almost 20 years of executive People & Talent Management experience, in addition to a deeply personal practice: I continuously coach myself.

At Sweet Spot, I work as your Creative Coach, I create tailor made direction, together we transform abstract talent into concrete professional architecture.

What is a
Creative Coach?

A creative coach is a guide who helps artists, professionals, and new starters clarify their vision, overcome mental blocks, and execute their work with purpose and momentum.

A creative coach focuses specifically on the unique dynamics of the creative process balancing inspiration with structure, navigating self-doubt, and turning intuitive ideas into finished projects.

INSPIRATION ↔ STRUCTUREINTUITION ↔ EXECUTIONIDEA ↔ PROJECT

Overcoming Creative Blocks

Navigating perfectionism, imposter syndrome, procrastination, burnout, and fear of judgment or visibility.

You are
the architect.

We often mistake creativity for a rare gift belonging only to traditional artists. Drawing from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s research (Creativity: The Psychology of Discovery and Invention), I view creativity as a dynamic process of discovery, domain mastery, and integration.

Creativity is the ability to bring something meaningful into existence whether that is

01a piece of art,

02a business model,

03a career transition,

04or a redesigned life ecosystem.

WHAT THEY SAY

Working with Benan allowed us to see the creative identity and true potential of what we do from a different perspective. She shaped the process specifically around us and our creative practice.

Rather than giving us ready-made answers, she opened up new dialogues through the right questions and created space for us to find our own answers.

It was an incredibly inspiring journey that helped us think about the future of Sofra with both more courage and intention, while also helping us understand and express ourselves to each other more clearly.
