Ep. 79: Everybody is Creative! Community, Vulnerability & Confident Expression with Saz Ross

Would you describe yourself as a creative person? In order to access your creative side all you need to do is begin to look at things a little differently! In this week’s episode Saz Ross, artist, educator, and speaker, shares her story to discovering her purpose through grief, community and some seriously scary life-changing moments. She shares how everyone is creative and everyone can access more of their creative side. We discuss how creativity helps us express ourselves with more vulnerability and build deeper connections.

In this episode we chat about:

The journey from underfunded art teacher to speaker, 

Stepping outside of the box.

Not waiting for life to happen to you. 

Creating an art career.

Finding your community. 

And so much more!

Saz is an artist, educator, and speaker whose expertise rests in providing creative breakthroughs with visual storytelling workshops and captivating keynotes on how everyone is creative. Most commonly, people are not inclined to view themselves as such, thus building barriers for innovative thinking. In response, Saz provides an impactful skill set for thinking differently by exposing techniques that allows one to feel confident and connected to a purpose that unearths an unstoppable creative edge.

Saz has been featured on TedEx, Voyage Magazine, Empowering Women in Industry, and on NBC News. After spending 10 plus years in the art classroom, Saz decided to venture out and build a thriving business in illustration and creativity coaching. Along the way, she realized that she could use her artistry to help educators, creatives, and businesses take creative risks and STAND OUT to acquire personal and professional growth.
