Project and Creativity Coaching: $160/hour.
What I do
I help creative people develop actionable, doable plans for the many different projects they have going and provide the accountability and hand-holding they need to get their stuff done. (I’ve written more about this here.)
I know that’s pretty broad, so here are some specific kinds of things I routinely help clients with:
- Figuring out how and when to do email correspondence so that it doesn’t eat up all of their creative time.
- Helping them create a workflow so that they can focus on creating the things they love with the peace of mind that it fits into a reasonable plan.
- Developing an intuitive plan for launching something – whether that be a blog, an ebook, an offline product, or a business venture – that explains how and when things should happen. (I know it’s terrifying, but you don’t have to do it alone.)
- Creating a sustainable set of systems, processes, and habits so that they can get everything they need to done while having the confidence that they can let things go.
- Helping them work through the personal stuff that is impacting their creativity and productivity. Hint: it’s all personal stuff.
These are some of the common themes that come up, but really, it’s about the type of help you need to get you out of your own way so you can start (or keep) creating. You gain the experience of someone who has helped a lot of people become more productive, creative, and successful, but I address your specific needs and struggles in each and every interaction we have.
How To Get Started
If this sounds like something that will help you and you’re ready to start getting your creative groove on, then:
- Purchase your sessions using the buttons below.
- I’ll contact you within 24 hours – or on Monday morning if you catch me during the weekend – to schedule our first call.
- During our first call, we’ll talk about your goals, projects, and accountability/support needs. You will start getting perspective, clarity, and meaningful things done right away.
We’ll also talk about how you want to schedule future sessions. Most people prefer to meet once weekly, but some people would rather meet twice a month or, less often, twice per week.
Each session includes an hour or so of correspondence and check ups throughout the next week or two. Basically, I’m lurking in the background cheering on your weekly victories and helping you when you fall down.
If you don’t think we’re a good fit within the first 30 minutes of our call, I will immediately refund your payment. No questions asked, no hurt feelings.

Great! There are two ways to pay:
- Pay As You Go
I prefer this route - it saves time, creates one less thing for both of us to think about, and helps us both commit to your long term success.
Testimonials
Just in case you’re wondering whether I deliver…
Naomi Dunford from Ittybiz says:
I can tell you with absolute certainty that my book would never have seen the light of day if it weren’t for Charlie Gilkey [...] He runs a little semi-secret service that he calls “UnAss Yourself consulting” and without it, I would be a lot poorer right now.
Clay Collins from Finance Your Freedom says:
I hired Charlie because I was drowning in email, I had trouble keeping track of my business finances, and I was chasing too many ideas and not getting anywhere on any of them. Charlie helped me focus in on what I needed to do and work out the concrete steps I needed to take, all the while providing me the accountability I needed to follow through with the commitments I had made. It dawned on me that Charlie was helping me actually
do something meaningful with the freedom I had earned – and that was worth every penny I paid him.”
Havi Brooks (& Selma) from The Fluent Self says:
Working with Charlie was very helpful because he was wonderfully calm, broke everything down into manageable parts, and gave me this really logical and doable plan that showed how I could manage everything I was trying to do. It was absolutely brilliant how he had such a grasp of the big picture and, at the same time, was willing to dig in with me about the details or step in there and hang out with me whenever I was freaking out about something in the moment. I loved his structured take on things – it’s very methodical, calm, and steady, and was the perfect kind of foil to my chicken-with-a-head-caught-off way of trying to figure out what I was doing. He helped me start believing in the Kitchen Table way sooner than I thought I would. If you’ve bitten off something that’s bigger than you can chew and need someone to have a holistic approach to you and your project, then you need to get in touch with Charlie.
Jonathan Mead from Illuminated Mind
“If I didn’t have Charlie in my corner I probably never would have launched Reclaim Your Dreams. Seriously. I could have kept editing, kept putting things off until “I was done collecting information.”
If you’re a perfectionist that has a hard time getting projects out the door, Charlie is for you.
Stop thinking about it. You can’t put your dreams off another day. Hire Charlie now. Start today.”
