We all know that watching Project Runway can make you a better designer. There’s nothing like watching the designers scramble through a challenge to build your own problem solving skills, or watching Nina and Michael critique the runway to hone your own design eye. But did you also know it can make you a better teacher, coach, and mentor?
It did for me.
When I first started teaching, I was a little uncomfortable giving criticism. I wanted to help my students, to make them better, but I wasn’t always sure how to tell them what parts of their designs weren’t up to par.
And then I started watching Project Runway and the amazingness that is Tim Gunn. Tim is a fantastic teacher and mentor (I’m convinced that applications to Parsons must have exploded after PR started, just so people could study with Tim), yet he isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. So, I started channeling my inner Tim Gunn. Whenever I wasn’t sure what to say to a student, I would ask myself, “what would Tim Gunn say?”
The result? I’ve become a much better teacher.
Now, you might be wondering how all this can benefit you. Well, I think everyone deserves a little Tim Gunn in their lives. Someone who can serve as mentor and friend, help you work through problems, and give you feedback on the direction you’re headed.
I can do that for your creative business.
I’m now offering “Make it Work” sessions to help you sort through the areas of your business that aren’t working so well and brainstorm ways to make them better. Want to discuss strategy or business planning? Talk out a new product idea? Get feedback on your pricing? Brainstorm new ways to market your business? Figure out how to make a profit? We can do that! (And so much more – any area of your business or creative process is fair game.)
So head over to the work with Megan page to book your session today. Because everyone could use their own Tim Gunn. Why not let me be yours?
And I promise, I’ll keep my inner Nina Garcia at bay. (Unless that’s what you need.)
Megan, this is such a great idea. I have like a million questions and things I need advice on. I’ll remember your consultations for the future when I’m ready to take the next step with my business.
Carry on! 🙂

I simply wanted to leave a simple comment to state your web site was nice. I found it on google seek after dealing with lots of other information that was not likely relevant. I was thinking I would discover this much before thinking about how excellent the content is.
wish to appreciate the attempts you have made in writing this article. I hope the same best work from you in the future also. In reality your creative writing ability has inspired me to get started on my own web site now.
