What is the The Creative Leader's Framework course about?

Creative leaders often sacrifice their own output to manage others. They lose rhythm, momentum, and self-trust. The pressure to deliver commercially clashes with the need to create meaningfully. This leads to cycles of overwork, retreat, and second-guessing , especially when identity is tied to both artistry and results.
