Jeff Fajans

Creative Momentum Coach at Jeff Fajans Coaching.

Westminster, CO, USA

My name is Jeff Fajans (rhymes with “lions”).🦁

I am creative performance & leadership coach who works with creators, entrepreneurs, and leaders to help them bring their biggest ideas to life and reach their next level of creative success.

Here are 3 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me

🧪️ Thing #1: My last name is a Polish last name. My Polish great-grandfather Kazimierz Fajans discovered the chemical element, Protactinium, and ate lunch with Albert Einstein at a table my parents now have in their dining room.

🎓Thing #2: I have a PhD in Positive Organizational Psychology from Claremont Graduate University, where I studied under Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, world-renowned author of Flow. My research focused on how to help people learn, develop, and lead more effectively to better achieve creative goals.

🎸Thing #3: I am an avid music creator and guitar player - and since the birth of my amazingly curious, creative, and energetic 6-year-old son, Hendrix, I have been creating funky fresh kids music (under the artist name, MrBoodaddy) that captures the authenticity, joy, craziness, and fun of toddlers and parents experiencing the world together. This is NOT anything like the typical cookie-cutter children’s music out there. The president of the National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP) described my EP, Trash Truck, as “Beastie Boys for Babies” 🤣.

About this FieldTrip

Feeling dissatisfied and frustrated with your progress toward your most important creative goals is normal, but it doesn’t have to be.

You can reach your creative goals faster, more effortlessly, and with more enjoyment along the way if you learn how to shape your experiences for more Flow, the state of optimal creative performance.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
