Creative Wellbeing Coaching
I help artists and high-performing creative individuals explore, understand, and make sense of the vast complexities of wellbeing and happiness.
I accomplish this by using my extensive academic background (including years of undergraduate research at UCLA and a Master’s degree in Positive Developmental Psychology from The Claremont Colleges), my certification training from the College of Executive Coaching, and over 10 years of experience as an outdoor adventure guide and experience designer. I’m also a professional percussionist and music producer specializing in soulful harmonies, intricate sound design, and cutting-edge bass music (You can hear some of my work here).
Are you unsure about how to engage more deeply with your consciousness and quality of life?
Do you feel as though you’re not experiencing your full creative potential?
Are you afraid of falling into the trap of the “tortured artist”?
Are you interested in feeling positive and fulfilled beyond your art or career?
Have you sought out therapy for issues in your creative life only to find that your therapist didn’t quite understand those issues?
If any of this feels true for you then you may benefit from the transformational power of Creative Wellbeing Coaching

TOPICS AND THEMES WE’LL EXPLORE
Your Creative Wellbeing Coach
Cordele’s passion for mastery and excellence began with high caliber competitive marching percussion and live music performance. As he was building these skills he was also building a deep connection with the outdoors by working with children in California’s Redwood forests. These passions merged into a wider interest in how people develop into their best selves within their own natural environments. By first exploring how he himself overcame a myriad of challenges in his youth, Cordele began to systematically explore how people develop towards excellence at every stage of life, from the womb to the tomb.
“HOW DO PEOPLE DEVELOP INTO THEIR BEST SELVES WITHIN THEIR OWN NATURAL ENVIRONMENT?”
During my exploration of this question I’ve competed in multiple world-championship drumline competitions in both WGI and DCI, I’ve drummed professionally for the Golden State Warriors, and Disneyland’s Holiday Parades, I’ve amassed over 11,000 plays on Soundcloud and my original compositions have made it into commercials for TikTok, podcast intros, VR video games, underground warehouses and festival stages.
I earned a B.A. from UCLA in Applied Developmental Psychology and a Master’s degree from Claremont Graduate University in Positive Developmental Psychology where I focussed on creativity, mastery, and wellbeing under the Positive Psychology legend Dr. Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi. I’ve earned a certificate in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing Coaching from the College of Executive Coaching, and I’ve worked as an experiential educator and outdoor adventure guide for over 10 years.
After working with infants, toddlers, children, teens, young adults, and mature professionals I began to recognize the underlying foundations necessary to develop in an “upward spiral” of perpetual positive growth. I use these experiences to help my clients develop the skills of creative wellbeing by giving them the tools, information, and support they need for success in all realms of work, love, and play based on in-depth scientific scrutiny and rich personal experiences .
