About us
We work with people on a personal and business basis to bring creativity to life, for short and long term benefit. Through creative workshop facilitation and coaching of teams and individuals, we help those who are open, curious, and willing to experiment, with taking the first step towards change and creative wellbeing.
Founder, Dr Cathryn Lloyd, is an experienced and qualified facilitator, coach, entrepreneur and creative practitioner.
Working with a blended facilitation and coaching approach we help clients identify what’s important, explore ways to innovate and breakthrough business as usual thinking habits. Our eclectic style means our service is not one size fits all.
We adopt a co-creative way of working with our clients, drawing on everybody’s skills and experiences in the mix.
We use a range of highly interactive, participatory processes and methodologies such as Practice-Led and Artful Inquiry, Arts-Based Learning Experiences, Systems Thinking. Systemic Coaching, Action Learning, Reflective Practice, Provenance, Prototyping, Appreciative Inquiry, and Design Thinking, to support people to work well and channel their inner Maverick.
It’s Cathryn’s creative industries, visual arts and design background that allows us to innovate our service by using arts-based methods such as images, stories, drawing, painting, music, nature, mindfulness, applied improvisation, play and journaling to promote creative inquiry.
The essence of our work is encapsulated in the following proverb:
If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

Why us?
Is your leadership in need of some creativity?
Does your team need a recharge and refocus?
Are you stuck in your creative practice wondering where to next?
Maverick Minds offers you the opportunity to try something new and really experience the difference.
Creativity, along with communication, connection, compassion, and care, are qualities and capabilities we need to live and work well in this increasingly complex and conflicted world.
Creativity is curiosity.
It allows us to ask questions, imagine different futures and solve problems. Innovation is the implementation of that curious and imaginative thinking.
Our workshops and coaching highlight the creativity within people. We help you step outside of your everyday thinking, embrace uncertainty and ambiguity, and gain confidence to take that first step towards positive change.
Whether you’re a large organisation, small business or creative solopreneur, and whether it’s at work or for your personal creative wellbeing, we’re equipped to help.
Cathryn has over 20 years’ experience across creative industries, business, and academia, and is Australia’s first certified creativity coach with the Creativity Coaching Association.
That’s just for starters…
What’s the difference?
Through artful interactions, we challenge you to take your everyday business practices and apply creative thinking.
You get to stretch your creative muscle, generate ideas into action, and hone your professional artistry.
This is our key difference.
