The Difference Between a Creative Expert and a Service Provider
Episode 111
Thursday, 12 November, 2026
I think when we talk about becoming a creative expert, it's really easy to imagine someone who's super confident, has all the answers, charges enormous prices and walks into every client meeting knowing EXACTLY what to say.And if you're not naturally that person, you might start to wonder whether being an expert is really something you can become without changing who you are.But I don't think being a creative expert is about having a particular personality, being better than anybody else or suddenly becoming the loudest person in your industry.I think it's much more about how you see your own work, how much you trust your creativity and whether you're giving your expertise the space it deserves.So in today's episode, we're having a little chat about the difference between being a creative expert and simply providing a service, and what starts to change when you genuinely believe in the value of what you do.Because you can be incredibly talented, experienced and brilliant at your work, but still find yourself playing small, downplaying your contribution or feeling like your clients are the ones who should be making all the decisions.And I think there's something really powerful about recognising that you don't need to become a different person to change that. You can still be warm, kind, collaborative, quiet, funny or whatever feels natural to you.You just don't have to keep making yourself smaller. 💖✨ Watch my free Booked Without Burnout workshop: https://www.mentor.gattoweb.com/workshop💖 Join the Booked Not Busy waitlist: https://www.mentor.gattoweb.com/waitlist Hosted on Acast.
