Anke Helmich

Anke Helmich is a Creatief HB/Talent Coach at The Poëtry of Creation, where she focuses on coaching and supporting creatively gifted individuals, particularly those who may feel marginalized within traditional educational systems. With over twenty years of experience in fostering creativity, Helmich aims to help creative thinkers, especially children labeled as gifted or having learning differences like dyslexia or ADHD, to embrace their unique talents and navigate the challenges they face in academic environments.

Professional Background

Helmich's work emphasizes the importance of recognizing and nurturing the strengths of creative thinkers rather than solely addressing their weaknesses. She believes that many gifted children often go unnoticed and unchallenged in conventional schooling due to their nonconformity to typical expectations. Her approach is rooted in understanding how these children think differently—often conceptualizing problems and seeking multiple solutions—thereby advocating for an educational framework that supports creative thinking.

Current Projects

In addition to her coaching role, Anke Helmich is also working on a book titled "The Beauty of a Creative Mind," which aims to inspire those who work with children, providing insights into fostering creativity in educational settings.

Through her initiatives at The Poëtry of Creation, she seeks to create a supportive environment where creatively gifted individuals can thrive and develop their potential fully.123
