Hi!

I’m Fern Wiley, a coach and artist based in Portland, Oregon. My coaching work focuses on supporting artists, creators, misfits, dreamers, and individuals navigating career transitions.

The insight I bring to this work comes from my background in interdisciplinary arts—dance, performance, and visual art—as well as a decade of experience in people management. My background, straddling a full artistic and professional life, gives me a unique lens into common challenges faced by those with a spark to create and the need to make ends meet in this capitalist system. Here, I offer the fruits of my own career transition, having left people management to step into the coaching space where I support people to realize their potential and step into possibility to design more fulfilling and creative lives.
