Did you know that the way your brain naturally processes the world has a direct impact on how you write? In this free masterclass we explore the four NLP modalities — Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic, and Auditory Digital — and what each one means for the way you naturally create, think, and tell stories. You'll discover your own dominant modality and walk away with practical insights into the writing approach that works best for your unique wiring.
VIP session immediately following takes a deeper dive into each modality in action, including a live Q&A with Maddison.

UPCOMING - ALL events
Did you know your personality type directly shapes the way you write — and that writing against your natural wiring could be the very thing keeping you stuck? In this in-person talk, Maddison walks you through the Bird Writing Personality Framework — a powerful tool used with her coaching clients — to help you identify your own writing personality type and understand why you write the way you do.
You'll discover whether you're a detail-loving Owl, a big-picture Eagle, a story-feeling Dove, or a spotlight-loving Peacock — and what that means for your process, your planning style, and your productivity at the desk.
Stay for the hands-on workshop immediately following, where you'll put the framework into action and leave with personalised, practical strategies you can use the very next time you sit down to write.
This event is hosted by the Gold Coast Writers' Association.

If you've started your book more than once, or have a folder full of half-finished manuscripts, this masterclass is for you. We'll look at the real reasons writers get stuck in the restart cycle — and it's rarely about commitment or discipline.
You'll learn to recognise the patterns keeping you from the finish line and leave with a clear, practical framework for moving forward on your manuscript with confidence.
VIP session immediately following goes deeper into the Finish-First Framework with personalised guidance and a live Q&A with Maddison.

Most writing advice tells you what to do. This webinar shows you why you haven't been doing it — and gives you the tools to change that, starting today. In this free 90-minute live webinar, certified NLP Practitioner, Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, and multi-published award-winning Australian author Maddison Michaels introduces three NLP techniques built specifically for the inner experience of being a writer.
You'll create a Writing Flow Anchor — a physical trigger you can fire before every writing session to access focus and creative readiness on demand, without waiting for inspiration to arrive. You'll learn the Writer's Pattern Interrupt — how to identify the exact moment your procrastination, self-doubt, or avoidance loop begins, break it before it runs, and replace it with a new response. And you'll work with the Writer's Reframe — a way of questioning the meanings you've been assigning to your writing experiences, your rejections, your unfinished drafts, and your inner critic, so that those meanings stop running your creative life.
This is an experiential session. You won't just hear about these tools — you'll use them, and you'll notice something shift. A VIP session is also available for those ready to go further.
