PRIVATE COACHING

We all need support, right?

When you look around at the biggest careers you’ve probably noticed that it takes a village - literally. They have a press agent, a talent agent, a personal manager, a personal assistant (or two), an attorney (or two), a life coach, an acting coach, a hair-stylist, a wardrobe stylist, and on and on and on. So, when does that start? Now! The habit of success begins with you taking care of you, now. 


What makes us special? Well, we don’t just care about your dreams, we care about your soul's journey. As mentors, Robert and I know from personal experience how essential that role is.  We’ve experienced that loss personally and overcame it by seeking out mentors ourselves. The work we offer is very specific, imaginative and enlightened. What we care about is you getting into alignment with your soul's uniqueness. This is where you experience the greatest personal joy and personal success. 


So, take the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life and dive right into one of our focussed coaching programs.

The
Tailor Made Coachings

Coaching for the "All-In-Actor" Jump right in and let’s get to work on identifying what is going to get you to the next level, specifically. It’s time to go all-in on the fast track of objectives, goals and accountability. This package is for the experienced and committed actor who is ready to take immediate action, and adapt to achieve their desired outcomes. This is way more interactive than weekly one-on-one sessions which allows unplanned calls and texts in order to get quicker feedback and quicker results.

Life Coaching. Pursuing an acting career does not mean that you have to sacrifice all other areas of your life. As an artist you can share your gifts with the world while taking care of your finances, personal relationships and your health while also reaching your acting goals. How it works. You choose what you want to work on and together we will define your goals, and create an exciting action plan. Together we will track your progress to ensure your “life design” is elevating every area of your life along with your acting career.

Financial Coaching for the Actor. One of the top reasons actors quit pursuing their dreams is because of financial hardships. Money issues force many talented actors to drop their dream in pursuit of a more stable income. Of course everyone plans to return to acting, but the months and years pass quickly and before you know it - yikes! The truth is that it is more than likely a financial-story you are telling yourself. You see, most actors will earn just enough money to make themselves feel comfortable in order to pursue acting. They hold down temp-jobs and hospitality-jobs that give them just enough money to survive. Soon enough the years pass and without much savings, or a few unfortunate events, they tell themselves “I have to stop sacrificing for my acting career.” The truth is you have to test that story big time. Most likely you’re telling yourself a story without knowing your primary values. Once you establish your primary values you can place them at the top of your life-list. I assure you, you can make more than enough money to keep yourself comfortable while building a really enjoyable and sustainable acting career. It’s all about tweaking your financial habits. Together we can create a financial strategy that fits your personal life situation. Once empowered you’ll be demanding higher value for your services and skills leaving you with more than enough money to cover your living expenses, investment/savings, personal development and fun (travel/entertainment). So, before you fall behind or give up on your dream, talk with us. It’s never too late to give your life a much needed boost.

Career Coaching What’s the difference between life and career coaching? A very smart question. It’s where we place our focus. Most actors if they’re honest with themselves are stuck in a casting director's workshop ideology. This means they are being herded by the machine. While it’s important to have good relationships with casting departments it’s not essential to know them all. And that’s surely no way to stand out. What’s way more important is smart targets. Think of it as a dating app. Most of the people in this industry are swipe left. You know it and I know it. We don’t need to go on a date with everyone. The dates you do choose to go on aren’t all worth a second date either, right? You simply don’t match. Career coaching is about matching you up with the right dream dates. Those are the casting directors, producers, directors and writers that will change your life. The big love. The big ‘I just get this person.’ What we do is set up who the proper targets are for you specifically. There is a way to learn who these true-targets are, and how to naturally befriend them. Career is big scope stuff. It’s seeing the big picture and crafting the first smart step followed by the next, and so on. It takes a good coaching mentor to help. That’s what we do. Say yes to your new BFF’s.

Audition Coaching Everyone wants to book the role. We get it. But that’s not possible every time out, is it? What is possible is owning the role in a memorable and unique way. When’s the last time you felt truly satisfied with your own performance? When’s the last time you were alive, truly alive, in front of the camera? When was the last time you were living the part not playing the part? Acting is an exciting career. It’s as close to skydiving as any sport can be. You must jump out of the plane and you must trust that the shoot will open when the time is right. Anything short of that is stiff, boring, dull, and horribly predictable. The flat actor gets the one-liners and guest spots. The imaginative actor wins the room with smart, thoughtful and interesting choices that leave a lasting impression far beyond simply booking the part. John has been teaching Master Class acting in New York City for the last 20+ years. His actors are working all over HBOMax, Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Paramount, Prime Video, NBC, ABC, CBS, Apple, Broadway and Internationally. Essentially what we’re saying is:There is a way to leave a lasting impression. It requires guts. Jump out of the plane with us and reap the rewards of the bold.
