entertainment industry coach question 726: Did you think the Oscars were lame?

No! I don't know how this is going to help your career, but I really enjoyed them! I'm not quite sure if James Franco was completely there, but he is a character. He goes from an exceptional performance in Milk to General Hospital (where when featured on The Soup, I thought it was a joke... apparently it wasn't) and now nominated for and hosting the Oscars.

Anyway, I really enjoyed it! I got to see Wally Pfister win for Cinematography, I laughed a lot, Chuck sang, Gwenyth sang from my favorite soundtrack(and quite frankly my favorite movie of the year despite not being anyone at the Academy's) and I liked the acceptance speeches.

The kids at the end were cute...

entertainment industry coach question 725: How do you get to go to the Oscars if you're not nominated?

I assume you're not a star who would be a presenter either. There actually is a way to attend if you aren't invited. You can be a seat filler. Research it, and get yourself a nice dress (or tux).

entertainment industry coach question 694:Is the Super Bowl a good reason to reconnect with contacts?

This was asked last year and why not throw in the Pro Bowl too, since the Super Bowl is coming.

Absolutely! While not everyone in our industry is a "sports fan," everyone can relate to the competitive nature of achieving "the big goal." After all, the Super Bowl is really "the Oscars" of football.

So reach out in the spirit of going after that BIG GOAL!

I personally, will be rooting for the Giants, even though they're not playing. What can I do? They're in my blood...

entertainment industry coach question 382: What current celebrities have you coached or managed that are in the acting business ?

First off, I don't manage anyone. I'm an entertainment industry career coach. I don't know how other coaches operate, but my client list is confidential. I have testimonials and press where my clients mention me, but I don't share their information with anyone. I know some coaches do, to promote their business, but my clients promote me so I don't do that kind of marketing.

Perhaps you're just wondering about my credentials, if I'm coaching people who are working and recognizable and the answer is yes. I've worked with Oscar and Emmy winners, people "fresh off the bus," and everyone in between. I've coached over 1000 people and that number grows every month. There isn't an obstacle I haven't found a solution for thus far, and should that day come, I'll use all of my resources to find an answer.

As great as it is to have celebrity clients (mostly because they understand how important following through with our work is, and therefore see the payoff faster) it's equally as great to work with someone unknown and watch them grow to celebrity status.

So I apologize if you were hoping for same name-dropping, but you've come to the wrong coach.

I assume you're not a star who would be a presenter either. There actually is a way to attend if you aren't invited. You can be a seat filler. Research it for next year.

entertainment industry coach question 342:Is the Super Bowl a good reason to reconnect with contacts?

This was a comment on yesterday's post that just came up, so I thought I'd better get back to it quickly since the Super Bowl is only hours away.

Absolutely! While not everyone in our industry is a "sports fan," everyone can relate to the competitive nature of achieving "the big goal." After all, the Super Bowl is really "the Oscars" of football.

So reach out in the spirit of going after that BIG GOAL!
