Why I Recommend Hiring A Coach For Creative Professionals

Being an award-winning feature film writer, director, and producer, my creative journey has made me realize the value of hiring a professional coach.

After hiring one myself to help guide my career path, I have seen a significant shift in my creative direction, perspective, and overall performance. I am now the Lead Remote Camera Operator for a prominent tech startup.

Another notable accomplishment is working on the film- The Terrible Adventure, which received distribution and is now on TubiTV, Amazon, and Plex. I also successfully worked as a judge for two years at Hollywood's #1 Film Festival, Dances With Films. I am also a TV producer, having produced segments for shows that have appeared on Lifetime Television and TuffTV.

As a creative professional, working on such projects require innovation, inspiration, and a high level of creativity. It can be both rewarding and challenging for you. Sometimes, you may struggle to come up with fresh ideas, feel blocked, or lack the motivation to move forward. As I’ve found from my experience, this is where a coach can be incredibly valuable.
