Coaching

Coaching
I started Coaching Actors, Writers, Artists and people of all walks of Life 3 years ago. The coaching came in response to the students in my Improvisation classes who were expressing a hunger for more information, accountability, direction and understanding about creative living and creative fulfillment. I began by individually coaching a small number of passionate, driven and curious students and that number has grown to many more people than I ever would have imagined would be out there seeking this kind of work. I am very passionate about helping others to unlock their inherent gifts and creativity and I find this work incredibly fulfilling and inspiring. I teach and coach what I know has worked for me and those around me who have also found success in their artistic endeavors.
My belief is that we are ALL creative beings and that we are at our happiest and most at peace in our lives when we are creating something. My favorite quote that sums up my mantra on this issue is from the wonderful writer Elizabeth Gilbert when she says, "If I'm not actively creating something, chances are I'm actively destroying something". I love that!

“Before my coaching sessions with Greg, I was lost. I lacked focus and had lots of clutter in my brain and in my heart. I had unhealthy habits that stifled my creativity and left me feeling insecure. My first session with Greg was immediately transformative! I felt like a huge weight had been lifted of my shoulders and the blind fold had been ripped off! He simply listened to me, quickly identified what was causing all the congestion in my life and pointed me in the right direction to move forward. His warmth and genuine desire to help is comforting in an industry that can sometimes feel unfriendly. I am now on a much healthier and clearer path to accomplish my dreams. He has made me see the career that I want as something tangible and I will be forever grateful for that!”
- Amanda Gomez

"Working with Greg was a real turning point for me both personally and professionally. Before we began coaching, I had no real direction and I felt like I was spinning my wheels. He described me as "a missile off course", and he couldn't have been more accurate. I took his coaching to heart and in less than 6 months I've undergone a complete transformation. It's a beautiful thing to look back on the person I was when I stepped in to our first coaching session and I know that there is still good work to be done."
-Sydney Miller

“I have loved having Greg as my private coach! I really needed someone to keep me on track with my goals and hold me accountable and Greg has been the perfect person for that since he is so knowledgeable when it comes to the acting business as well as life in general. I've only had 4 sessions so far (which is nothing!) and I’ve already become clear on the steps that I need to take as well as the mindset I need to have to accomplish them. I also just booked a job that I would not have gotten if I wasn't following Greg's guidance. I've seen a huge improvement in such a short time that I'm excited to see what can happen in the next few months!”

“After taking Greg's first Improv Class, I was immediately drawn to his energy. His confidence and enthusiasm for life and the arts reminded me of why I love it. After completing Greg's Improv Class I not only felt like a better actor but a better, more well rounded person.
This led to me wanting to take his Career and Creativity Coaching sessions. It was here that Greg helped me to further specifically establish my goals as an actor. He helped me create and implement a plan of attack as well as a confident, winning attitude. I’ve explained to my friends that Greg is a Psychiatrist for Actors. He is an intelligent, ambitious, thoughtful student of life and of the Arts and it will rub off on you. I am proud to call Greg my friend, my teacher, and my mentor.”

"Greg is seriously such a blessing in my life and I am beyond grateful to have him as my coach. I have GENUINELY have gained so much from our sessions together and I trust that he will be a long-life supporter of my acting career. He's the perfect balance of speaking to you as an artist yet also giving you practical steps for moving forward with your business. He has challenged me to really have an attitude based in positivity and ACTION. It's so easy to let your mind wander and be like "Oh I'm not ready for that" or "Gahhh why is it taking so long for anything to happen" or "Am I silly for thinking this will work out?" At least, that's where my mind was about 6 months ago. But since meeting with him and establishing my goals, and identifying my fears, insecurities, strengths, skills and acknowledging my community I have a greater sense of calm about my journey and a greater sense of EXCITEMENT and TRUST for my future!
Cool things have happened that I can't give credit to without Greg's wisdom, direction and encouragement: I've booked both VO and on-camera (paid!) jobs, had successful business conversations that could have totally been awkward but led to stronger relationships with directors while maintaining my integrity as an artist, written a short that I am now producing and shooting this summer, cut out negative people and habits that weren't serving me $h&% ;) and seriously just am a happier person. This acting life is not as easy or as "safe" as other paths, but I do feel like I'm utilizing gifts from God in a way I feel proud about and I want to continue to grow and share through my work.
I am so grateful to have Greg as a coach, mentor, and friend. If you're serious about becoming a working actor then I definitely recommend Greg as the man to help you build a mindset and action plan to make it happen!"

"After taking a couple classes with Greg, I really viewed him as a positive and motivating figure in my life that I knew I needed more of, which is right when he began his Private Coaching. At the time I had a full time job and was only taking my acting classes on the side. I was no longer feeling fulfilled by my job and I knew that I wanted to really give my acting career a chance but I was afraid to pull the trigger. The Private Coaching with Greg really changed my life for the better. We discussed everything from my goals, my fears, my lifestyle, my hobbies, my family. He recommended several books which have really helped change my perspective for the better on the way view life. He really took the time to get to know me and from there we devised a plan and immediately took action on it. He gave me the courage I needed to leave my job and pursue my dream of acting, and more importantly we did it strategically. I have an agent, I am frequently going on auditions, I am booking projects, I am living my life and I owe that to Greg. Do yourself a favor and meet with him today.”
