Educator + Entertainer + Edutainer

I teach cutting-edge, relevant, practical and motivating classes and customize retreats, embedded events, and workshops on everything from PowerNetworking and goal achievement to film and television screenwriting, directing, producing and writing and acting improv games to careers in the entertainment industry, to investing in independent films, to blueprinting dream careers, businesses and events in any field as well as entrepreneurial skills including leadership, ethics, event planning, publicity, time and contact management and, inevitably, for everything: sales and marketing.

I’ve been blessed that my popular motivational speaking has allowed me to travel all over the world. I have spoken in Kowloon, Hong Kong; Kobe, Japan; Barcelona, Spain; London, England; Dublin, Ireland; Sydney, Australia, Vancouver, Canada – and all across the US. I’ve been an entertainment industry Judge in Genoa, Italy; Marseille, France; Los Angeles and Arizona. I’ve spoken to colleges and universities, corporations, Chambers of Commerce, and non-profits on all aspects of the entertainment industry. Artrepreneurship and a variety of other local, micro to macroeconomic issues.

“I love to teach. It is perhaps my favorite thing to do. “Edutaining” means to educate while entertaining. I love to make audiences laugh and cry, think and do. Emotional engagement, intellectual stimulation and actively interacting with new skills are the most fun, effective and memorable ways to learn.

I strive to inspire professionals, aspirants and students alike to proactively make their own dreams come true.”
