Coaching Testimonials

This is what my clients are say­ing about my career coach­ing & con­sult­ing services…

“Through my coach­ing ses­sions, I gained an ency­clo­pe­dia of tools. Prac­ti­cal tools to increase suc­cess. This coach­ing ses­sion was like gold. In a very short time I felt like a pro­fes­sional and had a plan for under­stand­ing this com­plex indus­try that can be full of close doors. I gained insight on how to open the doors. Thanks Tanya!” — Daniel Lir, writer/director/producer, Dolce Films

“This pro­gram has opened my eyes on how to approach the film­mak­ing not only from a cre­ative per­spec­tive, but from a busi­ness one as well. Ms Kersey’s pro­gram is a must take for the seri­ous film­maker. And the thing I like best is that Ms. Kersey really cares about your suc­cess and pro­vides var­i­ous ways to help ensure that.” — Ger­ald G. Haynes, Haynes Entertainment

“Tanya’s film­mak­ing pro­gram was an eye-opening expe­ri­ence for me. It cov­ered every­thing from the devel­op­ment phase to post-production, to dis­tri­b­u­tion. Thanks to Tanya and her coach­ing, I’ve learned to be patient with build­ing my career in Hol­ly­wood, while actively tak­ing strate­gic steps towards reach­ing my goals. It’s not an easy process mak­ing it in Hol­ly­wood, but with deter­mi­na­tion and proper guid­ance, you can achieve any­thing. You can’t go wrong with Tanya’s coach­ing, unless you’re just plain ole-hardheaded.” — David “Dino” Wells Jr.

“I was blessed to dis­cover Tanya’s resources at the time that I did. Embark­ing on the path of a screen­writer, I had writ­ten many specs but felt my career had stalled out before it even really began. Under her tute­lage, I was able to get back on the path and soar. I now have my career team in place and am mere steps away from where I want to be instead of the light years I was before I was intro­duced to Tanya Kersey.” — Jaz­men Dar­nell Brown

“I found the ses­sion to be very help­ful and am look­ing for­ward to devel­op­ing my strat­egy to become suc­cess­ful in Hol­ly­wood. I am begin­ning a career as a film pro­ducer and believe this infor­ma­tion will be valu­able towards cre­at­ing progress in my career.” — Adam Cock­rell, Pro­ducer

“You are a gift, and a shin­ing exam­ple of the phrase that “A Can­dle Is Not Dimmed By Light­ing Another Can­dle.” I wish you much suc­cess in your endeavor to ‘Encour­age and Aspire’ oth­ers in their pur­suits in the enter­tain­ment indus­try!” — Hermione Beard

“Dur­ing the course of Tanya Kersey’s 14 week Film­mak­ers group coach­ing pro­gram, she clearly com­mu­ni­cates the require­ments of a Hol­ly­wood career, and she enthu­si­as­ti­cally gives her time and energy to help define the indi­vid­ual filmmaker’s jour­ney. From pro­vid­ing basic neces­si­ties like devis­ing a per­sonal bud­get to pro­vid­ing insight­ful guest speak­ers from the enter­tain­ment indus­try, I found Tanya’s coach­ing ses­sion both indi­vid­u­al­ized enough to cater to my needs as a writer and cir­cum­spect enough to cover the nuts and bolts of the film­mak­ing process for aspir­ing pro­duc­ers and direc­tors alike. The qual­ity of the guest speak­ers was phe­nom­e­nal, and to have this cal­iber of indus­try pro­fes­sion­als as resources through Tanya’s exten­sive net­work is worth its weight in gold! Many, many thanks Tanya!” — Tony Chamblee

“Tanya’s coach­ing was direct and to the point. She didn’t mince her words or pull her punches which was exactly what I needed. I want to SHARE a lit­tle of Tanya’s coach­ing to me — “You have to have a strat­egy. You’ve got to get refer­rals, you’ve got to move for­ward in terms of mar­ket­ing and pro­mot­ing your­self. That is, doing stuff that will make peo­ple take notice of you. Great PR, hype builders, what is your cre­ative sig­na­ture? Your Brand? You got to pri­or­i­tize, get to a mass mar­ket. YOU GOT TO DO ONE THING EVERYDAY THAT PUTS YOU OUT THERE! A good lawyer can help you get an agent. But then when you have an agent that doesn’t mean you stop putting your­self out there. YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOU TOOLS READY!” After read­ing this my ques­tion to you is what are you wait­ing for?” — Q

“I thought that our hour was well spent and that Tanya quickly got to the heart of the mat­ter with my career aspi­ra­tions. I acted on some spe­cific advise that she gave and have had pretty good results. I think it would be good to have ser­vices that are maybe a once a month 20–30 minute check-in for folks who may have some dif­fi­culty with the finan­cial com­mit­ment of the year-long coach­ing ses­sion. Over­all, I felt the ser­vices were extremely help­ful and I have rec­om­mended the coach­ing to my col­leagues.” — Tiffany Golden

“Tanya helped me to dis­cover where the weak­ness lies in my company’s plan of action. She gave great tips and pro­vided a great pro­fes­sional resource!” — Ali­cia Custard
