Pursuit 365 Day 75: Deborah Gillam

Specializing in entertainment coaching for over 25+years. Coaching actors, writers, producers & directors. Helping them bring out their TRUE potential, clarity and focus to help them succeed

Mantra that I live by:

Each morning when I wake up, I start my day by doing a countdown…5,4,3,2,1…then jump out of bed and say out loud: BLAST OFF!

This supercharges my morning. I follow with saying “I keep my mind filled with love and gratitude,” “I attract people that I need in my life,” “I am rich in relationships, wealth and love.” And wow, this is a great way to set my vibration for the day… And YES, it works.

I have been a career coach for 25+ years and I knew from a young age this is what I would be doing for my career choice. From a young age people always would come to me for advice or to problem solve, heck, I even had a company called The Solutions Group way back in the day before I chose to be a principal talent agent for the film industry.

My advice is to always be aware when the doors of opportunity open for you. This is your chance to try something new or different. The doors of opportunity do not always stay open. If we fail to walk through it at the right time, we may never get that opportunity again.

Don’t let pride or regret or fear keep you from walking through an open door of opportunity.

One of my favourite quotes is by Alexander Graham Bell:

“When one door closes another opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”

I am grateful for the career path I have been blessed to work in as a career coach; and see myself enjoying this path for many years, being able to be of service to others is very rewarding experience.
