I was at a holiday party this weekend. The children out-numbered the adults. I commented to my boss (who also happens to be my dad), that children are the mark of a successful company. Employees who are supported in their work, are confident in their jobs, and happy in their lives, have [...]

Thank you to Robbie Samuels and all attendees for an inspiring, educational evening! “Perfecting Your Pitch” was our November Career Lab for Women in Theatre. This combined elements of two classes Robbie regularly teaches, “Art of the Schmooze” and “Getting Over the Fear of Asking,” while focusing on specific needs of women in theatre. [...]

He just asked for five volunteers….let’s see where this one goes…

They’re talking about bagels. And now croissants. I’m not going to give away this exercise. You really should see it in person. But really, the point is that where you are physically, and how you hold yourself physically is very important when you’re networking. [...]

And biz cards? Got those? Turns out we all [...]

Pitch: A Lived Experience

serahrose — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 00:10:44 +0000

Pitching is a learned experience. “You’re going to get better at it.”

It’s about relationships.

You’re going “to walk up to the producer of your dreams and pitch your idea. ”

Go to the community, get involved. “Be intentional about it.”

Pitch: Getting Started

Why are you here? Why do you need “to pitch”?

“When I pitch something…I start to get really good..and then for some reason I back off.” – Sound Designer

“I’m really bad at it.” – Playwright/Director

“Learn how to get people more involved in my project.” – Choral Founder

“I’ve been connecting to my self [...]

serahrose — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 23:15:30 +0000

We’re here at the BCA, Calderwood Pavilion.

Robbie got here a few minutes ago and he is happily chatting with Amy and Jen…already the topic is on how to be who you are and pitch your idea and speak who you are.
