I can't recommend enough, Compassionate Muse professional coaching & (CoMuse) networking community.
A network shoutout to LJ Malberg today. To sum it all up, I've never done so much for my personal and professional well-being than I have in the last (three?) months working every week with LJ. Her compassion (!!) and coaching are incredible and have inspired so many little wins already. The time spent on investing in myself has been invaluable. Highly recommend reaching out to her to book your own sessions!”
LJ understands the stress and needs of the entertainment business and how to best deal with the wide spectrum of personalities.
We work in an amazing, fun, yet demanding industry that never stops and LJ 100% gets this. This is key to having the ability to utilize her years of experience and apply it to different facets of the entertainment industry on behalf of her clients. I highly recommend partnering with LJ to help guide you in the right direction to be successful in your career and life. Thank you LJ!”
