Coaching for entertainment and news professionals
At Aquiline Coaching, our ICF-credentialed coaches partner with news and entertainment professionals to tackle the unique challenges of these industries. In news, we know that burnout is real. The relentless pressure to deliver on deadline while simultaneously building your brand on social media can feel like two jobs for the price of one, and the wave of layoffs across journalism shows no signs of slowing down.
In entertainment, the challenges look different but hit just as hard. Impostor syndrome doesn't discriminate — it visits first-time directors and seasoned actors alike. Knowing who to trust, managing your time and focus, and coping with rejection are battles that never seem to end.
When you work with Aquiline, you'll build confidence, sharpen your focus, set meaningful boundaries, break through old habits, take bold action, release limiting beliefs, and move forward with clarity and purpose.
Whether you're looking for support yourself or leading a production team that could benefit from one-on-one or group coaching, we're here for you.
Athletes partner with mental performance coaches to help them show up at their best, and you deserve that same edge. You've waited long enough to put future plans into action. Now you've found Aquiline and we are here to help, so what are you waiting for? Lights, camera...take action!

Developing Corporate Cultures for Networks / Studios / Agencies
Ad Sales, Sponsorships, and Marketing plays a pivotal role in the financial success of a studio, network, or program. Whether successfully marketing a film or program that has been months or years in the making, or the day-to-day work of selling ad time for a television network, identifying new clients while keeping existing clients happy can be a delicate balance. It is difficult enough marketing a popular show or a sequel to a beloved brand because expectations are so high, but identifying sponsors and advertisers on a new show or series that is untested brings its own set of challenges. We understand! Aquiline Coaches will help you hit your goals by helping you develop a plan for your success.

All ICF Members must possess a foundational level of coach-specific training, get re-certified every three years, and ICF Members and Credential-holders must adhere to and uphold the ICF Code of Ethics.
