Career Coaching for Hollywood Professionals
I advise entertainment creatives on how to grow and sustain a successful career in television, film, and more.
Your work is blazing hot!
So why isn't your career where it should be?
A long-term, successful career in Hollywood takes more than talent, and every stage brings a unique set of challenges and obstacles. It takes experienced, strategic guidance to build on your achievements and level up.
And, who am I?
I’m Carole Kirschner, and I’ve been a Career Coach in Hollywood for over 25 years. I’m also the Director of the WGA Showrunner Training Program & the Paramount Writers Mentoring Program, and spent 15 years as a senior-level development executive, including at CBS and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television.
It has always been my mission to guide writers, directors, producers, and executives to develop the right strategies and mindsets to achieve their goals and take their careers to the next level — I’d love to help you too.
Why use a Career Coach?
The challenges of Hollywood don’t disappear just because you got in the door.
Even seasoned pros can benefit from ongoing support to help with their careers.
But few coaches have the real experience and expertise in the business to tackle the obstacles you’ll face as you move up in this business.
That’s where I come in.

Guest Speaking
I run workshops at conferences, festivals, and events all over the world. Every engagement is personalized for the audience, interactive, entertaining, and filled with proven strategies. I’d love to discuss how my experience and expertise can be of value to your audience.
Online Courses
My online courses help you improve your skills in specific key career areas, like pitching, networking, or breaking into Hollywood. Each fall, I teach a 5-week, live on Zoom Pitching course for writers taking out new projects. Learn what executives are looking for in a pitch and how to make yours stand out, based on the lessons I gathered hearing over 5000 pitches as a development executive.
