Happy Clients

“Graduating college and entering the adult world can be scary, but graduating college and entering the industry as an adult can be even scarier. Navigating my career as an adult was entirely alien to me. I am so happy to say that after a few short months of working with Denise on her life/career coaching package, we have completely turned that around. Denise has helped me grow in all aspects of my life. I feel more confident in my career, my acting, and myself. With each session she challenges me to push past my comfort zone, encourages me to advocate for myself, and she even helped me start my own business. The biggest lesson Denise has taught me is to “know your worth”, something that will stay with me forever. I am so grateful for all Denise has done to aid me in starting off my career. “

- Emily Gulden, Recent Wagner College Graduate

“The transition after college into the entertainment industry was daunting to me but Denise has helped me find clarity and confidence in this ever changing world. Through her dedication, passion, and knowledge, I feel consistently empowered and challenged to be the best I can be. Denise Simon has been a wonderful resource and partner in my navigation through the industry. I could not be more grateful to have her as part of my team.“
