NORMA T HOLLIS - AUTHENTICITY COACH
Norma has been my coach for sometime and so I know first hand that she has a true knack for helping others dig in and find their truest and most daring sides. The people she has gathered around her are all movers 'n' shakers with something to add to the world. 

Nothing new under the sun but a way of subtly nudging you towards a fuller truth that serves not just you but the world. 

As an artist I'm constantly analysing and looking for new ways of being, doing and knowing - anything that might be the change of paradigm that we need. In Norma Hollis I found a fellow traveller many steps ahead of my own path and so I gleefully soak up her tales from along the road. 

I sincerely hope you also find something here for yourself - fuel for the road ahead and inspiration for a better life.

More than ever we are ducking, diving and dancing between our ideas and expectations combined with the cold winds of reality. ⁣
⁣
That play of hope - that balancing is more tricky than ever yet there is a way to steer between the two and create. ⁣
⁣
My biggest break though as a mid-career multimedia artist is my sensation that contentment comes to me in small ways and tiny projects just as much as the large scale goals. ⁣
⁣
So, for instance playing in Instagram can bring me pleasure and satisfaction in small ways because I know that I'm using my creative muscles ⁣
⁣
Don't underestimate the small moments of creativity. ⁣
⁣
They can burst out and bring joy as much as the more sophisticated projects. ⁣
⁣
Key is to keep going.

ABOUT ANDREA HUBBERT - IN HER OWN WORDS

I am a disruptor... since an early age. So said my middle school teachers who sent me home with daily report cards because I wouldn't stop talking in class.

My methods may have changed since then, but my spirit remains the same. 🎉

Today, I'm a public relations strategist and copywriter who helps creators be intentional in the ways they connect with their audiences.

Yep... I start conversations and pass notes for a living. Take that, Mrs. Dansby!

But seriously, there's something magical about taking the conversational traits I started honing way back in middle school and skillfully using them to help my clients get clear on their unique messages, amplify their most compelling stories and position themselves for the greatest impact.

As your ride or die sidekick you can count on me to help you:

▪️ Write copy tighter than… [fill in the blank]
▪️ Cultivate a fanbase of true ride or dies
▪️ Become media darlings

Probably with cocktails.

Who do you want to connect with and what journey do you want to take them on? Let me help you. Here are some of the things I've had the privilege of partnering with others to achieve (view sample client list in Experience section below):

🎵 Had the honor of being the publicist for the only independent music act invited to perform at a U.S. presidential inauguration.

🎹​ Created communication strategies resulting in music clients signing with national booking agents and talent managers, national record label scouting showcases, invitations for industry shows, regional record label deals and prominent print, radio, television and online media feature stories and interviews.

📈 Helped enable revenue growth of a global organization’s strategic client portfolio from $0.8B to $1.8B in three years, and improved profitability by 110 basis points.

💻 Increased effectiveness of an organization’s flagship communication program by 144% year over year.

💃 Led a nonprofits’ increase in donations by 50% and provided 25% in cost savings.

📚 Created and taught inaugural graduate school course on technical communication.

🗣 TED Circles host

In my 20+ year award-winning career I have always stood for connection to people… connection to community… and connection to the greater good. And I always will.

2021 Summit Spectacular - A summit summit run by Larissa Russell (Creative U)

I'm delighted to have been invited by Larissa Russell of Creative U Business to speak at her summit about summits.

Join me at the 2021 Summit Spectacular - 13-15
th October

• A FREE Summit to learn about hosting Summits

• What does it take to host a summit? Find out at the 2021 Summit Spectacular

• How can a summit give your business a boost? Learn how at the 2021 Summit Spectacular


This past year and a half has been a struggle for a lot of people. Many businesses have switched to online and had to learn and recreate (even that dreaded word "pivot").

So, how do you grow your projects and business?

Have you ever thought about hosting a summit to boost your marketing, visibility and reach?

If you've wondered how the heck you do it, then this summit is a great starting point to answer your questions - a summit about summits!

I met Larissa Russell (Creative U Business) a couple of months ago in a Facebook group for coaches, speakers and authors.

She was looking for speakers who had run summits to talk at her summit about summits.

You either love them or hate them - I know.

Perhaps they sound a bit pretentious, yet online summits have been amazing (and addictive) for me as a life long learner and mid career artist realising my knowledge of marketing and business was elementary. 

The first one I attended was probably ten years ago via Sam Bennett - the coach I keep mentioning that helped me figure the business bit of being an artist. 

Then, one she recommended was for authors ran by a book coach called Dawn Montefusco. One of the speakers that she'd invited was Norma T Hollis who completely fascinated me with her take on authenticity (another word that can sound, let's face it "inauthentic" unless used by the right person!).

Roll on another couple of years to 2020 when I started my podcast Make Monday Mine and Norma T Hollis was one of my guests. After that, earlier this year I hired her to be my coach. 

So what is this thing about Summits? - those online things with lots of smiley faces in circles or on this occasion diamonds.

Well, my take is that they are a great source of new insight from a wide variety of voices. 

As a learner I like to get stimulated by different perspectives. 

As a speaker it helps me build my audience, share my message, meet amazing colleagues. 

As a summit leader - well I'm yet to take that curve but it is on the horizon and being in this summit has nudged me forward. 

Larissa Russell is fascinating. She has taken the concept of Julia Cameron's Morning Pages and turned into a business where every morning her students gather online to do creative work and journaling together. 

She is a creativity coach and educator with over 30 years of experience teaching art, crafts, and creativity. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada she founded Creative U, an online coaching and learning platform that helps women step into their authenticity with the help of creativity. She has authored various books on creativity, and is the founder of Queer Voicez, a not-for-profit organization that shares LGBT+ stories to help LGBT+ youth know that they are not alone, 

The Summit Spectacular is all about hosting summits, what to know, what to watch out for, who to invite, and everything else that takes place to host your own summit.

Speakers include Norma T Hollis who has specialised over many years as a coach guiding people to find their unique embodied authenticity, ran the first Black Speakers bureau in the US and is invited to speak at many many summits; Galyn Fergerson - a marketing expert who ran her summit Black Woman Entrepreneur Tour responding to the over looked trillion dollar economic power that black women represent, and coaches for the team of Tony Robbins; Toccara Nicole who through her Identity and Life Coaching empowers women to be themselves in a bold and stylish way including getting the tools to write a book; Veronica Guzzardi who is an enterprising illustrator and product designer who amongst many projects offers Creative Project Management and Design Services; Joyce van der Lely Joyce a Dutch artist and educator with a studio on North Island, New Zealand from which she paints and runs workshops having rebuilt her life from scratch after the 2010 earthquakes - an experience which makes her particularly well placed to nurture new directions very often through summits; and myself, Deborah Claire Procter as a multimedia artist and communications skills coach who has spoken at many online summits whilst learning marketing the slow way through trial and error; and many more intriguing speakers.

New Normal career

1/24/2021

It's not easy to see where careers will go whenever "new normal" happens.

This uncertainty can cause a lot of stress for younger people starting off a career path. 
​
That's why I happily agreed to talk on the summit organised by friend and colleague, coach Andrea Theisz who runs Purpose After Burnout Masterclass & Your Superhero Career group coaching program.

View my profile on LinkedIn
Andrea is using her past experience as motivation for this summit as she herself went from stressed out and unhappy lawyer to a business analyst, a yoga teacher in between and now to running her own business. 

I'm joined by some amazing colleagues such as Norma T Hollis (USA) who is a powerhouse of knowledge and expertise which is why I invited her to speak in an episode of "Make Monday Mine" podcast - I know she has been on a big hunt in her own life for a strongly principled way of being and it makes her a great guide. 

Then Jaz Broughton (UK) who organised another online summit called "The Fearless" in 2020 where she interviewed speakers 
from all walks of life and all stages of the game life and career. I was lucky to be one of those speakers and have continued to love the way Jaz shows up with a strong message of empowerment. Her workshops on listening are powerful tools in a time where 2020 showed us all how much we need that skill. 

Kay Newton (UK) who I've know for years has a straight talking sensible and skilled approach to guiding her clients through midlife crisis and to a simplicity that is fulfilling. Kay's daily zoom calls during lockdown kept many a household sane and were like a great international gathering over the garden fence bringing much needed laughter and a place to let of steam. 

A woman who I've only recently had the pleasure to meet is Nada Samman (United Emirates) - another experienced professional with a whole story and loads of wisdom to share especially around skills and attitudes needed for a successful career. 

I'm looking forward to discovering for the first time the worlds of Soma Ghosh, Annelise Pesa, Ann Hinds, Linda McBee, and Serita Valmond.

The job of translating all this female wisdom into a male optic is Chris MacBrien who has a long track record of working as a career and education
advisor for young people moving into or out of under-graduate education. This is a vital link as right now it is younger professionals who are suffering the most. 

So please do share this event aimed as being a starting point for deeper conversations. 

Register on Andrea's page (link found in the Linkedin event page where you can easily invite other colleagues) then get the talks in your email inbox to enjoy over the rest of January. Make sure you come back to the Linkedin event page where the chat can continue. 
If you have Career Curiosity in 2021 then follow this link for ​more information and then click to register in the sign up page shown in the Linkedin events page. All interviews are pre-recorded so you'll get them in your email inbox over the next few days. Any one's you have missed will be available on the final day. 

See you in the Linkedin page!!

Tribute to PHILLIP ZARRILLI - a man of the theatre -

5/23/2020

0 Comments

 
☆
“As we well know, it's the simple that complicates.”
​

HERB BLAU
“He really was a once in a million man” said theatre director and teacher Stuart Lynch (Head of Københavns Film & Teaterskole / Copenhagen Film & Theatre School) to me in a message about the sad news of the passing of Phillip Zarrilli.

It isn’t easy to write when the loss of a great theatre teacher and person leaves a big space, an inner space, an indeterminable space…

That I’d the good fortune of working with him many years ago is something I’ll never forget. 

Phillip Zarrilli was unique because he wove together key metaphors from a wide range of theatrical sources. Included in that loving embrace were Asian theatre and dance forms such as Noh, Kathakali, Bharatanatyam, and Kutiyattam - all held in a way few directors have done so respectfully, extensively and intensively. 

For thousands of students and actors, including me, they can now approach their craft with a new set of standards to enrich their work;


  • “the body becomes all eyes” (meyyu kanakkuka, Malayalam folk expression)
  • “standing still while not standing still” (A.C. Scott)
  • “working ‘on the edge of a breath” … “at the nerve ends” (Herbert Blau & Antonin Artaud)

With this feel for non-Western art, Zarrilli introduced many audiences to work like “The Water Station” —a highly poetic non-verbal score by Japanese playwright-director Ota Shogo - which Zarrilli directed several times (Singapore in 2004, and  Norway 2015), and that I was lucky enough to witness in Madison University in the late nineties.

Actors who have worked with Zarrilli can approach their work with a consideration of “body-mind”, “embodiment” and the “psychophysical” - knowing that their life’s work is to bring to their art a body and physicality that is highly trained and a mind that’s attuned.

In this approach Zarrilli was picking up the gauntlet tossed by theatre guru Antonin Artaud. who in turn mystically intrigued directors like Jerzy Grotowski, and it was in fact while in India to research Kathakali theatre which Grotowski had mentioned that Zarrilli discovered the martial art, Kalaripayattu on which the physicality of the Indian theatre form was rooted, and that was the movement form which Zarrilli spent his life deeply mastering. 

Studying with Zarrilli meant students undergoing intensive daily training in martial and related arts; taking on a practice of daily psycho-physiological exercises that focus on breath and "internal action.

Especial attention is made to the sense of the inspiration and respiration within the body, which creates a perfect ground for the “letting go” of conclusions and psychology that weighs down in more traditional forms of actor training. 

Without this burden actors could reach towards this sense of "at the nerve ends" - a phrase from American director and theoretician of performance, Herbert Blau who influenced Zarrilli’s early work.

Blau is famous for introducing American audiences to avantgarde drama in some of the country's first productions of Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, and Harold Pinter including the 1957 performance of Beckett's Waiting for Godot at California's San Quentin State Prison.

The actors of Blau also studied T'ai Chi Ch'uan, as did A.C. Scott, the founder of the Asian / Experimental Program at Madison University where Zarrilli continued as Professor of Theatre and Drama, South Asian Studies, and Folklore, and Director of the Asian-Experimental Theatre Program until moving to the UK to continue his academic career at the University of Surrey and the University of Exeter. 

With this sensibility and flare, Zarrilli is probably, I would hazard a guess the director who has most worked with (or you could say “ through” and “within”) the texts of Samuel Beckett, without changing a beat. 

Beckett is known for fierce copyright restrictions so that not so much as a comma can be changed, and in this spirit, his plays never found safer hands that those of Zarrilli.

In a project set up by the ever inventive Centre for Performance Research in Wales, Zarrilli directed “Act Without Words I” - essentially a list of actions - in which with fellow actors Ian Morgan (Theatre Practitioner & course leader RADA’s MA Theatre Lab) and Tray Wilson (Senior Lecturer in Performance - University Campus Oldham) with Adam Hayward (Artistic Director at Hyde Productions) as directors assistant, I was lucky to be a performer where we also tackled “Play” in which at lightening speed a fragmented text falls out of the actors’ mouths, eluding to some past relationship, and all the while immobilised up to the neck in three pots.

Meantime the fantastic actor Patricia Boyette (Univeristy of Madison) was performing “Not I” in a terrifying vacuum of words without body, mouthed, and launched into being one syllable at a time. This epic performative journey was no doubt informed by the year-long project (1994-95) where Zarrilli had the verve to host at Madison University a month-long residency by noted Billie Whitelaw who was Beckett’s muse. 

More humbled and grateful I am that my solo “Illumiata” which was conceived and performed alongside the solo “Walking Naked” of dancer Gitanjalii Kolanad, was directed by Zarrilli. The two pieces went together as consideration of two female historical figures who had explored the divine; Karnataka poet-saint Mahadeviyakka and Hildegard de Bingen. As a double programme we performed together at the University of Baroda thanks to Parul Shah, and the Museum Theatre, Madras.

Before working with him creatively, Kolanad already knew Zarrilli from his book The Kathakali Complex (1990) - a book that by coincidence I’d also received at university in Exeter as a photocopy though was something I only remembered after having met Zarrilli for the first time whilst volunteering for the Centre for Performance Research in Aberystwyth.

Kolanad’s piece enigmatically dealt with the life and poetry of the 12th Century Karnataka poet-saint Mahadeviyakka. Mahadevi, a poet who was said to have run away from her arranged marriage in order to remain a devotee of Siva. Discovered "walking naked" by a community of Siva devotees, the story went that on her wedding night when her husband grabbed hold of her sari she kept walking, leaving it unwind as she walked. 

This unfathomable life met equally inspired staging due to an idea by Zarrilli to use three different puppets each of which had a transformational journey enacted by Kolanad.

In turn my piece was a mix of reflections on the human need to be part of something, bigger than ourselves and how that leads to searches internally and externally, from finding spiritually within to searching for it in drug use. 

Songs and texts of Hildegard de Bingen were mixed with reflections on the science behind the study of light; and personal accounts of users of ecstasy. 

Using plays of shadows, reflections, and back projections it became a meditation on spirituality and the search for enlightenment.

The striking part of this process was the precision and intricacy that Zarrilli develops as a director. A huge amount of research and reading that I did was accompanied by Zarrilli’s own reading so that a rich tapestry was woven from books like “Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi “Catching the Light: The Entwined History of Light and Mind” by Arthur Zajonc. 

Zajonc is Professor of Physics at Amherst College and Visiting Professor at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, and his book is fascinating as a homage to light and its elusive definitions as well as so many strange phenomena such as when the sight is restored to a child who previously had no sight, that the act of “seeing” needs to be taught as seeing and perception are not the same. 

This perplexing, fascinating and captivating subject was breath by breath boiled down into a dance of objects, cloth, text, images and song. 

This ability to really see through to the ends of a choice - to the edges. This interlacing of research both physical and intellectual so that every fragment and every millimetre were underpinned, was Zarrilli’s gift.
​
Prolific as a scholar as well as a director Zarrilli will be deeply missed. 

My thoughts are with many of his friends and colleagues whose lives have crossed with mine such as Laurie Beth Clark and Michael Peterson (Artists, Co - founders of Spatula and Barcode, Faculty in the Department of Art, University of Wisconsin), Klaus Seewald (Actor, Co-Artistic Director at Theater Feuerblau), Jo Shapland (Performer / Artist), Dustin Schell (Actor / Writer), and his family in the States.

From the commentaries in social media each one is processing their own memories and grief as best they can.

There are so many shared histories that I only bring this as a small way to add the remarkable artistic journey of Phillip Zarrilli and as an attempt to exorcise the emptiness that his passing has left for so many around the world.  

I can only hope that these stories and this legacy will be of some small comfort in sincere condolences to Kaite O’Reilly who as a life companion, and with her writing and sensitivity for many identity questions, wove a beautiful pathway with Zarrilli of countless inspired projects. 

No life can be rounded off especially someone like Phillip Zarrilli who lived it so passionately. 

One lasting memory is from the day of the “get in” at the Museum Theatre in Madras, We discovered a building rather abandoned and it took some efforts to make it feel a place where the theatre muses could enter. I was really nervous, and so I’m not sure if it was the moment that Zarrilli had a brush in hand or when he was explaining the lights to a technician on a wobbly ladder tying lights to a rig with rope, but one of men running the theatre, impressed by Zarrilli’s willingness to do what ever it took to get the work done, including stepping out of any privileged reading of the title “director”, declared with much emotion, “he is a true man of the theatre.”

This brings to mind for me, the terrifying admonishment of Grotowski that actors should not be tourists. 

As any brief look at intercultural arts can show us, “tourism” or at it’s worst “appropriation” are serious dangers, but not for Zarrilli who had the gift of bravery to go deep and to face the minutia of what needed to be journeyed through to get there. 

He was a man of the theatre. 

Perhaps there's no real end and it is to that that which Beckett hints,


☆
“The man is flung backwards on stage from right wing.
​He falls, gets up immediately, dusts himself,
​turns aside, reflects ..
.”

chat bots do it better

Reducing some of the repeat tasks of business whether an arts related business or other sector, means more time spent on the things that really matter.

For instance, business relationships can be nurtured by automating communications with people who only have FAQs about your services.

The way to do it are Chat Bots - those things that some websites have that seem to predict the question you are about to ask. 


Chat Bots are a way to allow you to be “open” for questions 24/7 whilst reaching a target audience of 21 - 54 years olds.

By being able to separate out queries so customers get the appropriate information, you save time by knowing what kind of enquiry it is - e.g. a warm lead or someone browsing at an early decision making stage?


I met Sudha as a fellow invited speaker in a summit for business women wanting strategies for business systems.

I'm very happy to recommend this course as her affiliate as she caught my eye for her tech talent, great sense of humour, and wonderful Scottish accent!


This is Sudha's do it yourself Chat Bot course.

Sudha is well known for her tech expertise, has a Facebook community for more guidance, and weekly group calls for questions.

You could hire an expert to build your chat bot, however what you’ll learn in this course puts you in the driver’s seat, saving you costs and time. It's vital because you know your business better than a developer.

You could spend a lot of wasted time on researching this subject or jump into this class with a highly recommended tech expert who will put you ahead of the game.

Clear Insight Productions is really dedicated to life long learning so this is a great way to more forward in the area of communications. 

​Enjoy!

Are you a female and over 50? Then this is a cool chance to win 4-night mini-retreat next to the Mediterranean sea whilst in a challenge to figure out some next steps with expert tips

I’m so excited to be part of the FREE 5 Day Midlife Mojo Challenge set up by Midlife Strategist, Kay Newton who has dedicated her career to finding ways to move her clients forward after set backs and who know what it feels like to be sandwiched in life, dealing with issues such as empty nests, ageing parents, declining pensions, boomerang kids, hormone havoc - and the list just goes on!
Join FREE 5 Day Midlife Mojo Challenge
Having know Kay Newton for quite a few years now (even though we have never yet met in person), I love the way that she helps women navigate through midlife storms that often trigger guilt and confusion. She understand the gravity of having to decide a path for the next few years and what makes her mad is procrastination because she sees it as another wonderful day of opportunity lost. Being from Lancashire she has a great straight talking way of fixing problems and having recently walked the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage 500 mile route without a single blister, she knows how to take on a challenge herself and how to keep going one step at a time come what may. 

Frustration at seeing lack of information on midlife drove her to create “The Midlife Challenge” as a step to get you moving again whether neglected health is your concern, loneliness, purpose, flat-lined finances or just need to focus on re-starting your engine and finding your mojo.

This is also a fantastic way on a cold winter evening to meet new people who are also figuring out their next moves. 

See you there.

    I'm from Cardiff, Wales and I split my time between Buenos Aires and Aberystwyth  (a tiny Welsh coastal town).  I founded Clear Insight Productions in 2002 to make original live performance and events; and with the hope  of finding "clear insight. or clarity, insight and productivity." In that spirit I share news about my own productions, those of colleagues, or ones that I find along the road.
