TESTIMONIALS:

Creative Business and Career Strategies, is without equal, bar none. I tried out other career guidance counselors, but since I have been consulting with Sandra and Judith, my career is flourishing. Goals I had been striving to achieve alone, have been accomplished sooner and even better than I imagined. We crafted a unique query letter, and within 24 hours, I had received numerous requests for my script from top agencies. Three short weeks later, I secured my ideal agent. My scripts are now with accomplished producers and talent. I have learned the importance of setting deadlines and meeting them. I have sharpened an essential ability, which is to network effectively in order to build relationships. There isn't any magic bullet. Realizing one's goals in this industry requires unyielding work and commitment. Sandra and Judith have channeled my efforts brilliantly while providing an amazing support system. I am aiming for the sky and I now have effective strategies for reaching it.

- Deb L., screenwriter


There are so many options for both paid and free career advice in Hollywood, it’s sometimes hard for people to sort out who’s the best. You’re tops on my list! We’ve been to your Hollywood Networking Breakfast and we trust the information you give us.
 
- MAB, Actress


"Hi Judith, I wanted to thank both you and Sandra for the presentation and information [at the recent free Creative Career Strategies seminar]. I bounced your email invitation off of a friend before I decided to attend, and she said, 'Dave you probably will be teased, with little or incomplete information, and then pitched on some product or service.' Truthfully, I was impressed, and grateful that I attended. Sandra spoke from the heart, with practical experience, and dropped many gems along the way. I couldn't see you when you were talking, Judith, but as I listened, I could hear, and feel a zestful enterprising personality. So I just want to say thank you both for your efforts and your service."

~ DSG, Multimedia Commercial Artist, North Hollywood


"Ms. Lord, and Judith: THANK YOU both, for the Saturday seminar!! It really "hit me," when you said we must do "SOMETHING" for our career, every day...it's so true. That night, I sat down, and wrote the FIRST SCENE for a script treatment that's been "rolling around" in my head, and just begging to get out!!! It's a START!! May God bless you both, and the "work of your hands."

~ GAJ, Actor/Writer, Los Angeles


I accomplished more in the first six months with Creative Career Strategies, under the guidance of Sandra Lord and Judith Smith than I accomplished in the preceding four years. They are master strategists. I became a member of the WGA. One of my scripts won the Best Television Screenplay at the Austin Film Festival. I have also created and written two one hour TV pilots which are currently in the hands of people whom I could only dream of meeting a year ago. I have expanded my circle of connections to include doing lunch, having drinks, meetings and direct dial/email contact with top producers, showrunners and executives. The list goes on. Highly, highly recommended! This is the most excited I’ve been about my career pursuits in years!

- SAR, Attorney/Writer


In less than FOUR WEEKS, I went from daydreaming about my project, to going through my Action Plan and now having a meeting with the Government of another country that will push my project into being fulfilled. What I have achieved in the last four weeks is more than I accomplished in the last two years working on my own. Thank you Sondra and Judith for your guidance and leadership and helping me grow as an individual.

- E. Phillipps, Founder, Joiht Project


It was so great working with Sandra and Judith! They helped me organize so many projects that I had been working on and not completing. By assessing all of these different projects that were only partially complete, I was then able to set up my priorities and move forward much more quickly and smoothly on my over all plan. Well-worth it!

- Melody Jackson, Ph.D., Smart Girls Productions


Creative Career and Business Strategies/CCS with Sandra Lord and Judith Smith has been a 100% game-changer for me. I had been working for years in the entertainment industry as both a writer and producer, but real success always seemed just out of reach. Even worse -I had hit a professional plateau. CCS helped me reassess my successes, re-envision my priorities, and repackage myself, while helping me create a comprehensive, effective, and realistic plan to achieve the goals I truly desired. Already my career has reached a whole new level with clear guideposts leading me to my full professional and artistic potential. I have improved my networking skills tremendously. I was recently hired to write a feature, I have had high-level studio meetings and several requests for my scripts. With CCS, I feel like nothing can stand between me and my dreams.

- Anthony S., Writer, Director, Producer


Thank you for the FANTASTIC guidance you shared with me. Your service is a much needed tool.

- Paula M., Award-winning Director, Producer, Writer


Your ideas are excellent. Your strategies are superb. Thanks for your integrity, passion and unique vision.

- NN, Chairman, nonprofit organization, Los Angeles


Sandra’s strategies got me so busy, I had to quit my 9 to 5 job. My credits now include lead, guest starring, co-starring and supporting roles in television, film, stage and commercials, and I now have a “day rate” as a professional actress.

- CS, Actress, Los Angeles


"I had trouble with priorities -- deciding what to do first -- and how to contact people. Among other things, Sandra assisted me with guiding my focus, expanding my network of connections, and getting top names to be featured interviews in my upcoming entertainment industry book."

- SST, Los Angeles: Award-winning published author & screenwriter


If you can help rock ‘n rollers, you can help anyone! I take my hat off to you.

- CMS, Rock Performer, Los Angeles
