A Legacy of Mentorship
“Asked how she avoided some of the all too typical pitfalls of child stardom to become a serious, two-time Emmy-nominated actor, [Keri] Russell chalked it up to the unique environment of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club.”

How to Talk to People
Build Confidence, Connect Authentically, and Thrive in Every Social and Business Setting.
All too often, youth arts training overlooks the critical importance of emotional intelligence, confidence, and networking skills. They’re at least as important as actual talent in building successful careers.
Every student receives a copy of How to Talk to People, that draws on the wisdom of thought leaders like Brené Brown, Jack Canfield, Dale Carnegie, Adam Grant, and Tony Robbins. We distill the latest research into actionable, real-life strategies that young artists will need in pursuing their careers and navigating the waters of their chosen industry.
