   Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 15, 2008 -- David Brownstein is one of the top 100 thought leaders in the field of personal leadership development, according to the world's leading executive advisory magazine, Leadership Excellence, founded in 1984 by Ken Shelton, Stephen R. Covey, Ken Blanchard and Charles Garfield.
   ...
   Brownstein shares the spotlight with such recognizable names as Robert Kiyosaki, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Phil McGraw, David Allen, Patrick Lencioni, Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong, Tony Robbins and Suze Orman.
   ...
   Brownstein is thrilled to be on a list with many of the people whose books sit on his reference shelf. "Many of their ideas have greatly influenced my own," said Brownstein.
   ...
   On January 26th, David Brownstein is presenting a one-day career workshop for creative professionals and entrepreneurs - not just for those who work in film and television in Hollywood, but in any creative industry. "I'm expanding my career and leadership development outlook to include all creative individuals - from the brilliant architect to the exceptional photographer or graphic designer - who suddenly find themselves managing and running a company."
   
   "With the changes going on in our world and creative communities, we're getting the opportunity to reinvent and refocus our careers, like it or not," said Brownstein. "This powerful workshop walks you through the steps needed to gain clarity on getting from where you are now to where you want to be in your work and in your life.
   
   This spring, Brownstein will also offer, "The Leadership Studio," a 3-month leadership training program that will develop up and coming creatives and executives who aspire to greater leadership roles at work.
   
   Under Brownstein's guidance, participants will leave this program as more effective leaders because they'll have learned more than how to lead effectively, they'll understand how to implement that knowledge in the real world. "A big challenge leaders face," said Brownstein, "is how to hold their vision - without giving away their power - and still empower their team."
   
   An award-winning former producer and director, Brownstein is certified by the International Coach Federation and has been featured in The New York Times, CNN.com, Self magazine and Japanese Vogue. Among Brownstein's clients are creatives, executives and leaders from ABC TV, NBC TV, CBS TV, Sony Pictures, Touchstone Television, Warner Brothers Television, The Walt Disney Company, HBO, E!

   Executive Coach, David Brownstein, is Developing Hollywood Leaders
   
   "Hollywood is great at developing products, but not so great at developing leaders," says David Brownstein, founder and president of Hollywood Coaching. To this end, Brownstein announces Inside the Leadership Studio, his step-by-step coaching program, which develops essential leadership skills for executives, management teams and companies.
   
   Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) October 5, 2006 -- "Hollywood is great at developing products, but not so great at developing leaders," says David Brownstein, founder and president of Hollywood Coaching. http://www.hollywoodcoaching.com
   
   To this end, Brownstein announces Inside the Leadership Studio, his step-by-step coaching program, which develops essential leadership skills for executives, management teams and companies. To head writers, show runners and their teams, Brownstein brings the aptly named, War and Peace in the Writer's Room. In the words of a recent client, "David is like a wrecking ball with heart; like having in one person, an Olympic trainer, a therapist, a dance partner, a guru and a member of the Spanish Inquisition."
   
   Designed specifically for the entertainment industry, Brownstein's executive coaching and leadership development programs are changing the way writers, executives and producers define what it takes to be a leader in Hollywood.
   
   A former producer and director, Brownstein is certified by the International Coach Federation and was featured in The New York Times, March 2006 article, And I'd Like to Thank My Coach, which focused on life-coaching in Hollywood.
   ...
   "There's a big difference between being the boss and being a leader," says Brownstein. "As brilliant as many of these people are, a great many of them are in over their heads when it comes to running a successful company."
   
   Not to mention the way they think about the dysfunctional side of Hollywood. "Most of my clients want more satisfaction from their work, but don't know how to get there." With tangible, bottom-line results, inside expertise and practical business applications, David Brownstein is everything a manager should be, but usually isn't.
   
   Consider the writer, successful on the staff of a TV show and suddenly he's running a room of 12 writers. Or the producer, successful in film or TV and suddenly she's running a production company. Or the executive, who finds great success and suddenly he's running an entire studio. They're at the peak of their success and rising fast, but they're out of their comfort zones; powerful, talented and well connected, but their leadership skills are underdeveloped or missing entirely.
   
   Hollywood is finally catching on to what Fortune 500 companies have long known: Leadership development creates a competitive advantage, which results in highly skilled, more effective leaders and more profitable companies. Just ask any of Brownstein's clients, creatives, executives and leaders from (to name a few) ABC-TV, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, Sony Pictures, Touchstone Television, Warner Brothers Television, The Walt Disney Company, HBO, E! Entertainment, Bravo, MTV Networks, ICM, William Morris Agency and BBC-TV.
