World’s First “Coaching” Movie On a Mission to Inspire the Lives of One Million

Watch the Journey of Five Individuals as Coaching Techniques Improve Their Lives in “Coaching” Movie

Hollywood, CA, December 08, 2014 — The “Coaching” Movie, slated to be produced and directed in mid-2015, by the team of Body Language Experts Patryk & Kasia Wezowski, as well as award-winning producer Betsy Chasse, will showcase the inner journeys of five individuals coached by masters of various coaching schools while documenting the best coaching techniques for success.

The audience will share in their life-changing journeys, as the client confronts and taps into their deepest emotions, overcomes their challenges, and gains life-changing insights. Each individual’s story will unfold in it's own unique way based on the personal history of each client and methodology of the coach.

The film will feature some of the most accomplished and well-known experts in their field including Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, Mark Thompson, Dr. John Demartini and Marci Shimoff.

Patryk Wezowski commented, “It's not a movie. It's a movement with the mission to inspire one million lives to transform people’s dreams into reality through coaching. We wanted to create a film that would be an expression of the passion we have for coaching. It comes from our hearts. We are focusing on supporting clients to give them the inspiration to solve their challenges through coaching. In addition, we are doing this to support the coaching community as a whole. Our dream for the future, is to have a foundation to assist low-income individuals with coaching assistance, and that would be started at a later date with potential profits from the ‘Coaching’ Movie.”

The Wezowski Team has built their success on creating the Center for Body Language, the world's #1 training center for business people in 15 countries. With the tremendous success they've had transforming the lives of clients with personal challenges, they wanted to create something from their hearts driven by their passion for what they do, coaching!

Wezowski says, "You can measure your potential for success or failure through body language, and that's why it's so powerful. But the change has to come from within, from the inside out. That's why we not only focus on non-verbal communication recognition, but we pinpoint how to change lives from the inside out. This is why we are making the ‘Coaching’ Movie.”

The film will be funded by investors in the personal development world. In addition, the producers of the ‘Coaching’ Movie will launch an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in early 2015 in order to provide fans of coaching an opportunity to be a part of this worldwide movement.

Contributors to their crowdfunding campaign can be part of the movie itself including a speaking role, background actor, all the way up to producer or executive producer. In addition, those who contribute can participate as someone who needs coaching in their own life, becoming part of the documentary.

1. Coach Option: You will be filmed while coaching one of our clients and/or deliver an interview.

2. Coaching Client Option: You will experience a transformation by being coached during our USA road trip.

3. Contributor Option: You have a deeply emotional story or a fascinating view on coaching that is worth sharing in an interview.

Help the ‘Coaching’ Movie carry their mission forward, transforming client’s lives to help them achieve their greatest dreams!

About Coaching Movie:
The purpose of this movie is to define what professional coaching is and identify the coaches that are best qualified to help individuals with inner transformation. The term ‘coaching’ has become popularized, with many people claiming to be ‘coaches’ even though they’ve had little formal training. How can you find truly qualified coaches? Will coaching help you in transforming your life or will it cost you a fortune and leave you even more lost than before?

Coaching– a process via which an individual is supported while achieving a specific personal or professional competence result or goal

The documentary is intended to inspire people to make changes to better their lives that haven’t had the courage or means to do so before. The creation of this movie is also a quest in search of the best and most effective coaches and coaching techniques. Various coaches and coaching techniques – together with public opinions and experiences – will be published on the movie’s website. The ultimate goal is to create an online community and comprehensive database of techniques and coaches with the power to transform lives.

About The Nutcracker:
Peninsula Ballet Theatre is very pleased to bring its beloved version of The Nutcracker to the Golden State Theatre. “The moment we heard that Eric and Lori Lochtefeld were adding the Golden State to their venues we knew we wanted to be part of this great creative adventure,” said Christine Leslie, President and Executive Director of the ballet company. “We have partnered with them for all four years since they became the owners of the Fox Theatre in Redwood City,” she continued. “We love the charm and the atmosphere of these historic theatres, as do our audiences.”

After making two trips to the Golden State Theatre, the Peninsula Ballet Theatre’s artistic and technical team knew there was no looking back.

“The Golden State Theatre is set up differently than the Fox Theatre so we will be making some slight changes to our choreography to suit the stage size,” said Artistic Director David Fonnegra. “Carlos Carvajal, The Nutcracker choreographer, and I began creating on the spot how to make these changes that will bring the audience closer to the choreography and take advantage of the unique beauty of the venue.”

The Peninsula Ballet Theatre is bringing its entire cast including professionals and student performer from the Company Conservatory. Over 125 costumes characters bring the story of the Nutcracker to life. The technical team arrives on Monday before the performance to begin the transformation to Victorian Scotland. The students portray the friends and family of Clara and Fritz Silverbaum who attend everyone’s favorite holiday party filled with presents, dancing and special entertainments from Dr. Drosselmeyer. Clara’s holiday dreams are fulfilled by dancing by the company’s professional dancers and artists.

Choreographed by Bay Area dance legend and Isadore Duncan Dance Award winner, Carlos Carvajal, this Nutcracker has become a favorite of audiences throughout northern California and is sure to delight audiences in the entire Monterey Peninsula region.

The Company plans on bringing more than just Nutcracker to the Monterey area. Additional Productions will be announced at a future date. “When we have toured this production to Oakland, Pittsburg and Reno we have historically integrated local dance students into the production. We hope to be able to do so for future Nutcracker and other productions,” continued Fonnegra.

“This is a logical progression for a Company that has been delighting audiences for 44 years,” added Leslie. “We are looking forward to being part of this creative adventure in Monterey.”

About Peninsula Ballet Theatre:
Founded in 1967, Peninsula Ballet Theatre is the second oldest professional ballet company in the Bay Area. In 2010, it opened the Peninsula Ballet Theatre Conservatory in 30,000 foot space at 1880 South Grant Street in San Mateo. In that time, it has become an artistic hub with classes in all forms of dance, vocal and acting training as well as a fine art gallery for local artists. David Fonnegra joined Peninsula Ballet in 2013 with the vision of transforming the professional Company into one that reflected the younger, more dynamic nature of its audience base. More information at PeninsulaBallet.org

About the Golden State Theatre:
In 1926, a 15,000 square-foot Moorish castle rose on Alvarado Street, to the amazement of locals and visitors alike. A new cinema and live performance venue to rival those in California's largest cities, the Golden State Theatre , which was built by the Reid Brothers, was the definition of an opulent movie palace. After decades of deterioration, it was faithfully restored to its former glory, featuring an Old World grand lobby and mezzanine, one thousand plush velvet seats, state-of-the-art sound, and the indefinable magic of a truly historic setting. B.B. King, Bill Cosby, Willie Nelson, Yes, Patti Smith, Bob Weir and The Smothers Brothers — these are just some of the names that have graced the stage, contributing to the Theatre's new legacy since its renovation and exciting revival. The community is invited to attend a world-class concert or musical at the Golden State Theatre, or host their own special event here, and become part of its new chapter of history.

The Golden State Theatre is operated by husband and wife entrepreneurs, Eric and Lori Lochtefeld, along with a team of industry professionals from across the country. They are also co-owners of the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, also built by the Reid Brothers in 1929, where they hold nearly 200 events per year. Through their work with the Fox Theatre and the community, they have helped to revitalize downtown Redwood City. For more information, go to www.goldenstatetheatre.com or call (831) 649-1070.

The Mandell Gisnet Center for Conflict Management Awarded Grant to Support Veterans Mediation

The Mandell Gisnet Center (MGC) has announced that it recently received a grant from the National Association for Community Mediation (NAFCM)

Seaside, CA, December 06, 2014 - The Mandell Gisnet Center (MGC) has announced that it recently received a grant from the National Association for Community Mediation (NAFCM) and the JAMS Foundation to support Veterans Mediation in Monterey County and the surrounding tri-County area to reach veterans across San Benito, Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties.


“Over the past 30 years, mediation programs and services have proven to offer constructive and effective approaches to resolve differences and conflicts between individuals, groups and organizations, including veterans,” explains Isabel Bjork, Executive Director and Associate Dean, Mandell Gisnet Center. “We are honored to be one of only six organizations nationally to be recognized with a grant from The JAMS Foundation and the National Association for Community Mediation (NAFCM) to support Veterans Mediation. We believe there is a strong need in our community and look forward to helping veterans with some important challenges they face in their lives.”

The Veterans Mediation program was founded with the recognition that veterans have distinct values and experiences that shape their lives. The MGC staff works with veterans and their families to resolve conflicts about housing, family life, benefits and work through mediation in a safe environment. They also provide training by veterans for veterans and their families on communication, conflict resolution and mediation techniques. Fees are based on a sliding scale. For appointments or more information, email veterans@mandellgisnetcenter.org or call (831) 582-5234.

The program is coordinated by Jack Signorella, a veteran of the Vietnam War and a dedicated mediator and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) professional. Jack serves as the Veterans Mediation Liaison and a volunteer mediator. Jack was the recipient of a Community Service Award from the United Way of Monterey County in 2014. Following a successful career in medical education and public service, Jack has directed his time and talents to mediation, with a particular passion for veterans’ issues. Jack completed the mediation skills training course at MGC in 2012. Since then, he has been mediating in MGC’s court mediation program and NEIGHBOR Project, volunteering in over 100 cases.Jack has furthered his mediation skills with advanced mediation courses at Pepperdine Law School and Community Boards.

About The Mandell Gisnet Center for Conflict Management:
The Mandell Gisnet Center for Conflict Management (MGC), the non-profit alternative dispute resolution education and service arm of the Monterey College of Law, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is committed to providing mediation and training services.

The Mandell Gisnet Center, housed in remodeled LEED Platinum Ford Ord buildings in Monterey County, California, was founded with the vision that conflicts can be resolved in a peaceful, amicable manner and without expensive, protracted, and damaging legal battles. In 2005, Maurice Mandell and Rebekah Gisnet left a bequest to the Monterey College of Law as a result of their personal challenges related to the legal system. Their bequest was used to form MGC. Though they lived in a beautiful area and had significant resources at their disposal, Maurice and Rebekah spent the last years of their lives involved in a bitter legal battle over a property dispute with their neighbors. They spent many years fighting in court, but neither party ever found a satisfactory resolution. At the end of their lives, as they looked back on the wasted time, energy, and money spent on that dispute, they concluded that there had to be a better way. They resolved that a large portion of their estate would be given as a bequest for the creation and promotion of mediation and training services through Monterey College of Law. MGC has fulfilled this vision by offering a variety of ADR education and services, including mediation. The mission of the MGC is to:

- Promote and apply a mediative, empathetic, problem-solving approach to reduce and resolve conflict

- Train Monterey County and tri-county residents to resolve disputes in their homes, workplaces and community

- Offer a variety mediation services to Monterey County residents regardless of their ability to pay

- Promote mediation as an alternative to hostility, court battles, and violence

- Educate law students and attorneys in mediation, and engage them in community service to resolve disputes

One popular MGC program involves their NEIGHBOR Project mediation services, a dispute resolution process in which an impartial panel of mediators facilitates a conversation in a safe and respectful environment. The mediators do not make decisions about the outcome and the participants themselves work towards a solution with which they are comfortable.

Global Techno Thriller, Twilight Visitor, One man's Challenge to Prevent Nuclear War

Two worlds collide when China invades Iran over oil, and when one lonely man, sitting on a beach in Portugal meets a mystery woman who reveals that he alone holds the answer to stopping the nuclear confrontation coming in less than 24 hours.

Molndal, Sweden, December 04, 2014 - Since its publication just two months ago, by Netherworld Books (UK), Twilight Visitor has already been described as “…a high concept thriller that is comparable with the best of Dan Brown or Jack Higgins.” says novelist, David Luddington.

Book-Reviewer.com says this, “The story races along with (the) pace of a Tom Clancy thriller…”

Twilight Visitor is a global thriller which depicts an all too-real energy-desperate China shocking the world with its sudden invasion into Iran to secure its oil. Meanwhile, a lonely man sits on the beach of his home village in Portugal, trying to resolve his dysfunctional personal life, when he meets a strange mystery woman who informs him that because of his special field of knowledge that he alone holds the answer to an impending and inevitable global nuclear war which is about to occur.

Two worlds collide, as the Sino-Persian conflict escalates in just 24 hours into a global debacle, and as this one man comes head-to-head with the ghosts of his own past, fighting to hold onto a shadow of himself while refusing to do anything about the approaching crisis. A high tech, high-octane, adrenaline-pumping thriller with political and philosophical insights which pose many questions.

About the Author:
Réal Laplaine has authored eight books, mostly in the genre of thrillers and techno-thrillers. While he currently lives in Sweden, he was born in Canada. His roots however trace back to Spain, where his grandfather was born and raised, and thereafter emigrated to Canada where he married an indigenous Indian. Thus it is no surprise that a good part of Twilight Visitor takes place on the coastal region of the Iberian Peninsula.
