You can go to this six minute series where Dr. McAfee works with young filmmakers and veterans on keys to story telling in the film industry. Hundreds of authors from publishers from New York to LA, and most recently France and beyond have been seeking answers.

Team building for organizations is key and our experience in coaching goes back 22 years. We are part of the team of "character coaching" now serving the Mercer Bears in Macon Georgia. We are found in a huddle in the middle of a Division I Basketball game supporting Coach Bob Hoffman and his staff. Making a difference in the sports world begins at the top and it never stops. There is a process and a system by which great sports marketing, positioning and hard work along with a team spirit pay huge dividends and create championships. You can see in the CLIENT section all about Sports and our commitment here is strong. We use the same principals when coaching talent, music companies, movie companies and publishers. Creating content is a team sport and you must learn how to perform, excel and keep improving.

There is no better team building opportunity than working in DIVISION ONE Basketball. Our organization focuses on fixing the problem, not the blame and working to do everything we can to build up groups, not tear them down. When this happens, you get championship teams ongoing!
