Private Coaching
Private Coaching empowers you with practical tools and productive habits to make the changes that will propel you forward.
Your needs are unique to who you are, so we start by getting to know you and identifying what you truly want; then we work backwards to create the action steps that will ignite your career.
Your coach asks the right questions to help you redirect your energy, focus your goals, and take action in a way that is authentic to who you are and what you care about most.

“As I began working with Capes Coaching, I felt a real shift in the trajectory of my career. I became more focused on things that mattered, gained more clarity about where I wanted to be and planned a course of action to get there.
The tools I learned in those sessions I still use today. I am deeply grateful to Betsy and her team and could not recommend them more!”
-Lennon Parham, actor/writer/director (Minx, Playing House, Bless This Mess, Veep, The House and Somebody Somewhere)
“Betsy Capes is so much more than a career coach. She is a visionary and knows how to inspire and crystalize one’s own creative visions, along with business savvy guidance, but perhaps most importantly, she is especially adept at dispelling negativity. She has experience, talent, and most of all, she has love. I highly recommend Betsy Capes.”
-Amir Arison, actor (NBC's The Blacklist; Hulu’s The Dropout; The Kite Runner on Broadway)
"Before taking the PATH class I had an idea of where I wanted my career to go, but I didn't know how to get there. This class helped me become very clear and focused with myself in a way that made me feel like I was working toward my goals, instead of hoping for my goals.
I also take advantage of the Private Coaching sessions and they have been immensely helpful. After every session, I'm amazed at how I still come away with new techniques to put into practice and help my creativity reach its full potential."
-Sasheer Zamata, comedian/actress/writer (SNL; ABC’s Home Economics; Hulu’s Woke)
More of our MVPs in their own words…
"I came to Capes Coaching at the height of my frustration with my career. Working with Capes Coaching has allowed me to turn my angst into motivation and my fear into courage."
-Natalie Gold, actress (HBO’s Succession; Searchlight Pictures’ Birdman; HBO's The Leftovers; Appropriate, on Broadway)
“Whether you’re just starting out in the business or a veteran like me, The Path is an invaluable opportunity to upgrade your vision and invigorate the process of getting there. It’s not just the tools of the trade that I learned from my coach, but also the ability to see my own path blooming right in front of me.”
-Celeste Lecesne, actor, author, Academy Award-winning screenwriter (Trevor), co-founder of The Trevor Project as well as co-founder of The Future Perfect Project
“I consider Capes Coaching to be one of the most important investments I've made in my professional life and I recommend Betsy’s services to everyone who asks me for advice."
