We’re Capes Coaching.

We’re a team of passionate, creative coaches who know how hard it can be to break through in an unforgiving industry. We’re fierce advocates for you to pursue your actual dreams, not what you think you should be striving for. 

We get that a fulfilling creative life looks different for everyone. We’re here to help you define and pursue your creative path based on what success means to YOU. For more than 18 years, my signature course has been helping artists and creative professionals align their life and career goals without sacrificing one for the other.

You HAVE a Path. Now it's time to discover it.

Betsy Capes

We help creatives articulate their dreams into goals and craft an action plan to achieve them.

Lennon Parham

“As I began working with Capes Coaching and using the PATH course, 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)

 
Amir Arison

“Betsy Capes is so much more than a career coach. She is a visionary and knows how to inspire & 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)

The Creative Path is led by industry leader and renowned coach, Betsy Capes.

Designed especially for the needs of creative professionals, The Creative Path is built on a proprietary reverse engineering process that starts with identifying Your Big Vision and guides you through every step needed and every strategy required so you can bring that Big Vision to life. BUT without the overwhelm, the brain-melting confusion and the negative loop that’s on repeat inside your head right now. You lean on baby steps instead of trying to sprint on Day 1. You lean on community instead of wading through your fears alone.

This course gives you the tools you need to stay focused, strategies for overcoming obstacles, empowering you to manage your career with clarity and purpose.

You gain a deeper understanding of yourself and what matters most to you, and you walk away with a structured year-long plan tailored to you. A plan that you can trust and use, day in, day out.

Alison Rich

“I look at The Path as halfway between a manager and a therapist. It's this perfect combination of concrete practical steps for one's career, guided by tapping into the deeper desires for a fulfilling life. It's a life raft in a career that can feel so directionless.”  

-Alison Rich, Filmmaker (Sundance, SXSW)

Michelle Hurst

“CLARITY. That's what working with Betsy and Capes Coaching is all about. Figuring out goals (from the smallest to the largest) and bringing them to fruition. And enjoying the ride along the way!”

-Michelle Hurst, Actress (Netflix's Orange is the New Black; NBC’s Law & Order)

David Perez

“I looked at my Path Map from when I took the class and realized I accomplished every single thing — but just not on the timeline and with WILDY turbulent terrain. I think it speaks to the class that we leave with tools to navigate the un-Pathable.”

-David Perez, Comedian, Writer, Performer

PSA: This course is NOT a solo sport.

The idea that someone could help me really get down to the core of what my goals are is very exciting to me. Because going it alone has been brutal so far.

You know what the Path is, but what is the Co.?

Connection
Commitment
Collective wisdom
Community

The Co. is where you give yourself all the things your industry will never give you — Consistency, Control, and most importantly Community. You will be seen and heard by coaches and peers who get what you are up against. We will not do the work for you. But we will do the work alongside you.

The Co. is where we will bump brains, pop the bubbly to celebrate you and of course, give you the guidance needed to confidently course correct.

 

The Creative Path guides you through a deep exploration of your own values and self-sabotaging tendencies so you can crush them for good. It unlocks a system for turning big goals into small, consistent actions, so you can develop a Path for your individualized career ambitions…. all with the structure and support of a community of like-minded creative professionals and trained coaches.

 

“The ability to identify my goals and values, tactics to help me achieve them in my own way, and the encouragement and belief that I can do it.”
-Gwen Mesco, Comedy Writer

If you want to get unstuck, believe that it truly is possible to achieve your career aspirations, and commit to a system that will support you for the rest of your creative life… enroll in The Creative Path today!
