If you had 10 minutes with Simon Cowell (of American Idol and Il Divo fame) what would you most like to say?
Something like…
“Not to be rude but…I have a TV show idea featuring coaches I’d love you to do…aren’t you getting bored of American Idol yet?”
Hmm, not sure he would buy that, but… 
On the other hand, he DID buy rights to a very exciting coaching-based Television Show this year…
And it WAS pitched by a coach just like you and I…
The premise is taking bleepity-bleep Bosses and turning them into hero Bosses. Think Nanny 911 but for Executives. Come on, there’s **lots** in common between bratty kids and annoying bosses, isn’t there? 
Seriously though, it is a very exciting project. And it has its share of interesting things to navigate, especially in order to preserve the spirit of coaching in the end result. Needless to say, when ‘Hollywood’ meets ‘Coaching’ intriguing things can happen if you know what I mean.
What we covered in the calls:
- What the show is all about and when it will air
- What Danusia said to Simon Cowell when she met him earlier this year
- Why she thinks this particular show concept was picked up
- What the major opportunities are, in her opinion, for coaching
And we asked you for help providing ideas, comments and suggestions for:
- How and where to attract the best bosses for the show – perhaps you know of one or more?
- What needs to be in place for the best coaching to happen – what you think is important.
P.S. Just WHO is this Coach Danusia Malina-Derben? As I said, she is just like you and I. And… she’s a really remarkable talent with a big mushy heart. If she gets her way, this show is going to be much more than TV.
We’re just going to have to keep watching, won’t we?
Here is Danusia’s current webpage describing her biz:
