Coaching with me

How I like to coach

I am officially certified as a professional Life Coach through the International Coach Federation! For the most part, I’m excited! But if I’m being completely honest, this new credential terrifies me. Just a little bit. I’m worried about the assumptions people might make as I begin work in this new field. Given the conversations I’ve had following my decision, there seems to be one general fixation: if I’m becoming a Life Coach, then certainly I must think I have my life figured out enough to be able to coach others on theirs. Normally, I don’t worry too much about assumptions because they are, after all, assumptions, which are generally never based in logical reasoning. But I’m starting a career here and I’m passionate about successfully helping others so I feel the need to set the record straight on some things. What is coaching? Coaching is defined by the I.C.F. as “a strategic partnership in which the coach empowers the client to clarify goals, create action plans, move past obstacles, and achieve what the client chooses.” Nowhere in that description does it suggest that a Life Coach has life figured out. And thank God! Because, let me tell ya, I do not have my life figured out! I feel that this idea, in and of itself, is a silly notion – that anyone has life figured out. It’s life. It’s never going to be completely figured out. My favorite question I keep getting asked is, “What’s your greatest piece of advice?” I’m sorry to say, but I don’t all of a sudden have pieces of advice I can hand out at a moment’s notice. Maybe – try getting a Life Coach? You may want or need one. I certainly did. I’m going to attempt an analogy using the example of a baseball coach. A baseball coach is an ordinary individual who has worked hard to get to where they are and therefore feels ready to help their team strategize towards winning. But the baseball coach can’t win for the team; the team has to do that on their own. And the coach isn’t immune to losing should he or she decide to play again. Similarly, I am not immune to losing at life just because I’m now coaching about it. I lose at life all the time, actually. So why have I become a Life Coach? I enjoy the process of figuring life out. I’ve always been highly motivated. I love scheduling and making plans, organizing and assessing. I’ve never not gone after something I want to do in life. I hold myself accountable for my goals and I work hard to accomplish them. These happen to be some of my “good” qualities. I have a lot of self-doubt that was ingrained in me at a young age. Though my confidence and self-acceptance have improved massively, I still find myself struggling with self-esteem to this day. My damaged sense of self-worth leads me into unhealthy and unstable relationships. These happen to be some of my “bad” qualities. Here’s the kicker though. The qualities that I possess aren’t good or bad. They’re just me. And I enjoy figuring me out. I enjoy finding the self-examining processes that work for me and are going to allow me to live consciously while I actively pursue my passions. I believe that self-care and self-awareness are not only essential in fueling yourself forward in life, but also essential in fueling your happiness in the present. That’s what “Love Life,” my life coaching business, is going to be about. Finding the joy in the journey. Loving yourself so that you can healthily love others and also love your life – whatever that looks like for you. Just like a baseball player enjoys playing baseball to a point where they’d want to spend their life coaching about it, I enjoy playing the game of life to a point where I want to spend my life coaching about it. If life is a like sport, I am now drafting my team! Let’s figure out where you’re at and what you want and let’s play the game of life together. All potential clients will receive a free half-hour introductory session.

Professional and life experience

Brian Falduto is a professional Actor & Singer-Songwriter as well as an I.C.F. certified Life Coach.

At the age of 11, Brian was cast alongside Jack Black by casting director Ilene Starger and Golden Globe-winning director Richard Linklater in the Scott Rudin/Paramount Pictures film School of Rock as Billy, a.k.a. “Fancy Pants.” Brian returned to working on and pursuing his craft in college.

A dual-degree graduate in Theatre Performance and Arts Administration, Brian proudly calls himself an alumnus of Wagner College.

Since college, Brian has immersed himself back into the industry, working with renowned theatre organizations such as the Broadway PR firm O&MCo, the Broadway producing company Jujamcyn Theatres, the regional Paper Mill Playhouse, the Off-Broadway show Fuerza Bruta, the Venus / Adonis Theatre Festival, and the New York International Fringe Festival. He has also taken a dive into the world of Radio with various formats including 95.5 WPLJ, 77WABC on the AM dial, and Radio 103.9. However, he is specifically proud of the role he had in helping bring country music back to NYC with NASH FM 94.7, the flagship station of the now national and influential NASH brand.

Bit by the music industry bug, Brian is now a Singer-Songwriter himself, delivering heartfelt lyrics through infectious melodies. His debut, acoustic EP, “Love One Another” was released on June 13, 2017 and within 24 hours hit #94 on the US iTunes Singer-Songwriter charts. By the end of the week, it was #64 on this same chart in the UK and #31 for overall album sales on iTunes in Norway. Prior to releasing his 2018 Live Performance Session series on YouTube, Brian spent the majority of 2017 sharing his music live in concert throughout the Tri-State area and also devoted some time partnering with various non-profits including H.D.S.A. (Huntington’s Disease Society of America), S.A.G.E. (Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders), and H.E.A.R.T. (Help Educate At Risk Teens Foundation), all causes dear to his heart.

Brian was recently named one of the “20 most influential, outspoken, and optimistic individuals on the planet” by PrideLife Magazine in their 20th Anniversary #20intheir20s issue. Pride Month 2018 also brought more opportunities for Brian to continue his advocacy for the LGBTQ community with Broadway Sings for Pride at their 8th annual star-studded benefit concert and through his own efforts organizing the 1st ever NYC Pride Week LGBT Songwriter’s Night in support of The Trevor Project. Most recently, Brian has had some amazing opportunities to share his life story openly and honestly through both a self-written piece in The Advocate and a heartfelt interview with Now This News, both of which have since gone viral.

Launched in June, Brian is currently promoting his new business “Love Life,” a professional Life Coaching program in compliance with the International Coach Federation standards. Fueled by his passion for self-awareness & self-love, Brian works closely with his clients to help guide the conversation they are having with themselves about life.

Brian was in sunny Los Angeles for the recent Pilot Season, but is back in NYC for the summer and hard at work to have new music out by the end of the year. For booking & press inquiries, click here.
