TESTIMONIALS | AWARDS & PRESS

I have known Deborah Harry for over 15 years as she used to represent me as an extra and she has always been a nurturing and positive individual in my life.

Recently, I had approached her about representation as I am getting serious about my acting career and wanted her assistance. She had informed that she was no longer an agent but was now coaching and producing so I took this great opportunity to have someone as reputable in the industry as Deborah, to coach me.

Within weeks I had an outlined plan to help get me where I need to be to evolve quickly in the entertainment industry. She is very effective at devising action plans which will formulate results and perpetuate further steps and successes.

My main objective was to get representation with an agency within a few months and because of Deb's leadership, guidance and knowledge, I have now been picked up by an agency and I am well on my way to achieving my future goals as an actor.

I would definitely recommend Deborah as a coach for any individual from an actor, to an artist, to an entrepreneur to a student. Her methods, strategies and initiatives will greatly improve your chances of success no matter what your objectives are, believe me!

I've been working with Deborah and her clients for the past 6 years and I have come to know her on both a professional level and as a friend. 

As an agent she had great success and represented some of the most talented actors in the business; always pushing her clients to be the best they could be. 

As a friend Deb has taught me a lot about the industry and has been a solid pillar of support and encouragement.  Whatever Deborah does she will have my support and endorsement along the way.  She truly is a diamond in the rough!!  Fast Forward Coaching will be a name to be reckoned with.

Ah the Dynamic Deborah Gillam.  She doesn’t just sit around and sell the sizzle, she goes out there and initiates bigger picture connections, makes the extra phone calls and visits and mail-outs---she makes it happen. 

Whatever her commitment, as an Agent, a Producer, a Life Coach, it’s never just work to her.  People matter and she fully invests her generous, passionate Force into getting results. 

I recently made a move to Toronto and Deborah immediately went out of her way to connect me with a fabulous agent.  She has laid the groundwork of liaison, respect and trust from her peers and once again, Opened A Door!

I am delighted to have the opportunity to talk about Deborah Harry. I met Deborah in Vancouver over seven years ago as a struggling actor.Since that time, she has provided me excellent guidance and insight in the film and tv industry. She is very well connected both in the US as well as Canada and has been able to open doors for me I could never have done myself.
Working from a tight budget, Deborah appreciates that and has saved me countless hours of legwork and unnecessary expenses. She has always been available as my resourceful advisor as well as my friend. She truly is the sweetest, smartest lady you'll meet in the industry. No matter what stage your career is at...she's there to guide you on the right path... Thanks Deborah for all your help!!!

Being an actor relatively new to the Vancouver film and TV market, a friend of mine referred me to Deborah for "career coaching".

I have only known Deborah a short while, but I am thoroughly impressed with her energy, positive outlook, connections, and solid advice. She worked with me to hone my marketing materials (headshot, resume, demo reel) so they were even more effective.

Finding an agent can be daunting in this market, but Deborah's good advice and contacts helped me to find excellent representation within a short time. Deborah does not simply give advice and then move on to the next client; she keeps in regular contact and is keenly interested in all facets of my journey.

I anticipate working regularly with Deborah as my career takes off.

From the moment I met Deborah Gillam Harry I was struck by her open demeanor, great sense of humor and professionalism

I was transitioning out of being an agent and into various other positions in the film industry but wanted to find my talent clients a great home.

I felt Deborah had the skills and tenacity to take some of my actors on board and look after them as I had. A second Mom, literally. She dove into the opportunity and they sung her praises regularly.

Every call, every lead, every bit of advise I have ever given Deb she has followed up on to the letter. She is a DOER! if you want things to happen, go to Deb.

She's like a steaming train and will do everything in her power to help you while supporting you in your own power to do the same.

Deborah Gillam -Harry's exceptional communication and networking skills are at a level that most try to acquire but few are able to achieve.

I have known Deborah for over 10 years and never regretted a moment of her innate ability to watch my back, be on the ball and truly care about her clients. Being a successful actress, I wanted someone who was trustworthy, tenacious, loyal and most of all a ‘friend’ and Agent to me. She was not only that -but more. It makes sense that Deborah moved into the coaching field, as she is absolutely perfect for anyone who requires guidance, information, education and experience in the field of entertainment. As I believe, it has always been her dream to see others succeed through her assistance in whatever shape that may be. I am so proud to have had her representing me in my acting career and I am so much the better from all her guidance and love.

Since first meeting Deborah Harry in February 2009, it was my experience to fall under her unique way of bringing out the best of yourself, and tapping into those areas before I knew it.
Deborah weaves her enthusiasm, encouragement & goal oriented focus into simple conversations with everyone whether they need coaching or not. Her expertise in assessing a person's overall qualities and skills are quite unique. She is able to draw out these traits and causes one to focus solely on the positive elements they have, laying foundations for growth producing maximum results.
Deborah is influential in establishing a basis for personal success in the entertainment industry using her experience as a producer and talent agent with many recognized accomplishments and awards to her name.
I highly recommend Deborah for anyone in or outside the industry.
