In this episode, Natasha has invited Nicole Garbellini, an actress, artistic director of Aurora Theatre in Hong Kong, public speaker, and writer with a passion for coaching. Nicole shares her fascinating journey that took her from her early acting days in Italy to setting up her own successful theatre company in Hong Kong, and eventually moving to the UK and Saudi Arabia. KEY TAKEAWAYS Marketing is a Fundamental Necessity: Nicole learned that marketing is the foundation for any business, regardless of the industry, and is essential for getting seen and heard. The Global Expansion of Passion: Nicole's passion for acting and theatre started in Italy, but her desire to grow led her to master English in Australia and then establish her theatre company, Aurora Theatre, in Hong Kong, demonstrating the importance of global ambition. Soft Skills Enhance Performance and Life: Her new eBook, Connect With Your Character Using Soft Skills, is rooted in the belief that being a better human being first, with empathy and active listening, makes one a better actor and a better professional. The Importance of a Side Business: Nicole strongly advises people, even those with full-time jobs, to consider starting their own business, no matter how small, to pursue their passion and avoid relying on only one source of income. Adaptation is Key to Global Success: Nicole's personal journey of moving between Hong Kong, the UK, and Saudi Arabia underscores the necessity of expanding one's professional community to remain visible and accessible in a globally mobile life. BEST MOMENTS "Little did I know that there was so much more than me being on stage." "You need butts in the audience. And how are you going to do that? So you've got to go out and market yourself." "If you don't do it [marketing], then, you know, people will not hear you, will forget about you, will... see that there are other people there that they're not necessarily better than you, but they're more visible." "We live in a world where being on only one income is dangerous... What about our passion? What about our dreams? What about what we really want to do?" "If you want to be a better actor, there is only one way you can do: be a better human being first."
