Hey! I'm Charla. A Vancouver and Los Angeles-based comedian, writer, producer, director, and productivity coach.

“I wish that Charla had offered this course 10 years ago but 10 years ago is when we were all just starting in our careers. I really appreciated Charla's candid and thoughtful presentation. The reminder that networking isn't about being "phony" but about being your best self and letting people know who you are (and what you can offer to other people) is basic but not always remembered or practiced. |”

Michelle T. | Producer | New York

“The writers path is not a straight line but the information from Charla’s workshops help me map out my next steps with confidence!”
