Hollywood’s “Transformational Success Coach” gives last masterclass in London

Published

on

Actors and artists who want to achieve greater success in their career need to move fast to book the last spots on Bernard Hiller’s London Transformational Masterclass. Held from 4-7 September 2023, this is the internationally renowned acting and life coach’s last masterclass for a while, before he flies back to LA to coach Lindsay Lohan on her next Netflix movie. He’s worked with her on her last two projects.

Bernard is also gearing up to film and produce his script ‘Brundibar’, with Andy Serkis (‘Venom’, ‘Black Panther’, ‘Lord of the Rings’) directing. Bernard has worked with and coached actors including Cameron Diaz, Jeff Goldblum, LL Cool J and Evan Peters, as well as helping entrepreneurs, CEOs and business people find their unique path to greater communication and success. 

Previous attendees at his masterclasses have described it as a life-changing experience with lasting results. Known by some as a ‘transformational wizard’, Bernard has been holding masterclasses in London for the past 18 years with the aim of helping actors, artists and business people discover their true potential. His revolutionary methods and techniques get them to the next level in their careers, and he also brings actors to the attention of Hollywood and the London film industry. Bernard said: “In the London Masterclass I always find amazing British actors that I bring to meet the Hollywood industry. Several of them are now working here, and some are even living in LA.

Bernard began his showbusiness career 35 years ago in Broadway musicals, before moving to LA and training some of the finest actors in film and television. This summer he appeared at the Ischia Global Fest film festival in Italy and also led a massive event at Mindvalley in Tallinn, Estonia, where he was considered the best transformational speaker. Quotes from participants included:

“Absolutely amazing and life-changing.”

“So charismatic and impactful.”

“Truly a profound experience. I felt this seminar more than any other allowed me to go deep, create a shift in my energy, my patterns and my life.”

“Hands down, the best talk I ever heard.”

Bernard’s masterclasses include emotional exercises, dance, scene study, character development, business skills and more. He also often invites industry guests to speak – past guests include Baz Luhrmann, Bryan Cranston and Al Pacino. 

Bernard said: “We cover everything that is stopping you from living 100% of your potential. From blocks and fears to creating a path for your success.”

“No one has ever come out of these classes the same that they came in. It’s pure transformation.”

He continued: “People are like an orchestra. They must find different parts of themselves, so they play in harmony. I teach my actors to lean into their vulnerability, be led by their heart, and act from their instincts. This profession requires us to run towards who we really are, not run away from it. I prepare them to be the actors of the future.”

Last year, Bernard published his book, ‘The Revolutionary Guide To Acting’, which shot to number 1 on Amazon and is now available in Spanish. It provides the success secrets that movie stars and top CEOs know and, most importantly, helps the reader overcome doubts and negativity that have prevented them from living the life and career they’ve always desired. This book will transform your thinking. 

Participants can book their place on the September masterclass at: https://bernardhiller.com/acting-classes/london/. Space is limited and there is an interview process.

From the Frontlines to the Screen: How West Texas Hospitals Became National Models of Crisis Leadership

Published

on

In the vast and often unforgiving expanse of West Texas, healthcare doesn’t come easy. Resources are stretched, patients are sometimes hours away from care, and trauma doesn’t wait for convenience. Yet, against the odds, two hospitals—Medical Center Hospital in Odessa and Pecos County Memorial Hospital in Fort Stockton—are quietly transforming what it means to lead in rural emergency medicine. Their work, now drawing national attention thanks to the Amazon Prime docuseries Desert Doc, is setting a new benchmark in crisis leadership and trauma care.

What makes these institutions exceptional isn’t just their location or their patient volume—it’s their unwavering ability to deliver high-stakes medical care with limited resources, tight budgets, and enormous responsibility. In this region, where oil rigs outnumber ambulances and car crashes are all too common, fast, effective emergency response can mean the difference between life and death.

What’s behind their success? It’s a powerful blend of visionary leadership, courageous medical direction, and a culture built on resilience and adaptability. Leading the way are CEOs Russell Tippin of Medical Center Hospital and Betsy Briscoe of Pecos County Memorial Hospital—trailblazers who have pushed the boundaries of innovation in rural healthcare. Partnering with them are dedicated physicians like Dr. Sudip Bose, whose frontline experience as an US Army combat physician in Iraq shapes his calm, decisive approach to crisis care. As seen in Desert Doc, Dr. Bose is part of a committed network of clinicians who view rural emergency medicine not just as a career, but as a calling. 

While the show Desert Doc brings these high-pressure moments to life on screen, what it also reveals is the remarkable strength of the systems behind the scenes. Pecos County Memorial Hospital, for instance, may be smaller in scale, but its impact is no less profound. Their medical staff routinely stabilize and save patients in conditions that would challenge even the best-equipped urban centers. Their coordination with air medical services, cross-training of rural clinicians, and integration of battlefield-inspired trauma techniques demonstrate a playbook that larger hospitals could learn from.

The pandemic further spotlighted these hospitals’ leadership under pressure. Medical Center Hospital quickly adapted to shifting protocols, staff shortages, and overwhelming patient volumes. Their response earned praise from both state and federal health authorities, showing that rural facilities can be agile and innovative in ways that larger systems often struggle to match.

The growing interest in Desert Doc isn’t just about entertainment—it’s a window into the reality of rural healthcare, and the hospitals and people rising to meet that reality every day. While the series centers on Dr. Bose’s gripping, real-time cases, the true story is broader. It’s about a region’s commitment to resilience. It’s about hospitals doing more with less—and doing it with excellence.

As the spotlight shines on these stories, one thing becomes clear: West Texas hospitals are no longer just local lifelines. They are national models of what’s possible when leadership, courage, and innovation collide.
