A former performer herself, author Ciara Pressler explains how she transitioned careers successfully and shares her principles of smart career strategy.
EXIT STAGE RIGHT features interviews with career transition experts, career consultants, business coaches, and performers who have successfully navigated a career transition both within and out of the entertainment industry.

- Position themselves as a strong candidate in a new industry
- Break through obstacles that keep performers stuck
