Jellybean Hires Career Coach, Agents Say

In a press conference last night, the Jellybean's co-agents announced they had retained a new career coach for the Jellybean. This new coach, a highly-regarded woman named Van Vleck, works out of an organization called Spring Valley Pediatrics. The Jellybean's father and co-agent praised the organization and revealed he had spent much of his early years working closely with this same group. "I know my career was never as promising as the Jellybean's, but I spent my youth with this same group of career coaches and had a very positive experience. If they were good enough for me, they will do a fine job for the Jellybean."

Both co-agents emphasized this new hiring had nothing to do with the ongoing relationship with the Jellybean's talent coaches. "Talent coaching and career coaching are two very different areas of expertise," our industry observer commented. "Lightfoote and her partners [the Jellybean's current talent coaches] are critical to this star's debut. Still, after the debut is done, you'll see their role transition to advising more the Jellybean's agents and less the Jellybean herself. In particular, I expect the Jellybean's co-agent/mother to have an ongoing relationship with Lightfoote." Regardless of how the specifics work out, it is clear the Jellybean continues to amass a formidable group of advisors.
