Sales Trainer, Coach, Public Speaker
Crafting the language to create the change you want to see in the world.
Sales Trainer
Selling is just talking with a purpose. In the most traditional sense, you are asking for a transaction, money for a service or product. Yet so many get caught up in the nuance and miss the forest for the trees. Having trained hundreds of professionals in a variety of industries, positions, and points in their careers, Bailie sheds light on the sales process as a whole, the individual steps, and the individual words. You can never hear yourself the way others hear you, the same way a top athlete can’t see their form the way someone else can. Bailie works collaboratively to bridge the gap between personal style (crucial!) and business objectives.
It’s great to see the progress early. You are making such an impact, Bailie!!

Public Speaking, Financial Literacy
Bailie has spoken at over 50 venues including college alumni and undergrads, Broadway and touring shows, theatre education programs, financial institutions, startups, and more on the themes of financial wellness.
After booking my first commercial theatre gig in 2013, I connected with Bailie. I wanted to do this financial “thing” correctly. With her incredible guidance and support, I now have a multi-layered financial portfolio that I never thought was possible to achieve as an artist. Because of Bailie, I was/am financially prepared for downtime in between work, a global pandemic when theatre was shutdown; we continue to crush goals to this day. You do not have to do this alone. Bailie is the ultimate financial companion for any artist.

Entertaining Finance
Bailie’s Financial Advising practice from 2005-2022. Specializing in working with the entertainment industry.
Balancing work, life, and creative activities is tough to do in New York City. Bailie Slevin talks about handling money differently than other financial advisers because she's spent time in both the theater and finance industries. She understood immediately where I've been and where I want to go. She helped me create a plan that brings more balance to my finances beyond my checkbook.

Blogs and Podcasts
Never afraid of an audience, Bailie has been featured on numerous Blogs, Podcasts and served as the Financial Expert for Backstage.com.
When I first met Bailie (Financial Wellness Companion Founder) my finances needed a reboot. I was reading lots of information from dozens of sources on what I should be doing but had no idea where to start or what made sense for my situation. She was able to help me understand where I was at that moment and what I needed to do to set me up for a better financial future step by step. It's been 5 years and I am in a much better financial place than when I first met her and I always look forward to our calls.
