THE UNEXPECTED EXPERT-THE JOURNEY
Innovator • Producer • Advocate • Speaker
Pamela Grossman is an innovator of marketing programs, print, TV and radio producer, web designer, book publisher — and an unexpected expert in panic disorder and ADA law.
As a public speaker, she inspires audiences to get out of their own way and find success in business and life, no matter the obstacles. She also educates businesses and government offices on ADA law and how to comply when it comes to service animals.
A Career Built on Storytelling and Strategy
With more than 28 years of experience, Pamela has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Turner Broadcasting, Disney, and BellSouth. Her career began in casting and production, where she thrived on creativity and storytelling.
But when severe panic disorder changed everything, Pamela was forced to reinvent herself — and reshape her professional path to meet new realities.
Reinvention in Action
Pamela founded In the Present, a boutique marketing and production studio with clients worldwide. Her struggle with panic disorder also led her to launch UnwrappingPanic.com in 2011, an online resource that continues to provide comfort and information for those living with anxiety disorders.
She later produced ADA Law: The Training Video, a landmark resource designed to help businesses and government offices comply with the law regarding service animals. The video features actor Joe Washington, award-nominated stage actress Christy Baggett, Aimee Copeland, and several talented individuals with disabilities — alongside Pamela’s first service dog, Milo.
