Before any artist and their manager hires me they have usually hit a point where change is crucial for the long-term success of their careers, tours and overall wellbeing.
Here are the 3 vital lessons artists and their teams learn in the first 2 weeks of working with me, and why it’s crucial for wellbeing and longevity;
1. What cultivating RADICAL self-care looks and feels like and how to create it as a habit
With the overwhelm and reality of being in the spotlight your body, energy and mind is forced to catch up. We are not prepared for the chaos and often trauma is triggered when living in the spotlight in high-intensity environments. Through cultivating unwavering self-care my clients create a structure for self care which immediately dissolves anxiety, stress and imposter syndrome.
2. The importance of highly effective COMMUNICATION as a touring team
Communicating effectively is the KEY to cohesion, trust and longevity. Quite often communication under pressure is reactive and leads to unwanted problems with GREAT people. My simple methods for effective listening and communicating will completely change the dynamics of the group (for the long haul).
3. RESILIENCE is not about being stronger. It’s about being vulnerable and feeling worthy of success so you can come back stronger every time
Leaning into your edges of self-awareness where you would usually run is the ONLY way to sustain a dynamic career. Carving out time for coaching whilst on tour will save you from burnout mentally. The decisions you make are stepping stones to fulfilling your highest potential OR pulling you further away.
"Coaching is priceless and alters the entire tour experience" - from the words of one of my clients.
If you have a career that takes you around the world with gruelling schedules – you’ll want to understand and embody the energetics of sustainability.
This is the “how-to” swim in the deep end of chaos, remain grounded and in control of your emotions sustaining the dream you worked SO HARD FOR.
