A Performer Mindset coach is a specialized coach who works with performers, helping them to develop the mindset skills and tools required to succeed in their chosen field. They focus on helping performers overcome limiting beliefs, fears, and anxieties that might be holding them back from reaching their full potential. They also help performers build authentic confidence, manage the highs and lows that come with the career, and create a clear path forward in their own unique life and career! Ideally, after working with the Performer Mindset coach for a period of time, the client will learn tools to coach themselves through future challenges.
A Performer Mindset coach can help in many ways, including:
Self-talk: Inner Critic to Inner Coach: Performers tend to be quite hard on themselves, giving the inner critical voice a lot of power. This keeps you small and holds you back in countless ways! Learn how to recognize the critic, understand and unravel it's origins, and learn a clear system on how to shift those thoughts into your own inner coach.
Overcoming fear and anxiety: Performance anxiety and nerves are common among performers. A Performer Mindset coach teaches performers tools to overcome these fears so they can perform at their best in the moments that count.
Navigating rejection, failure and setbacks: The industry can be difficult and unpredictable, with plenty of rejection and setbacks along the way. A Performer Mindset coach teaches performers how to build a resilient mindset, which is integral for longevity and fulfillment in one’s life and career.
Building authentic confidence: A Performer Mindset coach can help performers discover what they truly have to offer by exploring their uniqueness and authenticity. This helps performers build authentic confidence and truly own themselves and their career. It's time to play bigger!
Create a plan for the future: When you get clear, you get confident. Work with Alexandra to figure out where you want to be in the business, how that intersects with your wants in your life off stage/screen, and create an actionable plan on how to get there. A Performer Mindset coach will help you identify what makes life fulfilling outside of work, so you experience joy and fulfillment in all aspects of life! Is performing what I want to do forever? Do I want to take my performing career in a different direction? It's okay to have lots of big questions! Answering these questions helps performers find balance, and relieves pressure.
The main difference between a Performer Mindset coach and a therapist is in the approach each take to helping their clients. In simple terms, a therapist starts where you are and works backwards, helping you understand and identify the events, circumstances and relationships that affect how you’re feeling today. A Performer Mindset coach starts where you are and works forward, helping you identify the things you truly want in your life and how to get there. Certified Perfomer Mindset coaches use an action-oriented approach that focuses on setting goals and taking steps to achieve them. A Performer Mindset coach has also experienced many of the same things as the performer, so can greatly tailor the coaching sessions and material.
