One thing I’ve learnt about listening recently…
Most people don’t listen anywhere near as well as they think they do.
Including me.
The solution?
Keep revisiting the above…

Dear social media,
To the reader who engages to disagree, or agree, or reinforce a belief - I love you.
To the reader who engages with a true (rare) humility and openness - I salute you.

"If you're a COACH and someone wants to work with you, and you've got space for clients, and you don't coach them...you're not a coach. You're NOT a professional."

Perhaps...the ultimate student knows that between "I know this" and "I don't know this" exists "there are infinite levels".

Q: What helps you feel comfortable and confident on stage?
A: By NOT thinking about how comfortable and confident you are on stage.
The less thinking you have, the more your innate confidence and comfort are unveiled.

I believe that the world's most influential artists are, by implication, already leaders. For at least the last 40 years, all the greatest leaders have also had executive coaching.

I truly believe that as we embed a coaching culture within the music industry (and within music education) it will elevate all musicians, and, ultimately, empower the whole industry.
Every professional musician is a business owner. Every business owner is a sales person. Every sales person is a leader.
THERAPY is about settling the past
TEACHING is about skills and knowledge
MENTORING is about professional growth
COACHING is about discovering your full potential

Confidence isn’t a state you need to pursue. Nor is it an essential pre-requisite for success. Its never something you need to ‘work on’. It’s far deeper than that. Confidence is simply the mind uncontaminated by personal thinking.

Remember - certainty isn’t a virtue.
The more ‘certain’ you are the less coachable you are. The less open to new possibilities you are. The less of a learner you can be.
