what does Hollywood have to do with confidence?
My many years working in the Hollywood film industry left me with a mindset that radiated confidence, allowing me to trust myself, have no fear when facing uncertainty, and be unapologetically authentic
That mindset is the lodestar that guides me through life and I help high-achieving women in leadership positions cultivate that hugely powerful mindset without ever having to go anywhere near Hollywood
imagine what it would be like if -
You knew you already have what it takes to be the leader you wanted to be
because you were no longer existing on autopilot in an invisible feedback loop?
You understood exactly what made you capable of achieving the things you do
because you owned all your accomplishments and weren’t guilty articulating them?
You weren’t scared to death of uncertainty and avoided taking perceived risks
because you could see the similarities that made unfamiliar things already known?
You weren’t always stressed and anxious and frustrated about the future
because you’d stopped trying to control everything to obtain specific outcomes?
You never doubted yourself or second-guessed your decisions ever again
because you’d been shown that you are completely safe when trusting yourself?
You didn’t endlessly compare yourself to other people and consistently come up short
because you knew your authenticity and not people’s opinions, makes you enough?
Working in the brutal environment of the Hollywood film industry isn’t easy –
the hours are grueling
the egos are challenging
the results are non-negotiable
the working conditions are strenuous
the next job we get is always an unknown
Each new movie or TV show we work on –
has a different script
has a different location
has a different film studio
has a different cast and crew
has a different set of challenges
Success for us means having a mindset that radiates confidence and self-trust, while embracing our authenticity
And that mindset comes from acquiring and developing some extremely powerful tools –
We aren’t trapped in an invisible feedback loop and mindlessly existing on autopilot because each movie we work on has different requirements we must adapt to
We fully own our accomplishments and don’t guilt trip about acknowledging them because they got us where we are and confidence in our abilities gets us hired
We’ve trained ourselves to perceive similarities instead of differences in everything because seeing similarities guarantees our success on each movie we work on
We know exactly what we’re capable of so we don’t have to fear uncertainty or risk because we’ve learned that we can trust ourselves and the decisions we make
We feel confident and at ease living as our unapologetically authentic selves because we know we’re recognized and valued for our unique brilliance
Needless to say, most women don’t work in a brutal environment like the Hollywood film industry
But their workplace is filled with toxic bosses, demanding clients, and competitive colleagues
and here's the thing -
These powerful tools are actually universal but they’re things most women never think about because –
- It’s simply easier to exist on autopilot in an invisible feedback loop of what’s known
- We are taught not to acknowledge our accomplishments and not talk about them
- We don’t question our insistence that people and things are dissimilar or different
- We don’t trust ourselves or our decisions, and we are fearful of uncertainty and risk
- We’re constantly comparing ourselves to others and then decide we’re inadequate
I’ve worked with so many high-achieving women in leadership positions who frequently experience sporadic swings in confidence, random spurts of self-doubt, stunningly severe people-pleasing issues, annoyingly persistent bouts of imposter syndrome, and profoundly disturbing musings about their worthiness
They’re women who’ve built incredible things and know how to get stuff done. They’re women who lead teams, launch big ideas, and hit impressive milestones. They’re crushin’ it on paper and yet underneath that shiny polished surface, they’re quietly navigating success on the outside, but still questioning themselves on the inside
And the worst part is, they don’t know all that shit just stops when they hold these powerful tools in their hands…
That’s what I mean when I say that I see you and I know you and it’s the reason I created my Hollywood Confidence programs
my backstory -
When I burned out, I ran away from my high-paying, soul-sucking Hollywood film industry job with no intention of ever looking back, and every intention of totally eradicating the experience as though it had never happened
Instead, I chose to embark on an adventure that took me from LA to Asia, then to India, and eventually to Eastern and Western Europe before returning to the US nearly ten years later and very much wiser about who I was
I encountered many challenging scenarios that finally got me to see how my job in Hollywood had engendered a mindset that radiated confidence, and how authenticity was the lodestar guiding me wherever I went
Confidence is my jam and helping women remember who they truly are to regain their confidence, their self-trust, and see how great it feels to be their unapologetically authentic selves is pretty much my mission in life
My programs are definitely not about ego-coddling therapy sessions, or hand-holding strategy meetings, or the cliche-laden superficial conversations that abound in traditional coaching practices
They’re inspiring spaces of discovery, insight, and expansion that are completely relaxed, filled with humor, and devoid of judgment, while being totally real, highly focused, and very explicit
I created my signature Hollywood Confidence programs in celebration of your unapologetically authentic self – the powerful, confident, uniquely brilliant creator of your life, your success, and your vision for the future
Hollywood Confidence helps you remember who you actually are so you can regain your confidence, your self-trust, and joy in being your unapologetically authentic self to realign your inner truth with your outward success
I created it based on my life in the film industry to help you develop –
an attitude that embraces worthiness
a mindset that radiates confidence
ease at being your authentic self
I lay it all out for you without any –
devaluing drama
bullshit jargon
trivial platitudes
in a way that you don’t have to to figure it all out for yourself
And the fact that you can achieve results in a matter of months is worth celebrating…
