Evolution of my Coaching

I’ve worn many hats during my time in the entertainment industry.

 

After studying Acting across the world, from London to LA, I went to film school and I wrote my dissertation on Method Acting. 

 

I’ve worked in production, building and managing the crew – which should just be called ‘expectation management’, but the film industry likes to keep things sounding glam. After that, I spent several years in casting, dealing directly with actors, finding and supporting talent. 

 

The more time I spent in the room with actors, the more obsessed I became with confidence. Who has it? Who doesn't? Why do some people seem to have it by the bucket load and others struggle for a drop? I re-entered the world of education with a new agenda and I opened an actors’ studio, 'The Shed Ldn', with confidence as the primary focus. 

 

As time went on, I realised this wasn't about the actor, this was about the person. I was first and foremost helping the individual, by creating a safe space for them to explore and (re)discover themselves. It was, and still is, my belief you cannot successfully evolve into someone else – whether that be a character or your desired future self – if you don't first accept who you are and where you are right now.

 

Successful people, not just actors, have been acting since the dawn of time. If we can put aside what we know and understand that the very origin of the term 'to act' translates to 'to stretch’, not 'to fake' or 'wear a mask’, perhaps then we can understand it is something we all want, right?

 

To stretch ourselves? To learn, grow and evolve? 

 

To see an opportunity and take it?

My Story

Growing up, I wanted to be an Actor. I loved "being someone else", which is how it starts for many aspiring Actors with complicated beginnings. I’d describe my childhood as colourful. My early life was difficult. The core theme was neglect with some harsher events peppered in for some tough therapy sessions later in life – and a very solid sarcastic flare.

 

After tackling acting in my teens and early 20s, I realised what I was doing was hurting myself with more rejection and therefore a continuation of the deep-embedded feeling of not being "good enough". It was doing nothing for my quality of life and I desperately need to change that otherwise, I risked repeating generational mistakes – and that just wouldn't do.

 

I was extremely fortunate enough to have that line of thinking early on, because your 20s is still very young and early in a healing journey. I felt very passionately about two things: I didn't want to leave the entertainment industry altogether because I understood creative people more than any other group, and I wanted to be useful. While that sounds honourable, it was as much to be useful to myself as it was to others. I learned along the way that the more I became my own ‘caregiver’, the more genuinely useful I became to others.

 

During my journey of self-discovery, finding my purpose and honing my unique craft, I have picked up a lot of skills and done a lot of things. I am a keen traveller. I've lost count of how many messages I get from clients that read "Which time zone are you in right now?". 

 

I’ve run off with the circus TWICE. I ran away to upstate New York to coach young fire performers and the fire shows at French Woods Performing Arts Camp. I have finished Film School with a first class honors degree, despite only having one good GSCE and barely getting by during my A Levels.

 

I have become a Casting Associate, produced a feature film, and been a part of a team that won a Berlin Bear at Berlinale. I have packed a bag and a one-way ticket to Australia to find estranged family – a successful and heartwarming achievement.

 

I have worked in one of the most successful Casting Offices, Sophie Holland CSA, and now am an Associate to Sophie's former-Associate, Finnian Tweed. Together, we’ve worked on Den Of Thieves 2 with Gerard Butler, Mary with Anthony Hopkins and Levon's Trade with Jason Statham.

 

I’ve been on tour as a coach twice with The Australia Film and TV Academy, established my signature course blending industry knowledge with NLP/CBT and worked with hundreds of Actors. I continue to study coaching disciplines and am one of the most well-rounded coaches that works within the Entertainment industry. I’m not just notably successful because of the names I am associated with, but because I work extremely hard in making sure what I practice and preach is regulated.

 

I am successful professionally, for no more reason that is more important that I really love my job. It is job that didn't exist until I created it. There is nothing I am more proud of being: the person that people what to share their wins with, no matter how big or small. I believe that people think of me as their safe space to be proud of themselves and celebrate themselves – as you should.
