FIND YOUR AUTHENTIC DNA AS A LEADER
Take ownership, adapt to challenges, and lead a positive impact with confidence using
The Spotlight Mindset.
The Spotlight Mindset enhances who you are organically through improv coaching in order to face challenges head on with or without a script. As you think about the impact and resolution you aim to achieve, we will work together to develop your natural leadership traits while putting them to work in practice. You’ll move beyond your inner obstacles to show up for yourself and others feeling your best with the most clear perception.
It won’t feel strange — it’s the real you
Learning the language of leadership can help you "fake it 'til you make it," but you might always feel like you're putting on a show. Improv coaching using The Spotlight Mindset doesn't turn you into an actor—it does the opposite. It helps you use the skills of acting in a coaching environment, to get clarity about who you really are. We'll work together to help you practice, just like an actor would, foregrounding the traits you really want to focus on. And you’ll think about your posture, your tone, and how you present yourself.
By the time we've completed our work, you'll do all of these things naturally, and you'll take this new best self into the world, ready for whatever challenge is next—even being editor-in-chief.
