The Self-Led Performer.

Resilience & Presence Training 

Step into your spotlight with confidence, clarity, and calm.

Whether you’re fresh out of drama school, preparing for a reality TV show, or finding your feet on set, The Self-Led Performer helps you thrive, not just perform.

This unique training combines real-world performance insight from Carley Stenson-Greene (West End & TV actress) with Thrive Life Coaching’s proven tools for resilience, wellbeing, and self-leadership.

Because success in this industry isn’t just about talent, it’s about mindset, presence, and sustainable confidence

You’ve worked hard to master your craft. But many emerging performers discover that technical skill alone isn’t enough. Navigating auditions, agents, self-tapes, rejection, and the pressure to “make it” can feel overwhelming. Without tools to manage your mindset and energy, it’s easy to lose confidence or direction.

This programme bridges that gap! Empowering you to step into your professional life with authenticity, resilience, and self-leadership.

1. Leading Your Entry: Agents, Auditions & Self-Tapes

  • How to approach agents with confidence.

  • Self-tape setup, delivery, and standout strategies.

  • Audition etiquette and preparation tips from real industry experience.

2. Owning the Role: Character, Script & Confidence

  • Script and character breakdown techniques.

  • Bringing authenticity and presence to your performance.

  • Staying calm, focused, and adaptable in auditions.

3. On Set: Professionalism & Presence

  • Understanding call sheets, departments, and on-set expectations.

  • Adapting to industry language and culture.

  • Simulated set practice to build confidence and professionalism.

4. Resilience & Self-Leadership Tools

  • Managing nerves, rejection, and industry pressure.

  • Building daily habits for mental and emotional balance.

  • Leading yourself with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Who It’s For

  • Drama and performing arts graduates preparing to go professional.

  • Early-career actors or creatives feeling stuck or overlooked.

  • Individuals entering the spotlight for the first time (e.g. reality TV, stage, theatre).

  • Ideal for performers who want to grow both their craft and their confidence.

  • For those seeking both artistic excellence and emotional resilience.

Hey, i’m Suzi, a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Coaching and Hypnosis, Author, and Facilitator, I am passionate about empowering people to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, self-compassion, and clarity. My journey, both personal and professional, has shown me the power of self-coaching, intention setting, and aligning with natural cycles to create meaningful change, stronger connections, and life-work balance.

With over 25 years of coaching experience, Thrive Life Coaching helps individuals, small businesses, and communities unlock potential, embrace daily self-care, and thrive in all life areas.

My approach blends coaching, mindfulness, and energy alignment, empowering you to move past resistance and into expansion, because true transformation comes when we learn to support ourselves from the inside out.
