“I attended your recent presentation on Performance Courage at the UWA Day of Guitar. It was really interesting and inspiring. Definitely the best presentation I have attended on the topic. I loved that the information was at an appropriate level of complexity but presented in a way that was easy to understand. I’m also so excited to see performance anxiety reframed as “Performance Courage”.

“Placing the issues in the context of the physiology. The clear structure of descriptions, problems and then how to address them.”

”Engaging and incredibly well-researched. The focus on nerves being ok, accepting all emotions and unpacking overwhelm were of interest, as many people label performance anxiety as a negative and something that should be avoided.”

“It is relevant to today, social media etc adaptable to education. Important for teachers and students. Enjoyed the dry humour and jokes. The speaker was clearly passionate and motivated on the topic which further helped audience engagement.”

“Re-emphasised the destress exercises I've used over the years are backed by science. That's why they work. Recognising "bad" feelings are meant to happen and [that it's good for us to feel stress. It was very well-presented.”
