NAMM 2025 Workshop
Self-doubt is the invisible barrier every artist faces—but it doesn’t have to hold you back. At this year’s NAMM Show, I had the incredible opportunity to lead a workshop on this universal challenge.
Whether you’re a college student, an emerging musician, or an established creative wrestling with your inner critic, this workshop is for you.
What’s Inside the Workshop?
The truth about self-doubt: Why even the biggest stars like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and Adele wrestle with it.
The 4 big types of self-doubt that hold us back: Not good enough, option paralysis, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome.
How musicians are particularly vulnerable to self-doubt—and why it can feel so personal.
The surprising upside of doubt and how it can fuel growth.
A simple method to reframe and work with your doubt, step by step.
Dozens of examples of my client’s self-doubt names for inspiration
In this workshop, I provide an actionable approach to working with self-doubt with more compassion:
Name your doubt to disarm its power.
Write to your doubt to take back control.
Rekindle your purpose to stay inspired and connected.
Build a healthy mindset, manage your energy, and create a strong support network.
Why Download the Talk?
This isn’t just a motivational speech; it’s a practical guide to navigating self-doubt and transforming it into a tool for growth. As a drummer, songwriter, executive coach, and author (Doubt Riding Shotgun), I’ve lived this journey firsthand. I’ve wrestled with self-doubt at every stage of my career, from being a VP at major music companies to starting my songwriting journey at 50.
If I’ve learned anything, it’s that self-doubt doesn’t have to stop you. You can learn to work with it—and even thrive because of it.
