Hi, I’m Josh.
I’m a coach, filmmaker and actor
During my training, I realised how many of my coach and therapist colleagues had great ideas for video but didn’t know where to begin.
They wanted to create resources for their clients to use in between sessions, tutorials for their websites, on-demand courses, workshops, hypnotherapy recordings, YouTube channels…
…but the tech felt overwhelming, the process felt confusing, and the idea of being on camera made them want to hide.
Even with my background in acting, as someone who is more introvert than extrovert, I found showing up as myself talking about my coaching service a whole different experience!
When people see and hear us in video content, it brings us and our service to life, cultivating trust.
It’s helpful to remember that, when watching our videos, existing clients just want to recognise the person they know from their sessions with us, and prospective clients just want to see if we are someone they could work with.
My goal
With video, especially with the technical side of things, there's so much 'stuff' that can get in the way and frustrate us. As helping practitioners, creating safe, authentic spaces for people is about presence, connection and flow - qualities that can often feel completely at odds with cameras, lights and mics.
Yet video is an essential tool, not just for making us more visible online, but for adding a further layer of support for our existing clients. It can also allow us the opportunity to diversity our income and create more space for creativity and freedom as business owners.
So I thought I would combine my 20+ years of experience in video and performance with my coaching skills to start Holistic Video Confidence.
More than just teaching you how to make high quality video, the deeper goal is to empower you to bring that same quality of presence you hold in your client sessions or trainings into the videos you create.
