Expert coach, sound healer, vocalist, author of Coaching for Performance Excellence, and host of The Soulfull Sound podcast, Simone Niles joins Alexa on Singing Teachers Talk. Simone’s work includes empowering soul-driven creatives and entrepreneurs to generate meaning in their work and life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- From the age of seven, Simone knew she wanted to be a singer and she did everything she could to pursue it. At 21, she moved to the UK to study. When she told her university that she wanted to teach there, they told her to go away for two years and get some experience. Two years later Simone returned with a list of all the experience she’d gained in that time.
- Failure is feedback. No matter what you do in life, you will fail at something. You need to take on board what that experience is showing you about yourself. What feels true to you?
- Getting a ‘no’ builds your character more than a ‘yes’; it allows you to move and refine your character for the next time. You can be disappointed but don’t let rejection stop you. You grow when you get knocked down and have the ability to get back up and go again.
BEST MOMENTS
