Today we’d like to introduce you to Melissa Boher Jacobson.
Hi Melissa, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey as a coach began 26 years ago, when I was asked to coach someone for an important audition, after several years, I realized that my students and clients were leaving my studio, very different than how they entered, with much more self-esteem and confidence. That’s when I realize that was my life’s work, and I began to add more and more tools and techniques to my toolbox to help both performers and people in life in 2018. I began my journey as a hypnotherapist, eventually becoming a Clinical Hypnotherapist/Confident Life Coach and began incorporating hypnosis, direct suggestion, and NLP into my work with singers and performers creating a unique program called HypnoSong™️, as well as developing several other programs and protocols designed to help people with self-esteem confidence and particularly to help people with ADHD and neurodiversity thrive and succeed
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As a self employed entrepreneur, with little to no business background, I had to learn through experience, how to become a successful six figure businesswoman. There’s no one more surprised than me, an artistic gal from the Pacific Northwest, that I have been able to do so, and continue to do so. I would say the biggest challenge along the way, was learning to trust myself, and believe in my abilities to always create success and income, and ride the roller coaster of being in business as an entrepreneur. Interestingly, even during the most challenging periods, including 2020, I have managed to consistently create success, as a solo practitioner. I believe this is due to the fact that I have always instinctively known that belief, is the most important part of success, along with, and supported by constantly upgrading my knowledge and consistently upgrading knowledge and skills, so that I can best serve the needs of my clients.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a Life Coach, Hypnotherapist and Emotional Intelligence trainer.
I own two companies, Confident Performance, Coaching, which is focused on supporting performing artists of all ages have the mindset and the skills to succeed on stage and off. We support a variety of performers with audition preparation, as well as singers, actors, public speakers of all ages and people who are interviewing for jobs and colleges, through a combination of performing arts skills training, confident mindset coaching, emotional intelligence and NLP.
In my other business, Confident Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy, I specialize in working with kids, families, neurodiverse and ADHD clients, using a combination of Hypnosis, NLP, Emotional Intelligence Training, and Executive Function strategies and mentoring, to help clients release unwanted emotions, issues, past events, and beliefs so they can go from being stuck to being successful in life, work and relationships.
I have a new program that combines both the performing arts and personal development, that I am especially excited about in collaboration with my dear friend Daniel Hendrick.
This program, The Voice of Knowing™️ is a transformative workshop, exploring voice, song, consciousness, expression, and the power of inner knowing. This is being presented as a series of workshops, a membership program and a retreat.
What does success mean to you?
I believe that success starts with belief or attitude. Skills and knowledge are crucial, but they do not bring success without self belief and self trust.
Success for me is defined by the ability to maintain balance and emotional equilibrium, and the ability to successfully COPE with circumstances and challenges. This is the foundation of emotional, physical, mental AND financial success.
I believe that failure IS an option and a necessary part of success.
I also believe that FEAR IS NOT AN OPTION.
