Problem faced:

I reached out to Olivier when I was struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and a constant habit of comparing myself to others. This cycle of self-comparison fueled a victim mentality and reinforced negative feelings about myself, making it tough to focus on my own growth and achievements. I felt stuck, unable to make meaningful progress personally or professionally.

Impact it had:

A big part of the problem stemmed from deeply ingrained thought patterns. My need for perfectionism and competitive mindset shaped by my experiences in the music industry kept me doubting myself and constantly comparing myself to others. This mindset affected not just my mental health but also my career, as I battled with low self-esteem. Focusing on others instead of my own growth became a major barrier to achieving my goals, leaving me anxious and demotivated. If I continued down this path, my career would come to a complete standstill, and the mental toll was already impacting my creativity and overall well-being.

Solution worked on:

Olivier helped me break these patterns by guiding me to recognize and challenge thought processes that were no longer serving me. He helped me identify the triggers fueling my anxiety and perfectionism, shift my focus from comparison to self-improvement, and develop tools to step back from situations where I felt overwhelmed. Most importantly, he created a space where I felt completely at ease, allowing me to explore my challenges openly and feel fully supported throughout the process.

Impact of result:

Through our time together, I shifted my mindset from comparing myself to others to focusing on my own daily progress and self-improvement. I developed a deeper understanding of my triggers and learned effective strategies to manage them. As a result, I gained mental clarity, which allowed me to take a more balanced approach to challenges. I also learned to step back and avoid overanalyzing everything, reducing my anxiety significantly. The coaching process was incredible—Olivier’s life experiences and insight into the unique pressures of fields like the music industry made a truly transformative impact.
