Fight Your Fear And Win.
Nearly everyone has experienced that make-it-or-break-it, career-defining moment: on the brink of landing a big deal, poised at the starting gate, under the spotlight waiting to speak or perform in front of our peers. At this point, where everything seems to be on the line, most people experience one overriding reaction: fear. Unfortunately, that fear can often cause defeat no matter how well-rehearsed, studied or prepared an individual might be. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Greene shares the proven techniques he has used with Olympic athletes, Grand Prix drivers, students of The Juilliard School, Colburn School, and New World Symphony to help them perform their best under pressure.
Audition Success.
Audition Success chronicles the story of two musicians – a horn player and a mezzo-soprano – as they learn how to prepare for important auditions (the Houston Symphony and the Chicago Lyric Opera, respectively). These performers employed the same techniques and proven strategies Dr. Greene has taught to Olympic and professional athletes and other performers to perform well under extreme pressure. Audition Success is based on the artists’ transcribed conversations with Dr. Greene during an intensive two-month training period. These tested methods may be used to gather deeper insights and perform at the highest level when it counts the most.

Assessments.
Do you know what keeps you from doing your best? There’s no need to guess when it comes to something so important. Before you are able to work on improving your skills, you need to determine what your relative strengths and weaknesses are. That’s where the right Assessment comes in, similar to taking an X-ray, CT Scan, or MRI before taking corrective health measures.
Which Assessment you take depends on your specialty and goals. There are different online Assessments for performing artists, students, and executives. Each Assessment takes less than 10-15 minutes to complete. They all use a series of questions scientifically designed by Dr. Greene to measure the mental skill sets involved in achieving excellence in the performing arts and business.
Immediately after completing the appropriate Assessment, you will receive your personal performance profile. The unique profile will graphically portray your individual strengths and areas for improvement and the next steps you can take to perform better in your specialty.

Centering Training
The core strategy taught by Dr. Greene is known as Centering. The Centering process has proven effective in helping performing artists to focus and channel their nervous energy into winning auditions and peak performances. Centering is a powerful focusing strategy, based on the Japanese martial art of Aikido and western sports psychology. Centering helps performing artists control their breathing, reduce muscles tension, switch from left brain to right, quiet their minds, and direct their performance energy under pressure to achieve peak performance.
The Center Course includes beginning, intermediate, and advanced Centering Down, Centering Up, and Simulation Training. A workbook is included to track your progress with written instructions and practice recommendations.
