So you want to be a copywriter with Bernadette Schwerdt COPYWRITER 093: How to manage fear, anxiety and imposter syndrome with the star of Phantom of the Opera, Josh Piterman
Josh Piterman is no stranger to pressure. As the only Australian to play both the Phantom in London’s West End and Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, he knows what it’s like to perform at elite levels and what it takes to keep showing up when your inner critic won’t sit down.
Now also a coach, author, and podcast host, Josh shares how mindset, breathwork, meditation and self-awareness have transformed not only his performances but also his life. In this episode, we go deep into:
- The crossover between performers and high-performing leaders
- What really fuels imposter syndrome, and how to shift it
- Using breathwork and heart rate variability to handle fear and stress
- The difference between achievement and fulfilment
- Josh’s “6 Ps” of performance, and why play matters more than perfection
- Behind the Mask: Why Josh wrote his deeply personal memoir-meets-self-help guide
- Why vulnerability is the most underrated leadership tool
Whether you're heading into a boardroom, onto a stage, or just trying to show up more authentically in life, this conversation is a masterclass in mindset.
