Billion’s Wendy Rhoads Illustrates the Value a Performance Coach Brings to a Stock Trading Hedge Fund

July 09, 2019 - /PressAdvantage/ - Billions, Showtime’s exclusive series, features the dog-eat-dog world of Wall Street hedge funds. One of the leading characters, Wendy Rhoades, played by Maggie Siff, works as the Axe Capital in-house performance coach. As a psychiatrist by trade, Wendy combines a keen intellect with a deep understanding of human nature. Hedge Fund Manager, Bobby Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis, appreciates her as one of the most valuable employees of his firm.

Performance coaching by experienced licensed psychologists and therapists is nothing new for Wall Street professionals. Professional traders often seek to maintain their trading edge and function at peak performance. For example, Stock Trading School offers customized courses and coaching led by professional psychologists that are geared towards developing a resilient mindset for high performing stock traders. The school’s Integrative Rule-Based Trading Mindset methodology helps investors increase their self-confidence, lower their anxiety, attain positive attitude and maximize profits. Students acquire the necessary skills and empower their mind to thrive and flourish increasing their ability to become high performing traders, investors, and individuals.

Wendy Rhoads highlights how stock traders can improve their strategic thinking by having a clear and positive mindset growing beyond their negative beliefs and habits. When she is talking with one of the traders, who is struggling, she says, “You're just listening to the wrong voice. You're tuned in to the one yelling at you over the loudspeaker that you're stupid, and you're ignoring the quiet one, inside, telling you where the alpha is. Now, that's the voice that got you here.” Alpha is what professional stock traders seek – it provides the highest stock trading and investment returns.

In another interesting scene, Wendy Rhoads tells one of the traders, “If you’re successful enough, people think you can do anything, and then you start to believe it, too. It’s hard not to engage in a little magical thinking when everyone else is looking at you like you’re some combination of Warren Buffet and God above.”

Arguably, Wendy Rhoads is the most intriguing and powerful character in the show. She is the glue that holds everything together at Axe Capital while she is constantly wedged between her husband and her boss. Showtime’s Billions has been labeled a “superhero show about finance”. The cast is led by Emmy winners Paul Giamatti ("John Adams") and Damian Lewis ("Homeland") as Chuck Rhoades and Bobby Axelrod. IMDB users rates the show 8.4. All episodes of every season of Billions are available to stream on Showtime right now. No cable is necessary. Subscription costs $10.99 per month.
