How confident do you ‘really feel’ in your professional and personal life? Are you someone who relishes challenges, floats through life with ease, grabbing opportunities as they come. Or have you learnt to fake it? Pretending to feel confident whilst squirming on the inside. Perhaps you simply avoid situations that make you uncomfortable or afraid? Confidence is a soft skill that makes a hard impact on your life regardless of whether you have it or not. Real confidence isn't about faking it or acting 'as if'. Real confidence comes from within. You don't have to worry about what people think or what you have achieved. You can be resilient, assertive & say 'no'. Sadly, ‘faking it’ is rife in professional life. On the outside you’ve got everything we are told will make us happy – a good job, money, house, car, education. Yet on the inside you are struggling & miserable. My quest for real confidence came as result of being a stressed out stage manager. If I was challenged or needed to speak in front of others, I froze on the inside & sometimes fled on the outside. It may not have looked that way as I got good at pretending. But on the inside I was full of doubt. It was an exhausting way of living. I left my career burnt out & confused. I hit rock bottom. Over the next 12 years I took it on myself to discover the truth about confidence, self-belief & look deeper into the thinking brain. Understanding how to get to that ‘better’ place has literally taken me from hiding backstage to being on BBC Breakfast TV! I now coach & train professional women and smart men around the world to peel back the layers of pretense & live a truly confident life. I deliver interactive workshops, talks & keynotes and am author of “If We Can, You Can.”

Trust me. You say, “Why the heck should I trust you???” I’ve been where you are. I’ve stayed in a job I hated, just because I was too scared to give up the regular income…or because I didn’t really believe anyone would buy what I was selling. Now here I am. I’ve started and grown several companies. I’ve raised a ton of money for nonprofit organizations. I’ve spoken in front of thousands of people. It took me years to get to this point…I don’t want you to wait that long. How did I get here? By identifying what my fears were…breaking them down, and addressing them one by one. By finding a group of women who wanted nothing more than to see each other succeed; who are more than happy to share wins, advice, and commiseration. By making an easily digestible plan of action to reach my big-ass goal, and staying focused during each step. How long did it take me to get here? YEARS. I don’t want it to take that long for you. It’s not fair to you, and it’s not fair to your future customers. Sure, it’s a big leap. But I’ll be your personal safety net. I promise not to let you fall. I believe empowered women can change their world, and I am on a mission to empower as many women as I can. Through on-demand transformational tools, facilitated online communities, and live events, I will help you turn your reticence into courage—and get your business started and growing. My insights have been featured in "Forbes", "Women’s Health", National Public Radio, and "The New York Times". I am the best-selling author of "Become Your Own Great and Powerful: A Woman’s Guide to Leading Your Real, Big Life". My clients call me “highly skilled, experienced, a delight to work with” and “a sparkling member of the human race”. When I am not creating a new cohort of superheroines, you can find me making art, knitting, sitting on the beach, or indulging in almost anything that has bacon in it.
