Finding
My confidence
When I decided to set up my own business, I could no longer hide behind my screen I had to pitch for new opportunities which was out of my comfort zone.
I used to find myself stumped what to say to new people or how I could get my voice heard in a meeting. It had left me feeling very frustrated. Over the decades I've slowly become more confident and found my feet at comfortable pace.
After a lot of persuading, a trusted friend invited me to a local Toastmasters club. With the safety and support from this club, I have gradually grown my confidence learning key skills not taught in education or the workplace.
I can now say my confidence has exceeded my expectations and I don't shy away from speaking opportunities. It's not perfect but I can control my nerves to think what I have to say. I'm now prepared to speak on the spot, say yes to videos and able to give constructive feedback on projects.
My 1-2-1 sessions are designed to help you to control your nerves and build your confidence, in the comfort of your home.
