4 ways to dismantle the hidden blocks between you and your leadership presence.
A courage-first approach to unlocking visibility, confidence, and presence.
The Courage to Speak is not a workshop where we'll (ridiculously) suggest you 'just be yourself'. This is deeper...
It’s about identifying and dismantling the often invisible barriers that keep you from showing up fully as a leader—at work, in meetings, on stage, and in everyday conversations.
You’ve worked hard, delivered results, and earned the respect of your peers.
But when it comes to speaking up—especially in high-stakes moments—something gets in the way.
A rush of self-doubt.
A fear of being judged.
A quiet voice that wonders: Who am I to say this?
Even the most experienced professionals carry hidden blocks that hold them back from fully owning their leadership presence.
