Confidently There

I equip teams and individuals to more ethically and effectively handle difficult conversations. 

Think:

- understanding power dynamics and knowing how to approach them restoratively
- having the tools to approach the difficult subjects productively, kindly AND feeling ok to do so
- feeling equipped to handle the challenging or toxic relationships so they no longer bug you long after the conversation has finished.


And more simply: 
- calmly navigating conflict
- not fearing confrontation
- saying no without the guilt
- putting ideas across without apology
- speaking up with confidence and ease

My work is kind, evidence-based, psychology-backed and really practical. 

It exclusively promotes and utilises ethical communication strategies promoting equal voice, accountability and integrity at every turn. 

For organisations, my work can help you cultivate an environment that allows all voices to be heard, connection to be prioritised and a culture of challenge and kindness in equal measure upheld. I upskill my clients as communicators to no longer shy away from the tough stuff, but to learn to approach it all without blame or shame, judgement or assumption. This culture shift will not only boost morale and your bottom line, but it is a key equality, diversity and inclusion issue too as it brings all voices to the fore and does away for good with outdated and problematic dominance dynamics.

For individuals, my work equips you to reclaim your sense-of-self in any problematic or toxic working relationships, gives you the tools to know how to respond to any challenging conversation with a restorative approach, and allows YOU to redefine your work-life balance, no longer feeling that it needs to be a binary choice between being respected and being well-liked.

I specialise in supporting values-led organisations and heart-centred leaders to have difficult conversations more often, more ethically, and more effectively. 

It takes difficult conversations and uncomfortable changes when we want to bring about genuine shifts to our culture. Something many people are not professionally equipped for. 

My area of expertise is giving you the tools to handle any challenging situation through open, honest, and rigorous conversations where all parties feel supported and heard. Because when you get that right, everything else follows. 

This helps to fill the gaps between people-first policies and the reality of your day-to-day culture. 

Through quality, active, curious listening and no longer shying away from difficult conversations, you can start aligning behaviours and standards with your big-picture goals. 

All from a PROPERLY human-first approach.
