Hey you!
We all envy people who can talk, be charming and exude confidence when speaking. These skills can take people places in their careers, and yet, they are often the skills we do not get a chance to learn and practise before we leave school for the big, wide world. I want to change that.
​
At With Confidence, I am passionate about helping schools, businesses and individuals speak publicly with confidence. All coaching provides practical techniques for schools, groups and individuals to help you tackle your speaking goals and challenges. Get ready to step into the spotlight empowered and self-assured, whether it be public speaking, interviewing or presenting.
Inspire and influence your audience, elevate your career prospects and unlock new opportunities With Confidence.
Let’s get you talking!

Frankie
The team at Frankie often turns complex data into engaging presentations. In this workshop, we explored creative techniques to engage our audience and developed essential impromptu speaking strategies. By the end, we were all set to Perform With Confidence.
Youth of Orakei
As part of a Career Development workshop, the Youth of Orakei asked me to create an interview skills seminar for students in years 12-13. We covered everything from approaching employers to acing interviews. Attendees left ready to
Interview With Confidence.
Siobhan Terry
As a highly successful para-athlete Siobhan presents often to audiences ranging from primary to corporate. Throughout our individual sessions we focussed on developing impromptu speaking skills and media interviews in order to support her to
Present With Confidence.

Individual Coaching
"I have had a successful rowing career spanning 10+ years. Ashleigh has helped me with public speaking to tell my story succinctly whilst focusing on key high and lows. We have drawn out key messages that relate to younger and older listeners. I love how Ashleigh listened to my needs and created a personalised course where she has been able to share her years of expertise in this area."

Schools Courses
"Ashleigh came into our Year 13 student leadership camp and led the group with an engaging and interactive session on the skills required for public speaking. It was voted one of the best activities at our leaders camp by the students and staff present. Ashleigh is an educator and used all her experience to hook the students into the activities. Thoroughly recommend Ashleigh and With Confidence for leading your potential young leaders in upskilling them."

“Ashleigh's 'Introduction to Interviewing' With Confidence workshop was a game-changer! Her practical advice on job interview preparation and follow-up was incredibly beneficial. Ashleigh engaging delivery and valuable tips, such as the importance of eye contact and making a strong first impression will undoubtedly benefit attendees in their professional journeys. We're excited to put her tips and tricks into practice in upcoming job interviews!"
