Individual Coaching
Confidence speaks louder
Does this sound like you?
-
You’re an athlete asked to share your story at a school or conference — but you’re not sure how to keep the audience engaged.
-
You’ve been invited onto a podcast or Q&A panel and worry about what you’ll say on the spot.
-
You’ve got a conference presentation or board meeting coming up, and the pressure to deliver clearly feels huge.
-
You’re preparing for a job interview, MMI, or university admission, and need to show your best self.
-
You’ve been asked to give a wedding or birthday speech, but nerves take over every time you think about it.
-
Or maybe you simply know that public speaking makes you nervous, and you want to build confidence overall.

- Triple Olympic Medalis
Individual Coaching
I thoroughly enjoyed each session — they were well-organised and had a clear purpose. I learned so much about telling my story, along with valuable tips and tricks for managing nerves. With Confidence has been a huge help in developing my story. Ashleigh gave me the tools and guidance to shape my ideas into impactful messages. Now, I feel far more confident in my storytelling skills and can express my thoughts with imagination and creativity.

"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."

I really enjoyed every session, especially the key take aways and work ons. Direct feedback and practice/repetitions I found most helpful. I like that the structure was clearly laid out, and we were able to review notes and content ahead of the sessions. Thank you for your support!
