You don’t need to be naturally assertive to lead with confidence


Hi There, Reader,

One of the biggest myths I see in leadership is this:

“I’m just not naturally assertive, so hard conversations will always be difficult for me.”

Here’s the truth, confidence in hard conversations has nothing to do with personality.

It comes from preparation, emotional regulation, and practice.

Check out this 10 second short below

I’ve worked with thoughtful, kind, introverted, and deeply empathetic leaders who learned to speak clearly, hold boundaries, and navigate tough conversations with calm confidence without becoming someone they’re not.

That’s exactly why I created 12 Weeks of Transformational Coaching: From Anxiety to Confidence.

This program is designed to help you:

  • Prepare for conversations instead of avoiding them
  • Regulate your emotions in the moment (even when it’s uncomfortable)
  • Speak honestly and clearly with compassion
  • Build real confidence through practice and support—not pressure

Leadership confidence isn’t something you’re born with.
It’s something you learn, step by step.

If you’re ready to stop dreading hard conversations and start handling them with clarity and confidence, I’d love to support you.

Mid-winter is a good time to find your voice

Hi Friend, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! It’s early January. The holidays are behind us, the decorations are packed away (maybe), and winter has settled in.It’s cold outside. The days feel darker than they are bright. Motivation can feel a little harder to come by. And honestly, this is often when the conversations we’ve been avoiding start getting louder in our heads. The feedback you didn’t give.The boundary you meant to set.The conversation you keep rehearsing but never quite start. Here’s...

Confident Hard Conversations for Leaders

Hi Friend, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! I want to talk about something I see all the time. Leaders who care deeply about their people but avoid hard conversations.
