Hi, I’m Claire Richardson,

Confidence Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist.

Most of the capable women I work with don't have a competence problem. They have a visibility problem.

They know what they want to say. They've thought it through. They have the experience to back it up. But when the moment arrives, when attention turns towards them, when the stakes feel high, when someone might challenge them, something else takes over.

The words come back later. In the car. In the shower. Two hours too late.

That pattern has a name, and more importantly, it has a solution that doesn't require becoming louder, pushier or less yourself.

This guide is where that work begins.
