Effective Communication to Build Confidence

My vision for Grounded in Strength is to help women become stronger, more confident contributors at work and gain broader recognition for their expertise and competence.

Inspired by the extraordinary women I've worked with over the years and drawing on my own experiences in the corporate arena, I developed a core framework to help women tackle their toughest communication challenges.

In parallel, I embarked on a 6-year journey to become an endurance open water swimmer and ultimately conquer the "Everest of Swims", The English Channel.

Today, I'm sharing the same high-performance mindset training I used at sea, I've combined it with 20+ years of corporate communication coaching, and created one powerful program: Grounded in Strength.

If you're looking to optimize your strengths, push performance and achieve strategic goals, I'd love to hear from you. 

Grounded in Strength combines proven communication techniques with powerful psychological insights to overcome internal and external barriers. Participants learn to tap into their authentic strength and develop an empowering communication style that changes perceptions.
