Confidence & Communication
These posts explore how confidence and communication show up in real working life. Not just what you say, but how you feel when you say it.
These posts look at self doubt, nerves, intimidation, and pressure, alongside practical ways to speak more clearly, stay present, and trust yourself in meetings, interviews, and challenging conversations.
It’s about building confidence that feels steady, grounded, and authentic, even on the days it wobbles.
