Communicating Confidence
a 5-week live training to release self-doubt and fear, show up with confidence and improve your impact at work – for women who don’t love the spotlight
[/et_pb_paypal_button]
What’s the purpose?
Women’s talents and gifts are too often hidden or overshadowed by others. Last year I spoke with many women from 4 different countries about their challenges with confidence. Their challenges were the same. I began to feel a sense of urgency to help address the problem.
When women step forward with greater confidence, they will have greater influence. Today’s complex problems need that influence, with new perspectives, talents and leadership, like never before.
What’s the overview?
This 5-week live training will teach you how to shift the patterns of self-doubt and fear that hold you back in the workplace, so you can tap into your greater potential, show up with confidence, and make a larger impact.
Using neuroscience, mindfulness, and mind-body principles, you will learn how to support your brain and body in the process of change. You will learn tools and practices to direct that change so that you can release old patterns, step into your full potential and communicate confidence.
Sound familiar?
You’ve been in your career for long enough now. You’ve had the education and training to do your job well – and you do, mostly. But you need to speak up more, appear confident to others, and do more with your ideas and potential. You just don’t know how, or if it’s possible.
You wake up most mornings tired. Your mind immediately starts churning about all that needs to be done, the what-if’s and fears about how you will do it and how you might be perceived. You feel a sense of dread about upcoming meetings or events where you should speak up and appear confident…
But you bury all that and resolve to put one foot in front of the other. People are counting on you, and you can’t let them down.
You are compassionate and care about making a positive difference in the world. Instead of focusing on yourself, you focus on getting the job done and helping others.
So you keep trying to override the worry, self-doubt and fear. But it’s exhausting.
My story
Years ago, I was a stressed-out public interest attorney representing clients in court. Every day, I needed to override my self-doubt and fear – fear of making a mistake, looking stupid, or messing up a case. I couldn’t see what I did well. My lack of confidence created internal stress that affected my mental and physical health, including fatigue, mood, sleep and gut issues.
One day, driving home from work past a Burger King, I saw a “Help Wanted” sign and wondered if I worked there, could I still pay off my law school loans? That’s when I knew I was burned out. Not knowing any other solution, I left.
My journey to self-belief and confidence was long and windy, but I did the work and created a program so your road can be easier. With 25 years of mind-body practices, self-development programs, coach trainings and certifications, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, mindfulness and neuroscience research, I created a comprehensive framework for change.
I went from being “class pessimist” in high school, to a realistic optimist. I went from feeling sick to my stomach in court, to coaching professionals at all levels, and being a front-of-the-room leader using my framework.
What Other Women Say…
“Working with Jennifer has been an invaluable experience.”
Through her coaching, I remembered values that are central to who I am as a person but which had fallen to the wayside. I learned to have greater self-compassion and now feel in tune with myself so that I do not fall back to old habits. I am now able to approach my career life with more presence, fun, energy, and excitement to take on my next endeavors.
Suzanne Le, Psychiatric Medical Assistant
“Jen taught me how to control negative repetitive thinking that took me in directions I did not want to go."
I feel more confident when I am engaging with potential clients, new bosses, or with important, powerful players, especially when my introvert battery is running low. Overall, I’ve become a stronger self-advocate and more internally balanced. Jen’s coaching methods paused my entrenched thinking and helped me re-route new positive pathways.
Amy Jonker, Attorney
"Jennifer's approach engaging personal values, brain science, and non-judgmental self-awareness has been perfect for me."
Her coaching would be highly valuable for a leader at any level, particularly someone in a personal or professional transition, or feeling a lack of direction, agency, or connection to their work.
Sean Tennerson, Sr. Program Manager, REDF
“Jen has set me on a journey to improved personal and professional development with greater focus, motivation and confidence.”
I was very impressed by Jen’s holistic approach to professional development. Her use of neuroscience was highly effective, and her introduction to mindful awareness as a tool for emotional stress has added value to my daily life.
Ceridwen Johnson, Head of Governance and Membership, UNOPS
I am now living the life I want both personally and professionally.
After 30 years of a stressful career, I was ready for changes… I have been to therapists, life coaches and have participated in many personal and professional programs. Jen moved me faster and farther than any other option I had sought. I am now living the life I want both personally and professionally.
Dr. Christine Aguilar
“Jennifer empowers through her work, and thus leaves you strongly standing on your own feet."
The great thing about Jennifer is that she doesn’t try to tell you where to go or what to do; rather she gives you the tools with which to find your own way… Her support continues to guide me through the challenges of leadership, diplomacy and coordination.”
Nathan Reyes, Head of Mission, International Committee of Red Cross
“If everyone had a Jen, there’s no telling how amazing this world would be.”
Jen has a gift for asking questions that open me to creating entirely new neural connections—seeing, understanding, and thinking along new “paths.” Over and over again through working with Jen, I have experienced a wholeness that is difficult to describe, and it is one that I wish for all people.
Danielle Light, Community Director
“Working with Jennifer has been a powerful experience that truly supported me in staying grounded while moving through a big transition…”
Kimberley Elliott, Leadership Wellness
How will I learn?
We meet on Zoom weekly for instruction, visual slides, exercises, coaching, discussions, and Q & A. Between meetings, you will have assignments to help you apply and deepen the learning. You will get the essentials, so you can avoid overwhelm and begin to take steps and notice changes even during the short 5 weeks.
What will I learn?
This is not a fake-it-til-you-make it approach. Using a comprehensive, research-backed framework, this is about the deep work of growing confidence from the inside out.
We learn about neuroscience, mindfulness and mind-body principles in a relatable and applicable way. We grow confidence on a deeper level than behaviors by including thoughts, feelings, the body, brain & nervous system. We learn the scientific facts that explain why we’ve felt stuck, and how to begin to change them.
You will also learn that you are not alone as you learn and grow with a small community of like-minded women.

“If everyone had a Jen, there’s no telling how amazing this world would be.”
I would recommend Jen to anyone who has struggled against or resisted themselves and is tired of the fight… In our work, we uncover depths of myself that long to be seen and heard. Through working with Jen, I have experienced a wholeness that is difficult to describe, and it is one that I wish for all people.
Danielle Light, Community Director
“I have done a lot of work in many areas as a coach myself, but I felt real and substantial progress with Jen."
When I began working with Jen, I was looking for direction. She recognized that sometimes I needed to let go a bit in order to be open to the work to be done during our sessions. Her acknowledgements were powerful because they actually saw who I was and who I wanted to be. A weight has been lifted and I am on the right path!

What Other Women Say…
“I am a product of a cultural upbringing where internal struggles are seen as personal weakness not to be disclosed."
I was taught to fight such battles on my own. Then came Jennifer… One year ago, I was laid off, in a tumultuous relationship, and had gained over 20 lbs. Now, I have secured a great job in the field I love, have become happily independent, and have shed the weight. There is no magic pill, no quick solution, and no simple DIY method that could possibly produce the level of results that Jennifer’s coaching has produced for me.
Risa N.
"After working with Jen, I began to speak up more. As I asserted myself more, my work situation improved.""
Jen’s coaching helped me to shift my thinking and expand my actions. It also helped remind me of what my core values really are.
As a result of working with Jen, I have begun to expand my horizons and envision a new and greater future for myself.
M.D.
"People I lead have noticed the positive impact this program has made in my professional and personal life.""
Thank you so much for providing this life-changing course for us!
A practice from the course helped me to change my approach. I took notes and revisit it frequently. Your soothing voice, the permission to not commit to a plan, the explanation of what was taking place in the brain…brilliant!
