Build the Confidence to Speak Up, Step Up, and Thrive at Work
You’re smart. You’re capable. You’ve been in your role for a while now – and on paper, everything looks good. But still… something’s off.
- Maybe your peers are moving up faster than you.
- Maybe you’re holding back in meetings.
- Maybe you’re second-guessing your ideas or feeling like a bit of a fraud, even when you’re doing great work.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to stay stuck.
What Is The Confidence Breakthrough Programme?
The Confidence Breakthrough Programme is a six-month, self-paced online course for professionals who want to feel more confident, clear, and in control, without faking it or forcing it.
It’s a practical, science-backed roadmap to help you break through the doubts, habits and mindset patterns that are holding you back, and replace them with tools for lasting confidence, self-belief, and growth.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Break free from overthinking and self-doubt
-
Speak up with clarity (and without panic)
-
Handle fear, failure and feedback without spiralling
-
Build resilience (not just “tough it out”)
-
Step outside your comfort zone without burning out
-
Fast-track your growth by mastering your mindset
This isn’t fluffy self-help. It’s a professional-grade toolkit that’s helped hundreds of people shift how they feel on the inside, and what they achieve on the outside.

Why This Programme Is Different
This isn’t a string of motivational quotes or generic “just be yourself” advice.
It’s a professionally designed course that brings together 30 years of real-world coaching experience, neuroscience, psychology, and practical mindset tools – all built into one structured, step-by-step journey.
Originally developed for corporate learning environments, this programme has now been adapted so you can access the same level of depth, insight and transformation, on your own terms.
-
Based in science (not trends)
-
Designed for busy professionals
-
Practical and immediately usable
-
Real-life examples, no jargon
It’s the course your younger self would’ve thanked you for, and the one your future self will be glad you took.

A message from me (Jo)
I created this programme because I was you. In my twenties, I looked like I had it together – I was hitting my targets and crushing it on paper – but inside? I was anxious, burned out, and convinced I wasn’t good enough.
I was terrified of public speaking. I second-guessed everything. I felt totally lost in my career (PR then recruitment: I was good at both, but loved neither!), and I was stuck in a cycle of partying, people-pleasing, and pretending everything was fine.
It wasn’t. And no amount of escaping – travel, junk food, wine, cigarettes – fixed it.
Eventually, I realised: if I wanted my life to feel different, I had to change. So I got to work. I spent years learning, testing, failing, growing, and over time, things did change. I learned tools to shift how I was thinking and feeling, and something amazing happened: the better I felt on the inside, the more results I got on the outside.
I even learned to love public speaking. (Which still blows my mind.)
That discovery – that confidence is a skill, not a personality trait – led me to a whole new career in Learning & Development. Since then, I’ve spent over 20 years designing, delivering and perfecting this programme for professionals just like you: people with so much to give, but something internal getting in the way.
