Amplify your voice -
and advance in your career
If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting wishing you’d spoken up sooner, been overlooked for a promotion, or felt like an imposter in your role — you’re not alone.
Many of the women I work with are highly skilled leaders in STEM. They’re respected for their expertise, but still find it hard to be heard.
Some hold back until they’re 100% sure of themselves. Others doubt their English, or their ability to sound “executive enough.” And some lead in a quieter way that isn’t always recognised.
What they want isn’t to be louder.
It’s to be seen and valued for the impact they make. Which means communicating with confidence, calm, and clarity.
My work helps quiet women leaders in STEM shift from self-doubt to self-trust. From performance to presence. From holding back… to advocating for themselves with a clear sense of purpose.
Because when you speak from that place — grounded, authentic, and clear — people sit up and listen.
And new opportunities begin to open.

How I got here
My favourite spot used to be in the background, helping others stand in the spotlight and shine. I was like a rabbit in the headlights if I was on stage. Then I discovered – through putting on a red nose – that I can shine too. Now I don’t need the red nose. (But I still wear it from time to time.)
My path to finding my own voice has been full of mishaps and milestones, each one teaching me something about courage and communication.
Growing up in Wales, the ‘Land of Song’, I learned early on that language and voice can move people.
Later, I spent years working in international communications, crossing cultures and borders — from Europe to Japan and back again. I worked in corporate and non-profit settings, in English, French, Spanish, German, and a touch of Japanese.
Everywhere I went, I found stories — and helped others tell theirs.
Over time, I saw how often women’s ideas were missed — not because they lacked value, but because the space to express them wasn’t always there.
True presence creates that space. When we slow down, listen, and speak from our own experience, we make room for real connection — and for our ideas to be heard.
As Amy Cuddy said, "The more we are able to be ourselves, the more we are able to be present. And that makes us convincing."
And it makes you – and your ideas - shine.
“I’ve discovered resources I didn’t know I had, and that I’m capable of communicating in a conscious, intentional and inspirational way that I’d never have imagined before.”

What I like
Words: their colour, shape and texture.
Water, especially babbling brooks. Wide open spaces. White space.
Quiet. Simplicity. Sincerity.
Wonder Woman. Watching Wales win rugby matches. Singing.
Green tea and cherry blossom. Autumn. Crackling fires. Fairy lights. Christmas spices and stormy skies.
Inventing names. Onomatopoeias (ouch!). Charades and Pictionary.
100% cotton. Freshness and clarity. Films, especially French ones, that move way too slowly for my grown-up kids.
All of these small joys remind me why presence matters. Noticing details. Savouring the moment. Speaking with care. Listening with curiosity.
And they inform my approach to communication — helping women leaders bring their voice to life, with clarity, calm, and authenticity.
