When Knowledge Isn’t the Problem.

Confidence by Design: Unlocking Potential Through Discomfort

At Maven Executive Coaching, I work with women who are ready to lead with clarity, courage, and unapologetic presence. This story is one I come back to often—because it reminds me what real leadership looks like.

Most executives don’t struggle with strategy—they struggle with showing up fully.

The best part of my work?

Watching leaders rediscover their confidence and passion for what they do.

Every day, I work with executive women who feel stuck—uncertain about their leadership presence, hesitant to share their voice, and disconnected from the impact they want to make.

My goal is to help them hone their skills, find alignment, and step back into leadership with clarity and confidence.

The Shift — A Client Story

One client came to me feeling undervalued.

She was brilliant—but struggled to form meaningful connections at the executive level.

Through holding up a mirror, she uncovered the limiting belief that her voice wasn’t “executive enough.”

Once we rewrote that narrative, she began building relationships that felt authentic and powerful.

Her confidence wasn’t the issue—alignment was.

Quick Maven Mindset

Progress demands discomfort.

If it feels easy, it’s not leadership—it’s maintenance.

Every leader—at every level—feels uncomfortable at times.

Lean into it.

That’s where the magic happens.

What’s one challenge holding you back in your leadership right now?

I invite you to reflect—and if you’re ready to explore what courageous leadership looks like for you, book a discovery call or learn more about my coaching approach.

Choose courage,
