helping underheard leaders express ourselves with ease

Speaking up is how we build trust and authority.

Do you feel underheard at work?

You are not alone. Too many of us want to feel more confident expressing ourselves but are underheard due to anxiety or toxic workplaces.. And over-working and over-thinking is unsustainable.

I believe that you communicate with confidence when you’re comfortable. You speak up with clarity when you feel seen, safe, and supported.

I want to give you tools to speak with more ease under pressure.

how it works

Be heard with less effort and more ease.

Hi, I’m Lee.

I always struggled speaking up and being myself in certain spaces.

I’ve spent ten years co-creating and crowd-sourcing tools with thousands of brilliant underheard leaders in team workshops and coaching sessions. These tools help you reclaim your confidence from nerves and oppressive spaces.

I do this work so more types of people are leading. So more of us are heard.
