know us
Succeed with Confidence helps you as entrepreneurs, senior professionals & leadership teams to significantly improve your business results & articulate your differentiated value via confident communication, elevated executive presence, increased authority, strategic influencing and business impact.
We empower you to succeed professionally without any fear or limiting beliefs around your business communication and leadership skills, via a range of unique development programmes, used by our clients around the world.
Our Why.
Over twenty one years in banking leadership roles, we have seen so many brilliant career professionals & entrepreneurs miss out on development or business growth opportunities, simply because they could not communicate their differentiated value proposition and lead with confidence & credibility.
We have seen countless people spend money on workshops and quick fix solutions which failed to give them the business results and skills based confidence they required.
This has motivated us to combine our extensive leadership experience and lifelong study of communication skills, to develop unique programmes which will demystify business communication, public speaking & leadership to empower you and your leadership team to unlock your potential & articulate your core values to gain the recognition & success you deserve.

Rachelle Gaskell
Director, Learning & Development at Citi Belfast
“Dedication, compassion and resilience rate highly in my pecking order of values. Louise has these and others aplenty. During my years of working with her she showed a level of commitment that made a real success of her work outside of her key role and helped women at Citi Belfast progress their careers with confidence and enjoyment.
I am delighted she has taken on the huge task of starting her own business and all that entails. She will be a tremendous asset to her clients and her business partners. I wish her the very best and fully expect to see her receiving the accolades and success she deserves.
Leigh Meyer
Managing Director, Investment Banking at Citi Belfast
I have been successful in my career for over thirteen years - managing relationships with senior stakeholders and key clients - however I have been aware that I lacked confidence in my communication skills. I have previously avoided taking on responsibilities where I knew I would be 'in the spotlight' and needed to present to a large group or to lead key projects.
I have found the Communicating with Confidence programme to be a game changer for me. I enjoyed the practical exercises during each module to test my new skills professionally and personally.
Since spending time working on mindset, and the 'how' and 'what' of delivering key messages to an audience, I have found that it has become much easier.

Stock Control Manager, Logistics Industry
I have had a mid-senior level career in a global bank for almost fifteen years, however after two recent maternity leave periods in quick succession, I found that my confidence as a leader has been impacted. I have really excelled during the Communicating & Leading with Confidence programme, I have been challenged to lead in new ways across my global team.
I have really enjoyed learning about how important it is to have the correct mindset for leadership & impactful communication, as well as leveraging the skills required for speaking effectively and influencing my stakeholders. I am now a more confident communicator and leader than before I had children and enjoy finding opportunities to use my new and elevated skills.
I recommend the Communicating & Leading with Confidence programme to any professionals who want to ensure they are building their executive presence.

Vice President, Global Investment Bank
I recently completed the Communicating with Confidence course. Previously, I avoided speaking in public and in team meetings, however I knew that to make an impact at work and to progress in my career, I needed to feel more confident in how I communicate professionally.
I have learned a lot about how to approach speaking to an audience, as well as technical skills and practical techniques which have ensured I am much more prepared when I am speaking formally to a group.
I recommend this course for anyone who wants to start enjoying presenting their work.
