Helping introverted professionals build confidence and communication skills. Proud introvert .Corporate Trainer.250+ clients. DM ⬇️

You’ve built an impressive career, developed expertise, and earned respect in your industry. But as an introverted leader, you face challenges that can feel overwhelming:

- Struggling to speak up in meetings.
- Feeling anxious about presenting your ideas.
- Navigating group dynamics without losing your voice.
- Building confidence to lead and inspire others effectively.

For a long time, I believed that to get ahead, I needed to act like an extrovert. The more I tried to be something I wasn’t, the more my confidence suffered. I avoided situations where I felt uncomfortable—meetings, presentations, and even casual conversations.

Everything changed when I embraced my introversion instead of seeing it as a limitation. I built my confidence, developed my communication skills, and learned how to lead in a way that felt authentic to me.

Today, I’m proud to be one of the world’s leading trainers for introverts facing communication challenges. Over the years, I’ve helped over 350 introverts gain confidence, communicate effectively, and thrive in their careers. I’ve also trained and consulted for global companies, equipping their teams to work more cohesively.

I work specifically with introverted leaders who want to:

- Speak up with confidence in meetings.
- Present ideas clearly and without fear.
- Navigate group dynamics and lead with authority.
- Build stronger relationships with colleagues and teams.

Through proven strategies tailored to introverts, I help you overcome communication challenges without changing who you are.

As an introvert who’s been in your shoes, I understand the courage it takes to step outside your comfort zone. I’ve turned my own struggles into strengths, and now I’m passionate about helping others do the same.

Over the years, I’ve:

- Helped 350+ introverted professionals advance their careers.
- Delivered global corporate training on communication skills.
- Built a thriving coaching and consulting business.

I’m based in the UK and love traveling with my wife and our dog, Mylo. When I’m not coaching, I’m exploring new places or sharing what I’ve learned to empower other introverted leaders.

Daniel Findlay

My goal for 2026 is to live a simpler life.


Spend less time on social media. Still using it to stay connected with friends and family, but less time getting pulled into pointless scrolling.

Enjoy more adventurous walks with my dog.

Exercise four to five times per week. I have finally recovered from a serious back injury after two years. It really taught me never to take movement or health for granted.

Complain less. Life is not perfect, and I have learned there will always be something stressful happening. Complaining about it only creates more stress.

Enjoy the smaller things each day. A morning coffee. A conversation with my wife. A quiet Saturday evening.

And help 100 introverted professionals speak with confidence at work.

What are you looking to achieve this year?

I help introverted leaders speak with authority, build visibility, and advance in their careers without faking extroversion | 400+ clients | Corporate Trainer | DM ‘Career’ to hear about my 1:1 program.

As an introvert, you will have heard this phrase many times


"You need to speak up more."

However, it's rarely met with any support
or advice on how to speak up more

Telling an introvert to speak up more is
pointless 90% of the time

Whenever I would hear this, I would
feel super self-conscious; it would
add more anxiety

And guess what?

I would speak less because I was
stuck in my head

Instead, empower people to 
want to speak

And show them that speaking
is not the only way you measure
success

What phrase have you heard as an 
introvert?

There was a time when I could barely finish a sentence in a meeting.

I’d finally work up the courage to speak.

And then someone would cut in.
Change the subject.
Talk over me.

And I’d just sit there.

Anxious.
Frozen.
Silently wondering if anyone noticed.

They didn’t.

I used to leave those meetings frustrated at myself.

Why didn’t I push back?
Why didn’t I finish what I was saying?

The truth is, I didn’t know how.

I thought the only way to hold space was to be louder.
To jump in faster.
To fight for space in a room that moved too fast.

What helped wasn’t volume.
It was something small and clear.

I started using what I call the pause and name technique.

When someone interrupted me, I would pause.
Hold eye contact.
Say their name.
Then calmly continue.

"James, just to finish what I was saying…"

That pause broke the momentum.
It showed I wasn’t finished.

It gave me space to speak without raising my voice or rushing to defend myself.

It never felt easy.
But it helped me stay present.

And more importantly, it helped me stop disappearing.

Emtwo, LLC

In 2025, Emtwo is all about strategy-first branding. We focus on empowering 1-2 person service-based businesses with the clarity, confidence, and blueprints they need to stand out and grow.

Our three core offers deliver high-impact strategies designed to meet you where you are:

While design and development were once a cornerstone of our offerings, our emphasis today is on helping businesses uncover their unique value and develop a plan for lasting success.

But here’s the backstory…

I founded Emtwo in 2005 as a small branding and web design agency. Over the years, we evolved from helping bloggers to collaborating with Fortune 500 companies to now focusing on service-based businesses.

Every project has been an opportunity to craft brands that stop the scroll, capture attention, and drive results. But more importantly, it's been about building relationships and helping people reach their goals.

Highlights from my journey as founder and director:

- Developed digital marketing strategies that increased client traffic by 40% year-over-year.
- Redesigned brand identities, boosting consumer recognition by 35% and online sales by 50%.
- Managed projects ranging from small initiatives to six-figure deployments, ensuring results within budget and deadlines.

Emtwo has become more than a business for me—it’s a reflection of my passion for helping businesses clarify their vision, amplify their impact, and connect with their audience in meaningful ways.

Project Lead

There are two ways to stand out:

- hope your audience magically “gets it.”
- build a brand rooted in strategy.

Most businesses fall into the first category.

Even if you’re showing up consistently, there’s still this nagging problem: your message isn’t landing.

You’re brilliant at what you do—but your audience?

They’re still swiping past.

- your offers aren’t converting.
- your dream clients don’t see you as their solution.
- you’re left feeling like you’re spinning your wheels, shouting into the void.

Best case scenario? You get clients, but they’re meh.

Worst case? You’re stuck in the “invisible zone,” wondering what’s missing.

Now, imagine this instead:

- your brand stops people in their tracks.
- your dream clients say, “This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for!”
- your offers feel like no-brainers.

You’re not chasing clients anymore—they’re coming to you, ready to pay premium prices for the value you bring.

That’s the power of a strategic brand.

But let’s rewind for a second.

I’m Mel, and I’ve been in the trenches of branding, marketing, and design for over 20 years. I’ve helped hundreds of service-based businesses, coaches, and consultants turn “blah” brands into authority brands.

And here’s what I’ve learned:

Building a brand isn’t just about looking good. It’s about connecting deeply.

Your audience doesn’t want “just another business” to follow. They want to feel seen, understood, and confident in choosing you.

That’s where I come in:

To help you untangle the confusion, uncover your magic, and create a brand that stands out for all the right reasons.

Why Strategy First?

Because a strategy-first approach saves you:

- Time: You stop spinning your wheels and focus on what works.
- Money: No more throwing cash at things that don’t move the needle.
- Headaches: Everything aligns, from your messaging to your visuals.

When you skip strategy, you end up with:

- A website that looks great but doesn’t convert.
- Messaging that’s vague and forgettable.
- A brand that blends in when it should be standing out.

That’s why I focus on clarity first. Because when you know who you are, who you’re speaking to, and what sets you apart, everything else becomes so much easier.

Tired of spinning your wheels?

Let’s create a brand that’s clear, intentional, and impossible to ignore.
