Scared So What™ Ltd

We’ve created the world’s first bespoke Personal Change Model©—SCARED SO WHAT™. This pioneering model helps reduce stress, anxiety, and worry by teaching people to critically reflect on personal change—anytime, anywhere. People may accept, reject, or feel stuck in change. Most organizational models fail to include the individual in the change process.

SCARED focuses on feelings and guides informed decisions over assumptive ones. SO WHAT helps individuals create and execute their own action plans.

Together, they empower better reflection, decision-making, and reduced stress. In organizations, we recommend prioritizing individuals before launching any change plan. SCARED SO WHAT ensures they’re INCLUDED.

We go further—our model integrates Transformational Leadership to help leaders succeed daily, not just in change. We also offer executive 1:1 coaching.

SCARED SO WHAT is the missing link to successful personal and organizational change leadership.

Offering: Change Management Tech via our Personal Change PRO App, Instructor Certification, Online Courses, and full implementation support. Accredited by ITOL, CPD, and endorsed by The Oxford Review.

I work closely with speakers to ensure their ideas are communicated clearly, authentically, and with maximum impact. By blending storytelling techniques with strategic coaching, I help individuals unlock their potential and deliver transformative talks that leave a lasting impression.

This involves collaborating with teams to ensure every event showcases a diverse range of voices and perspectives that inspire, educate, and challenge the status quo.

With years of experience in leadership, branding, and storytelling, this role is a natural extension of my passion for empowering others to achieve their full potential.

How To GRASP Confidence & Own Your Power

You were born confident, we all were. No baby has ever been born thinking that it is unworthy or underserving of its parents’ attention. Babies cry and are confident in their abilities to have their needs met. As toddlers, we learn how to walk, eat, talk, and do things independently; all of which work to build confidence within us. A toddler when learning how to walk does not fall and then assume they are not good at it or that they are a failure, the young child thinks nothing of the sort. They simply get back up and keep going. Even though they are beginners they do not believe they are failing, and they remain confident that eventually, they will understand how to walk, run, and even jump.

Gradually through life’s obstacles, perceived failures, hardships, and traumas, our confidence begins to dissipate and diminish with time. Confidence can begin to seem elusive and untouchable for many people as they enter adulthood and proceed in their careers. Sadly, a lack of confidence holds many people back in life, preventing them from tapping into their fullest potential and becoming successful. Throughout our lives, we face barriers that all work to lessen our confidence and it can be difficult to overcome for many people, especially for those who have lived through trauma. If left unchecked these past pains and traumas can work to lessen our confidence and hold us back in our lives and careers.

Even though confidence can begin to lessen over the course of our lives, it is possible to regain it. Ultimately, while some individuals may be naturally more confident than others, confidence is a skill that can be cultivated and developed through intentional effort and practice. My sincere hope is that this book helps anyone who is struggling with confidence realize that life begins the moment you step into the confident person you were always meant to be.

On a Mission to Help Thought Leaders Rise as Global Voices of Impact 🎤

In 2022, my life changed forever.
What once terrified me—speaking—became the spark that ignited my calling. That moment wasn’t just about finding my voice. It was about helping others discover theirs.

Today, I help thought leaders grow influential brands, land TEDx talks, and become global voices of transformation.

What I Do:

• Help entrepreneurs + speakers become TEDx speakers

• Build magnetic brands that drive revenue to your business

• Land TV interviews and launch profitable podcasts

• Coach leaders using my GRASP™ Method (Gratitude, Responsibility, Action, Sight, Purpose)

I believe confidence is a calling, not a personality trait and that leadership grounded in faith, strategy, and action can change the world.

From rural Maryland as the youngest child of five raised by a single mother to global stages, I’m proof that when you bet on yourself anything is possible.

My purpose is to help others rise in their God-given identity and pursue their callings with confidence. ❤️
