When you think of a woman who founded a successful global company, what do you see? Now add presenting at conferences, delivering training workshops and working with high-profile organisations. You probably picture a person full of extroverted confidence, who must never struggle to speak, network, or feel doubtful, don’t you? It’s easy for us to…
Five years ago, I sat on a bench outside a building and held back tears as panic started to kick in. I was attending a workshop and knew no one there. I was way out of my comfort zone, terrified that I might be asked to speak or have to do some kind of group…
“You have to step out of your comfort zone! Just do it!”. My entire life I have been hearing this. And chances are, you have too. When I was 13, I attempted to just step out of my comfort zone (like they told me to). And I literally got stuck on top of a 12-foot…
Let me guess, hundreds of thoughts are popping up and racing through your mind every minute of every day. At times you wish your mind would shut up, slow down and be quiet for a moment, right? That is until, someone speaks to you. Just like that, your mind says “buh-bye, I’m outta here” and…

In light of our decision last week to cancel all in-person activities, and with the government’s latest updates to stay at home due to Covid-19, we know that many within our quiet community…
TUESDAY 17TH MARCH 2020 Based on the advice from the government this week regarding limiting unnecessary travel and social contact, we have now made the decision to cancel all Quiet Get-Togethers until further notice.
