QUIETLY POWERFUL PROGRAM

Develop and apply your personalised Quietly Powerful action plan within 12 weeks, so that you confidently take steps to succeed in your career, on your own terms.

Are you a quieter professional who has years of experience and strong capabilities, but feel overlooked, undervalued or lacking impact because of your quieter nature?

Perhaps you know you possess the ability to lead or have greater impact within your team, but are struggling to have this recognised.

You may have been told you need to ‘be more confident’, speak up more or have more ‘executive presence’. This feels unnatural, and the effort of faking it is exhausting.

QUIET PROFESSIONALS HAVE IMMENSE VALUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO ORGANISATIONS, YET THEY ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED. IN A WORLD WHERE OUTSPOKENNESS AND OVERT SELF-CONFIDENCE ARE REWARDED, IT IS HARDER FOR QUIETER PROFESSIONALS 
TO ADVANCE THEIR CAREERS.

The Quietly Powerful Program will provide you with the practical tools and quiet self-confidence you need to strengthen your impact and get ahead in your career, in a way that still feels authentic.

You will be able to draw on your own unique perspectives, plus lessons from successful Quietly Powerful leaders, to become a quiet influencer that people pay attention to, without having to pretend to be louder or doubting yourself.

THROUGH THE QUIETLY POWERFUL PROGRAM, YOU WILL:

  • Better understand your natural strengths.
  • Learn strategies to speak up in meetings, that don’t feel forced.
  • Improve your ability to think on your feet, without feeling so under pressure.
  • Grow your Quietly Powerful presence, projecting more confidence in your stance, voice and energy.
  • Identify quiet ways to expand your influence, that go beyond speaking.
  • Be given practical tools for handling conflicting views and tricky situations.
  • Clarify your own sense of purpose and understand how to use this to your advantage.
  • Gain a sense of inner confidence.
  • Learn how to deal with unhelpful inner voices.

This course has been designed by a quieter professional, for quiet professionals.

The course is a blended learning program with online materials and live group coaching sessions. It does not ask you to do things that feel fake or go against your authentic nature.

Praise from Past Course Attendees

Megumi legitimised things that I’ve felt – that it’s okay to be quieter, but that it’s very hard when the tide is against you. Other speakers have often alienated me because they’re so different to me and at times I felt like I wasn’t seen. Megumi was the first speaker who actually understood where I was coming from and because of that, she was able to offer very simple, clear, practical steps that were helpful.

Gillian, Senior Lawyer

The really good thing about the program is that you give really specific examples about how someone who is generally a bit quieter can engage with others. Unlike a lot of management courses that are very general and difficult to apply on a day-to-day scenario, you provide a practical toolkit for people who are quieter.

Julia, Workplace Strategist

I learned a lot about myself and self-respect. It gave me confidence to move forward. I have had a change in my mindset from being a support person to being a leader. I told my manager about wanting to advance my career, he said, ‘why didn’t you ask earlier?’ And I have been promoted since.

Yuko, Global Partnerships Advisor

I found clarity, renewed energy around my strengths, my passions, my values and mission. It has encouraged me to bring all of me to work.

Carmen, Senior Music Therapist

FAQS

Exactly what topics are covered in the course?

How much time is needed to do the course?

As this is a self-paced online program, you can choose your own pace and how deeply you want to go into each topic, exploring just the key lessons, or all of the bonus content. There are 12 lessons with 40 videos which are between 3 to 15 minutes per video in the core program. There are also additional resources and videos.

In addition, you are encouraged to experiment with the concepts taught in the real world. That is where you will see tangible impacts, progress and results. How much time you put into this is at your discretion.

How long can I access the course for?

You will have lifetime access to all online program content. You can go through the content, apply what you have learned, and revisit it as many times as needed.

You are invited to join the monthly live Q&A coaching sessions for the first 6 months after joining the course.

I wouldn’t call myself ‘quiet’. Is this still the right course for me?

Yes.  The course also attracts participants who are extroverted or quite social in nature. They may still feel quietly disempowered because they are agreeable in nature, get overly anxious in groups or with senior people, feel like they are an outsider or minority, or are held back by their own self-doubt. If you want to build on your inner strength to be an authentic leader, you will find useful concepts in the program.

I’m already in a leadership role. Is this course suitable?

Yes. There is value in learning how to access your quieter strengths and utilise them more fully in your approach to leadership. This may be more aligned to your natural self, and more sustainable than using a more extroverted or directive leadership style. Plus, the course will provide plenty of insights on how to better lead, and tap into the strengths of, naturally quieter team members.  

Is there a payment plan?

Yes, we offer a payment plan. Please contact us to set it up.

In which countries is the program available?

The program should be accessible from anywhere, as long as you have internet access. Please let us know if you have any access issues.

What support do I get if I don’t understand a concept or how to apply it?

There are 6 x monthly live virtual group Q&A / coaching sessions included in the program, where you can ask questions and get coached on how to apply them. We will ask you to email questions or topics to be coached on before each session and will start by addressing ones that more people are interested in and work through the list.

When are the live Q&A coaching sessions?

You will be invited to 6 x monthly Q&A / coaching sessions from the time you start. They are usually around the 20th-22nd of each month. The times vary to ensure that people in different time zones can join live in at least some of the sessions. You will receive six calendar zoom invitations once you have registered for the program.

If you cannot make a live session, you are welcome to submit short questions via email for the first 6 months. Responses will be provided via email.

What if I am unhappy with the course? Can I get a refund?

More Reviews of the Quietly Powerful Program

I’ve spoken up at meetings where people have disagreed with me. Before I would have been mortified with that thought that I was wrong, and now I see it as an important different perspective and not necessarily wrong. I feel positive about contributions I’m making at meetings.

Kerrie, Non-Executive Director

My confidence has really grown. I am much more willing to give things a go, voice my views and questions.

Jennifer, Director at a Professional Services Firm

It has helped to calm my noisy inner voices and I’m doing more things than I would have done before, where my inner voices had stopped me. I feel way more confident and (am) speaking up more.

Emma, Senior Risk and Compliance Manager

I’ve learned to value my strengths and display more self-confidence. I have greater insight into my natural traits and how I can turn what others may perceive as weaknesses into differentiators.
