Worked with and inspired audiences at...
Your audience doesn’t need another talk about being more confident.
They already know they should speak up. Put themselves forward. Take the opportunity. Start the thing. Stop worrying what everyone else thinks.
​
Knowing is never the problem. Acting is.
​
Pretty focuses on the uncomfortable space between the two. The moment before the leap, when fear, self-doubt and the need to feel ready can stop capable people doing what they’re already capable of doing.
​
Drawing on her own experience since childhood, combined with practical mental fitness tools, Pretty helps audiences understand what their mind is doing in those exact moments and make the move they’ve been talking themselves out of.
