Why do people join a Gutsy confidence workshop?

Not because they want to be perfect or fearless – but because they’re tired of shrinking, second-guessing or staying quiet when they want to speak. This piece gathers 30+ very real reasons people come to Gutsy, from public speaking panic to creative visibility wobbles. If you’ve ever thought “maybe it’s just me” – it’s not. Come see what might be possible instead.

If your voice vanishes the moment you want to speak, this one’s for you. For the socially anxious, shy or deeply sensitive, traditional advice like “fake it til you make it” falls flat. This gutsy guide helps you explore creative ways to build confidence – especially in groups.

Plus! There’s a new workshop invite inside where you can gently practice speaking up, your way – come join me in London to BE MORE GUTSY!
