Why I Started Confidence Academy

Why Smart, Capable People Stay Silent

You're in a meeting. Someone says something you disagree with.

You feel it rising in your chest, the response, the better idea, the truth.

But your voice doesn't come. Your throat tightens. Your mind goes blank.

Someone else speaks up. Says almost exactly what you were thinking. Everyone nods.

You sit there, invisible. Again.

Later, you'll replay it. What you should have said. How you should have said it.

But in the moment? Nothing.

The Problem

This isn't about knowledge.

You know what confident communication looks like.

This is about your nervous system.

When the stakes are high, your body takes over. Speaking up = danger.

Better to stay quiet. Better to stay safe.

But here's the truth: You can't think your way out of this. You need to practice your way through it.

Confidence Isn't Something You Have.

It's Something You Build.

The Shift: You don't wait to feel confident. You practice being confident until your body believes it. You rehearse difficult conversations until high-stakes situations feel normal. That's what Confidence Academy does. We give you the structure, the practice space, and the reps you need to rewire how you show up. Not more theory. Not more "just be yourself" advice. Actual practice. With feedback. Until it sticks.

What You Get:

  • Learn the Framework

    Over 34 workshops covering every aspect of communication you need to master—each with a workbook so you can go deep.

  • Practice Until It's Automatic

    The Practice Center lets you rehearse conversations with a communication coach playing your boss, your mom, your colleague—unlimited times until your nervous system feels safe.

  • Get Support & Accountability

    Weekly live Q&A with Simba. Private community. Real situations. Real feedback. No trolls. No judgment. Just people doing the work.
