I help women use their most valued instrument.


And if you’re thinking “Annelise, what instrument are you talking about?!”

Let me give you some clues… 

You know that moment when you want to speak. But you hesitate.

When you had something to say… But you didn’t say it?

When you walked away thinking, ugh, why didn’t I just speak up?

And later, you replay the moment again and again. 

What you should have said.
What you could have said.
What you wish you’d said.

You picking up what I’m putting down? 

Incase you haven’t got it yet… 

Your most valued instrument = your voice

You have a voice.
We all have a voice.


But do you use it? Do you own it?
Do you advocate for yourself?

Because what I see FAR too freaking often are women just like you: Brilliant at what they do, full of zesty ideas, experienced. 

But when it’s time to speak, you hold back.

And because of this, you might be the expert in the room.

But, no one knows it. 

Because (tough love incoming) you don’t trust yourself to say it out loud.

You want to be the leader.
You want the opportunities.
You want to be that freaking woman!!!

And deep down, you know you can be.

I’ve seen it thousands of times. 

You’re not lacking skill.
You’re lacking certainty in your voice.

I’M READY

You’re not lacking skill.

I’M READY

I know you wish you could:

  • Have a thought AND freaking SAY it!!!
  • Proudly put your hand up without hesitation
  • Assert your value in a room
  • Command respect with your presence 
  • Not be hijacked by your nerves (for real… sweaty armpits anyone?)
  • Articulate yourself clearly and confidently 
  • Show up like a LEADER who deserves to be in that room

If thousands of clients can go from anxious and hesitant to confident and articulate, this is possible for you too.

To achieve this, you need two things:

Courage + Tools

 
Confidence doesn't come from feeling ready.

It comes from doing it ANYWAY.

15 years ago, I was terrified of public speaking. Sweaty palms, shaky voice, mind blanking - the works.

I kept waiting to feel "ready" before I spoke up.

But here's what I realized... you don't wait for courage to show up.

You act, and courage follows.

Confidence isn't something you're born with.

It's a muscle you build by DOING, even when you're SCARED.

This tour is where you'll build yours.

Why Invest In Your Voice?

Communication Training is a Non-Negotiable for Professional Women. You can have the strategy, the skillset, and the ambition - but if you can’t communicate it, nobody knows but you.

The reality:

  • 61% of professionals avoid speaking up in meetings out of fear of saying the wrong thing.
  • 65% struggle to express their thoughts clearly under pressure.
  • 72% experience “verbal freeze” when asked to speak in public.
  • 79% of professionals under 35 believe they’ve missed out on opportunities because they weren’t assertive enough.

Communication isn’t just a “soft skill”. It’s your most powerful tool - the difference between being overlooked and ignored to remembered and respected.

Who Is This For?

This experience is designed for:

  • Leaders and emerging leaders ready to amplify their executive presence and influence with powerful communication.
  • Professionals and corporate teams seeking training that sharpens their presentation, impact, and interpersonal skills.
  • Business owners and entrepreneurs who need to pitch, present, and promote with authority and clarity.
  • Women in male-dominated industries who are ready to hold their ground and have their voice heard.
  • Any woman who has ever thought: “I wish I’d spoken up.”

If you’ve ever second-guessed your ideas, held back in a meeting, or felt your voice didn’t carry the weight it deserved — this tour is for you.

Across a full day of immersive learning, live coaching, and practical exercises, you’ll develop the tools to:

Communicate with Clarity and Confidence

Learn to structure your thoughts under pressure, eliminate filler words, and deliver ideas that land.

Remove the Hesitation and Overthinking

Replace self-doubt with self-trust. Stop second-guessing every sentence and start owning your expertise.

Speak with Authority

Discover how vocal and physical presence shape how you’re perceived, and how to use them to command a room.

Influence and Make an Impact

Replace fluffy, over-apologetic language with clear, confident communication that earns respect.

Courageous Confidence in your Voice

It gets to be fun. It gets to be easy. You’ll leave not just capable, but excited to speak.

From Sydney to Perth, we’re unmuting the nation.

One voice at a time.

Get Your Ticket

You'll walk away with the tools, strategies, and unshakable confidence to:

  • Say YES to speaking opportunities without that paralyzing "oh god what if I mess up" voice that's made you turn down career-changing moments
  • Structure your thoughts in real-time and get your point across effectively instead of rambling while everyone zones out
  • Make people remember you three days later instead of forgetting you the second you sit down (that's the difference between "nice" and MEMORABLE) 
  • Speak authentically as yourself without sounding like a corporate robot because people smell fake from a mile away and it's exhausting
  • Flip the script from "I'm not good enough" to "I'm exactly who needs to be here" and actually BELIEVE it
  • Stop starting sentences with "sorry" or "this might sound stupid" (spoiler: it's never stupid, and that language is costing you respect) 

After this transformational experience, you won't just speak differently.

You'll be heard differently… by your boss, your team, your clients, and most importantly, yourself.

Want your whole team to do this full-day training? 

All are welcome, as we have corporate tables available.

When women learn communication skills as a group, something powerful happens:

  • They reinforce each other
  • They create accountability
  • They adopt a shared communication standard
  • They form stronger bonds
  • They uplift team culture from within 

This becomes the new standard.

Statement from You’re On Mute Founder and Director,

"I have had the pleasure of working with The Harding Miller Education Foundation to deliver communication training to young women in 2025. After working so intimately with the team and the girls, I knew this was an initiative that I wanted to support. Bringing Harding Miller on board as our Exclusive Tour Charity Partner is such an honour and I cannot think of a more worthy cause to give back to - educating the young women of our future.”

This gives high-potential young women the tutoring, technology, and support they need to rise above barriers, excel in their studies, and shape brighter futures for themselves - and their communities.
