In this free guide you will learn:
- The five thinking patterns that cause self-consciousness and how to break them.
- Why you don’t need to change your personality to feel confident.
- The science-backed mindset shift that helps you stop overthinking and start speaking up.
- How to feel grounded and capable in high-stakes meetings or conversations.
This guide is for you if:
- You’re competent but constantly overlooked or underestimated.
- You freeze when it’s your turn to speak, even when you know the answer.
- You replay conversations for days and wish you’d spoken up.
- You believe self-consciousness is just “who you are”
If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

Hey there!
I’m Telana, Your Courage Coach
For over 20 years, I’ve helped corporate professionals overcome self-consciousness, because I lived it myself.
I used to blush approaching my professor, and then in business, my managers. I would outsource speaking opportunities, and hear “Why are you so quiet?” constantly. I believed self-consciousness was my unchangeable personality.
I was wrong. Today I speak to hundreds, host podcasts, and lead with confidence. What changed? The thinking patterns that created my self-consciousness, not my personality.
Using psychology and neuroscience, I help professionals transform self-doubt into confident leadership without changing who they are.
If you’re competent but invisible, brilliant but silent: you’re in the right place. This guide shows the path forward.
“Attending Telana’s sessions helped me rebuild my confidence after a tough season.
I even found the courage to approach someone about a business idea I’d been too
scared to start before!”
