Self Esteem & Confidence Coaching
With Telana Simpson – Courage & Communication Coach
Do you ever find yourself doubting your worth, replaying your mistakes in your head, or feeling anxious about what others think of you?
Maybe you avoid speaking up, second-guess your decisions, or feel like you’re shrinking when you actually want to stand tall.
It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
You like the feeling of confidence – knowing you can take on whatever life throws at you. That solid sense of self-belief that helps you speak up in meetings, advocate for yourself, or walk into a room without worrying what others think.
But when your self esteem is fragile or your self confidence takes a knock, it can feel like everything becomes harder: work, relationships, and even day-to-day decisions.
What if you could rebuild your confidence from the inside out?
For over two decades, I’ve been coaching people like you: professionals who want to feel more secure, assertive, and at ease with themselves.
And what I’ve found is this:
Most people confuse self-esteem and self-confidence. But they’re not the same. And understanding the difference is key.
Self-confidence is what helps you believe you can do something.
Self-esteem is what helps you believe you are worthy, no matter the outcome.
When you build both (true self-esteem and lasting confidence) you stop tying your value to your performance or others’ approval.
You feel grounded in who you are. And when life gets tough, you know how to steady yourself and rise again.
“I didn’t know there was a fundamental difference between self esteem and self confidence. Once I understood that, it changed my whole way of thinking. Now I feel like I have the tools to make a real change – for myself.”
– Laura Maggs
Why this work matters
As a communication and courage coach, I’ve helped hundreds of people develop a strong sense of self using tools rooted in neuroscience, cognitive behavioural approaches, and emotional intelligence.
This inner shift is often the foundation for:
- Speaking up without fear of judgment
- Setting clear boundaries with confidence
- Recovering from setbacks without losing your sense of self
- Enjoying healthy relationships, both personal and professional
- Growing your career by showing up fully and courageously
“My eyes have been opened to a whole new world. I feel empowered. I look forward to leading a vibrant life.”
– Paballo Mosiane“Understanding the separation between self esteem and confidence made the biggest difference. I immediately felt worthy again.”
– Hannelie, Sales Rep

“Bravery School has been an eye opener. I now realise how dysfunctional I have been. Through this course, I can identify negative thoughts, stop them, and act in a beneficial and optimal manner for ME. The result has been a better understanding of my self esteem and a higher value added to society.”

It starts with a decision
You don’t need to “fix” yourself.
You’re not broken.
You just need to reconnect to your innate worth and develop the skills to protect and strengthen it.
That’s what I’d love to help you do.
