A 4-week programme for women in leadership

"You were never quiet. You were muted."
Gayle McVea
Something stops you saying it where it counts. You are not new to this. You are experienced, prepared, capable.
And yet.
- You rehearsed what you wanted to say. You said nothing.
- You started a sentence with sorry before you'd even made your point.
- Someone else said exactly what you were about to say. The room responded.
- You got interrupted three times. Then got told you need to work on your assertiveness.
- You knew exactly what you should have said. On the drive home. Too late.
- You over-explained until your point stopped sounding like a point.
- You left the meeting and replayed it for the rest of the day.
This is not who you are. This is what happened to you. By the time you reached leadership, it had become a habit - a communication habit, built over years of navigating rooms that did not always respond well when you spoke up.
The good news: habits can be named. And once named, they can be changed.

"Not louder - more recognisably you."
Unmuted starts with your specific communication pattern, not generic confidence advice - and gives you tools that work in the room, in real time. Places are limited to keep the live coaching sessions more intimate and personal.
Women who have done this work say
In their own words.
100% of participants in our last cohort said the programme met or exceeded their expectations
"Gayle put us all at ease from the start, challenged and encouraged us to put our learning into practice and
armed us with clear and practical tools and techniques that we can use over and over again in every day settings."
Ailsa
"This course has genuinely been transformative. I am leaving the programme feeling more assured,
more intentional, and far better equipped to lead with visibility and impact."
Charlene
"It helped me reconnect with my confidence and reclaim my voice as a woman in professional spaces.
I am leaving this course feeling empowered and ready to speak up with confidence again."

Your Voice Strategist
I'm Gayle McVea.
I spent twenty years in senior leadership navigating rooms that didn't always respond well when I spoke up. I know what it is like to prepare meticulously, walk into a meeting, and still come away having said less than half of what I planned.
I am a Voice Strategist for women in leadership. Not a therapist. Not a wellbeing coach. Unmuted is the programme I wish had existed when I needed it - and it's opening again soon.
