Practice Makes Confident

Safe to Be Awkward

This is where you make mistakes and learn from them - not at your partner's boss's dinner.

Real Feedback

Books can't tell you what YOU specifically need to work on. Live feedback can.

Small Groups

Max 4-6 people per practice session. Everyone gets personal attention and coaching.

Taught by Lara McKinney Mossler

I trained at Institut Villa Pierrefeu, Switzerland's premier finishing school, because I wanted to feel confident in any room I walked into. What I learned: conversation isn't about performing - it's about presence, listening, and making others feel valued. Now I teach these skills to people who want to connect with confidence.
