How to STOP
Explaining
Yourself
Say what you mean with confidence.
Over-explaining rarely comes from having nothing to say — it comes form not fully trusting your self.
This practical workshop will help you understand why it happens and give you the tools to communicate with clarity, set boundaries and speak with confidence.

How much energy do you spend justifying your decisions, softening your opinions or adding another paragraph to an email in the hope that everyone will understand your intentions?
For many people, over-explaining isn't a communication problem; it's a self-trust problem. It often emerges from a fear of disappointing others, being misunderstood or being perceived negatively.
This workshop explores the hidden psychology behind over-explaining and why so many capable people struggle to say what they mean with clarity and conviction. Together, we'll examine the relationship between approval, boundaries and authentic communication, and explore what becomes possible when we stop seeking permission and start trusting ourselves.

What Are They Saying
I recently attended a workshop facilitated by Lesley, and I was truly impressed by her extensive knowledge, experience, and approachable demeanor. Lesley skillfully addressed a range of topics, offering not only solutions for various scenarios but also constructive feedback on how to navigate them effectively. Key takeaways for me included leading conversations with confidence, managing challenging discussions, and gaining insights into different behavior styles. I left the workshop feeling empowered and well-equipped thanks to the valuable knowledge Lesley shared
Lesley’s workshop was the perfect mix of insight and action. She delivered powerful strategies on boundaries, focus, and accountability in a way that was both engaging and easy to apply. Our team left feeling clear, energised, and ready to take ownership of their next steps.
I attended the Public Speaking workshop with Lesley. I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone who needs to hone their public speaking skills. Lesley's content and delivery were fabulous, the tools that she gave us to be able to get up and address an audience and deliver the information to we needed to get out was very effective. As well as being very professional, it was very engaging the strongest tool I took away for me personally was how to combat the nerves when up in front of an audience. I give this workshop five stars and will be recommending to my colleagues and clients. Thankyou Lesley, for an outstanding workshop.
