The School of Visibility
It's time for you to be seen and heard.
You’re building a business, organisation, community, or body of work that supports other women and/or femme.
It’s game-changing (or has the potential to be). And it feeds into a collective legacy that so many feel called to be a part of at this time. One that changes the way people think, learn, parent, build communities, and engage with one another. 2
The thing is, so much of this work is new or doesn’t follow a traditional and well-established path. Many of these topics are challenging to talk about. They’re either deeply misunderstood or they’re fraught with triggers that can lead to criticism, confronting conversions, and unnecessary conflict.
So the obvious action is to remain a small target. Not visible to too many people. Impacting a small number of people in a significant way without exposing yourself to the masses.
BUT…
There’s that pull. To do more. To say more. To reach more people and have a greater impact. If only there were a way to do that – to be more visible to the people who are waiting to hear from you – without experiencing that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Welcome to the School of Visibility
We exist to support you to overcome your fears around being seen and heard (we call them visibility blocks). We’ll provide you with the tools you need to release those blocks, we’ll teach you how to free yourself from the internalisation of structural inequality, and we’ll help you to lead differently (in an inclusive, collaborative, and non-hierarchical way).

When not enough people know about you, it’s impossible to create the change you want to see in the world. But, when you’re trying to expand your reach and make a significant impact in the world, visibility fears invariably arise.
Most people will tell you to push through your fears. ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’. And maybe you’ve tried that too. And found yourself exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed out. Or you’ve pulled back, sure there’s another way, but not sure where to find it. We’ve got your back.
Your Visibility Plan
Clear your visibility blocks
Visibility blocks are the result of those internal fears that say, ‘Don’t be too successful, don’t inconvenience anyone, don’t let anyone see you selling things, don’t share an opinion that others might disagree with.’ We'll help you clear them out.
Free yourself from gendered conditioning
Gendered conditioning says there are two genders; men and women. It then says, 'a woman’s place is in the home. Women with opinions are ‘too much’, ‘too aggressive’. Women’s bodies are objects to be controlled. Women’s voices are shrill and not what we want to hear from our leaders.’ We'll clear all the negative self talk this kind of conditioning creates.
Develop and implement a plan
After all that internal work, it's time to take action! We'll work with you to get clear on the impact you're here to make in the world, the message you want to share, and the strategy you'll employ to see that impact realised.
We help you overcome your visibility blocks and find ways to be visible that feel right for you.

"I didn’t really know what I needed when I enrolled as a student at the School of Visibility but I knew I was stuck. I have had so many internal shifts since starting, I feel like I different person. I’m much more confident to say what I think, and in a calm, gentle way. I have been standing up for myself in my personal life in a way I haven’t before. I think this work is so important, not just for women starting businesses but for women more generally. Thank you thank you thank you!"

Hello change maker
I know you’re working to make a positive difference in the world. Your work and your ideas are important and it’s frustrating when you show up every day, doing all the things you’re supposed to do to move the needle in your business, but don’t see the same progress others are experiencing. I hear you. I’ve been there.
Here’s what I learned after much trial and error; when there’s any fear within you about being judged, criticised, making a mistake, saying the wrong thing, or being attacked by trolls, you’ll hold back from being visible. You won’t implement the list building strategies people teach you. You’ll get very busy focused on the backend of your business and not have time to do the stuff that grows your reach and connects you with people who would benefit from your work. Pushing through won’t help.
Doing nothing won’t help. The place to start is within. By looking for and clearing out the visibility blocks that we call carry around. Then, once you’ve done the inner work, the outer work flows. You just have to direct your attention to the inside, first.

Your decision to speak up (or not) matters. It’s very easy to tell yourself you’ll do it later, or you’re not ready to be visible, or you don’t have the time. But if you want to see positive change – in your business, life, or in the world – you’re going to have to make a different choice.
You don’t need to be ready to be visible. That’s our job. We know how to prepare you for visibility and we’ll help you to feel ready by walking you gently through a process of releasing resistance and stepping into confidence.
It’s far too easy to waste time and money learning strategies or tactics that don’t appreciate how important it is to get your internal world sorted first.
We all make poor choices when our internal world is cluttered. You become fueled by doubt and follow all the shiny objects because you aren’t clear about our own path.
We can change that for you. When you work with us, you’ll gain a better understanding of yourself and how to leverage your natural way of being visible. Which ultimately means your visibility efforts become more authentic, far more enjoyable, and much more effective.
