A 100-day mindset-first training + coaching experience for women in management who are tired of overthinking, exhausted from the Good Girl conditioning, and ready to lead with clarity, calm, and actual confidence.
Does This Sound Uncomfortably Familiar?
You’re brilliant at your job…but inside your head? It’s like a full-time wrestling match with your inner critic. If you’ve ever thought…
If these feel less like ‘examples’ and more like your actual Tuesday… you’re exactly who this Academy was built for.
“I spend more time overthinking than leading.”
You second-guess every decision, every email, every meeting contribution. No matter how much you achieve, the inner critic whispers, “Are you sure you’re good enough?”
“I’m the reliable one—the Good Girl who never says no.”
You hate disappointing people. You want to be strong and fair, but setting boundaries feels selfish… and honestly, you’re drowning.
“I hold back in meetings because I’m afraid of being ‘too much’.”
You hesitate, get talked over, shrink yourself, or let others take the lead—even though you KNOW you have something valuable to say.
“I’m great on paper, but I don’t feel like it.”
It’s infuriating: your achievements keep going up, but your confidence doesn’t follow.
“Being told I ‘lack confidence’ absolutely stung.”
Instead of support, you got scrutiny. Now you’re hyper-aware, trying not to make a wrong move.
"I’m walking a tightrope every day.”
Speak up → labelled difficult.
Stay quiet → overlooked.
No one warned you leadership would feel like this.
“I look like I have it together, but inside I’m exhausted.”
You’re replaying conversations at 2am, wondering if you got it wrong, said too much, not enough… again.being a woman in management.”

The CMA for Women is a 100-day mindset-first training + coaching experience for women in management who are tired of overthinking, exhausted from the Good Girl conditioning, and ready to lead with clarity, calm, and actual confidence.
"Sarah's CMA course has been totally transformative. When I started with Sarah, my goal was to get confident in pursuing a personal brand after the release of my memoir based on a personal traumatic period of my life. As I worked my way through the course, grew in confidence, quietened my inner critic and truly got real and honest about what my personal and professional values were, EVERYTHING shifted."
~ Tracy Holmes
Here’s the Truth: You’re Not the Problem. The System Is.
As a woman in management, you’re expected to:
- Lead decisively
- Care deeply
- Never upset anyone
- Have perfect emotional control
- And somehow still “stay likeable”
…all while working in systems that weren’t built with women in mind.
Executives get support. Teams get training. Women managers? You’re told to “believe in yourself” and “just speak up more.” As if confidence magically appears when you read another book or colour-code your to-do list.
Meanwhile:
- You overthink every interaction
- You say yes when you mean no
- You replay conversations on loop
- You feel behind, even when you’re ahead
This isn’t a skills problem. It’s a thinking problem, a conditioning problem, and a systemic problem. And the longer you ignore it, the louder your inner critic becomes.

The Vicious Cycle You Already Know Too Well
You try to fix it by:
- Taking more courses
- Earning more qualifications
- Working harder than everyone else
- Preparing twice as much
- Waiting to finally “feel ready”
But the doubt never goes away. Because if you don’t change the way you think, then:
- Confidence stays fragile
- The inner critic stays in charge
- Leadership feels heavier than it needs to
You end up in the job you worked so hard to get…
still wondering if you belong there. You do.
You just haven’t learned how to lead yourself the way you lead everyone else.

The Confident Manager Academy for Women
A 100-day experience that helps women in management turn their inner critic into their inner coach — so they can lead with clarity, calm, and confidence.
This isn’t another leadership course. This isn’t “manifest confidence.” This isn’t “say the mantra and hope for the best.”
This is deep, practical, evidence-based mindset work designed specifically for women navigating overthinking, Good Girl conditioning, and double standards at work. Inside The CMA, you will:
- Understand why you doubt yourself (hint: it’s not because you’re weak or inexperienced)
- Identify your unique Confidence Ecosystem
- Break free from the patterns that drain you
- Build confidence that feels real — not performative
- Learn to lead without fear of being “too much”
- Stop working twice as hard to feel half as confident
- Finally trust your voice, decisions, and leadership
This is the work that changes your career — and your daily experience of work.
Here’s what makes The CMA different:
1. It’s Mindset First — Because Confidence Comes From Thinking Differently
Not louder. Not tougher. Not pretending your inner critic isn’t screaming.
2. It’s Built for Women in Management
This isn’t “generic leadership training.” This is about being a woman in a double-bind world where expectations, bias, workload, and invisible labour collide.
3. It’s Science-Backed + Practical
Everything I teach is rooted in neuroscience, behavioural psychology, and evidence-based confidence-building.
4. It’s High Touch — Without Demanding 12 Hours a Week From You
Weekly live coaching. A private community. A private podcast. Custom AI coaching bots. Structured reflection.
Office hours. Tools you’ll actually use.
5. It’s a Safe, Confidential Space
Every woman here is navigating her own version of doubt.
There’s no judgement, no jargon, and no pretending you’re fine when you’re not.
6. It’s FUN.
No corporate jargon. No dull leadership slides. No performative “rah-rah.” Just real growth, occasional swearing, dark humour, and genuine connection.
The Confident Manager Academy Is Different
This is a 100-day immersive experience for women in management who are done with surface-level advice and tired of being told to “just be more confident.”
This isn’t about another generic leadership training and it's definitely not wishful thinking. This is about the very real, very specific experience of being a woman in a system that was never built with you in mind. At The CMA, we go deeper—because the challenges women face in management aren’t just tactical, they’re emotional and systemic.
You're not struggling because you're not capable. You're struggling because you're managing teams and managing doubt, overthinking, and the exhausting mental load of trying to sound confident without being "too much."
The CMA is here to change that.
Here’s what makes CMA different:
- It’s smart, practical, science-backed, and built for women in management just like you.
- Inside, you'll get expert-led mindset training, real tools (not just theory), private coaching, peer support, custom AI coaching bots, networking, community accountability, and—most importantly—zero fluff. No toxic positivity.
- No vague “you’ve got this” mantras or manifestation nonsense; just evidence-based confidence work, tough love when you need it, and support that meets you where you’re at.
- Every student is navigating their own version of self-doubt, leadership curveballs, and career evolution, which means respect, discretion, and confidentiality aren’t just encouraged—they’re baked into the culture of The CMA. This is a space where you can be real, ask questions, and build your confidence without fear of judgment or side-eye.
- We make space for humour, celebration, and actual human connection. Because if you’re going to work on yourself, it should feel good. That means no stiff corporate jargon, no death-by-PowerPoint, and absolutely no hoity-toity seminars where everyone pretends they’ve got it all figured out. We’re here to laugh, learn, and get real.

The CMA for Women is where smart, ambitious women managers come to quiet their inner critic and lead with clarity, confidence, and no apologies. It’s strategic, self-aware professional development, not the kind that tells you to smile more and colour-code your to-do list (although I do love a good to-do list).
You’re here to build real confidence, the kind that sticks even when you're under pressure, underpaid, or underestimated.
I'm Sarah — Ireland’s Confidence Coach
Not a title I gave myself—IMAGE Magazine did that. And honestly? It fits. Confidence is my thing.
I’ve spent more than 10 years coaching ambitious women in management to:
- Understand their inner critic
- Build self-trust
- Lead with presence
- And stop letting doubt run their career
Before coaching, I was a Programme Manager in a high-stress environment that would make anyone question their sanity.
It taught me everything I know about pressure, performance, and the relentless chatter in a woman’s mind.
I don’t do fluff. I don’t do corporate nonsense. I don’t do “say it louder in the mirror.”
I teach women how to think differently, so their confidence finally matches their capability.

"I really enjoyed the audios, I could play while driving or walking. Some of them really struck home for me. I loved the idea of the UBPC … I see how it really helps build confidence and reminds you of everything you have achieved. It was also a good reminder of how your brain loves to focus on the negative stuff. I loved naming my inner critic, and this has made me really focus on building confidence in my kids. It has been a light bulb moment ."

The CMA is for women in management, or stepping into it, who are done shrinking, spiralling, or settling.
This is not for everyone. This is for the woman in management (or stepping into management) who:
- Are great at their job but terrible at acknowledging it
- Overthink everything
- Replay conversations for hours
- Fear of being “too much” or not enough
- Carry the emotional load at work
- People-please themselves into burnout
- Want to finally feel as confident as they look
- Know they could stay stuck for another year… and refuse to
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

The CMA Is Not For You If:
- Anyone looking for a quick fix
- Anyone who wants traditional leadership frameworks without mindset work
- Anyone not ready to reflect or be honest about their patterns
- Anyone expecting 1:1 coaching (that’s my Empowered Manager Programme)
- Anyone who believes confidence is about being louder or tougher
This is confidence in your bones — not confidence on your CV.
The CMA Scholarship
Each round of The CMA, one fully-funded place is awarded to a deserving woman through our scholarship programme. This scholarship is for someone who shows real potential, courage, and a deep desire to grow — but who may not currently have the financial means to access this kind of support.
You can nominate yourself or someone else. The ideal candidate is a woman in a management or leadership role (or on the cusp of one) who knows she’s capable of more, but finds herself stuck — not because of lack of ambition, but because life, finances, or circumstance keep getting in the way.
She might be navigating burnout, single parenting, job insecurity, or the invisible weight of being “the strong one.” She may have had to put herself last for too long. She’s the kind of woman who shows up for others, but rarely has the time, space, or resources to fully show up for herself.
She doesn’t need fixing. She needs a space to grow.
This scholarship is designed to give her just that.

Each round of The CMA, one fully-funded place is awarded to a deserving woman through my scholarship programme. This scholarship is for someone who does not currently have the financial means to access this kind of support. You can nominate yourself or someone else.
How long will I have access to the Academy?
You’ll have full access for 100 days, giving you plenty of time to dive into the trainings, connect with the community, and start seeing real progress. After that, as long as you’re the right fit, you’ll be invited to continue as a member for just €99/month—no pressure, just an option to keep growing with us!
Is this a traditional management training course?
Absolutely not. This is mindset-first leadership confidence for women navigating real-world pressure.
What if I can’t make the live sessions?
No worries! All live sessions are recorded and uploaded to the platform, so you can watch (or rewatch) at a time that suits you. You won’t miss a thing, and you can still ask questions in the community to get the support you need!
Ready to Lead With Confidence That Actually Sticks?
You’ve spent long enough being the woman who gets everything right on paper while doubting herself in practice.
You can keep doing this alone… or you can join the women who decided enough was enough — and changed their careers from the inside out.

How do I access the course?
The CMA is hosted on Circle, a private, easy-to-use platform where you’ll find all your training, discussions, and community support in one place. Once you join, you’ll get a login and can access everything from your computer or phone—no complicated tech, just a smooth, seamless experience!
What is the refund policy?
Join The CMA and give it a real go for 30 days. If you don’t feel like it’s helping you make progress in your levels of confidence, just drop me an email, and I'll refund you—no stress, no awkwardness. I’m confident you’ll love it, but if it’s not for you, no hard feelings!
Note: Refunds are only available within the first 30 days and apply to payment plans.
What is The CMA Scholarship?
Each round of The CMA, one fully-funded place is awarded to a deserving woman through our scholarship programme. This scholarship is for someone who shows real potential, courage, and a deep desire to grow — but who may not currently have the financial means to access this kind of support.
You can nominate yourself or someone else. The ideal candidate is a woman in a management or leadership role (or on the cusp of one). She might be navigating burnout, single parenting, job insecurity, or the invisible weight of being “the strong one.” She may have had to put herself last for too long. She’s the kind of woman who shows up for others — but rarely has the time, space, or resources to fully show up for herself.
I value my privacy—I don’t want my employer or colleagues to know I’m doing this.
Your professional growth is your business, and privacy is a core value of the Academy. Every member is on the same journey—navigating self-doubt, leadership challenges, and career growth—which means discretion, respect, and confidentiality are built into the culture of our community. This is a space where you can be open, ask questions, and work on your confidence without fear of judgment or exposure.
I’m a private person and feel a bit nervous about joining. Is participation in The Confident Manager Academy mandatory?
100%. I get it—putting yourself out there can feel a bit daunting, especially in a professional setting. That’s why The CMA is designed to be a safe and supportive space. You can engage as much or as little as you want—whether that’s diving into discussions or quietly taking in the training on your own. Either way, your participation stays private, and there’s zero pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. You’ll get all the benefits, on your own terms.
When does The CMA start?
March 10th 2026.
How do I know it's for me?
If you’re a professional woman ready to feel more confident in your career, this is for you—whether you’re a manager or not.
It’s right for you if you’re done with overthinking, self-doubt, and second-guessing and want practical strategies, expert support, and a community of like-minded women to help you step up with confidence. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place!
How long will I have access to the Academy?
You’ll have full access for 100 days, giving you plenty of time to dive into the trainings, connect with the community, and start seeing real progress. After that, as long as you’re the right fit, you’ll be invited to continue as a member for just €99/month—no pressure, just an option to keep growing with us!
Is this a traditional management training course?
Nope! If you’re looking for frameworks, KPIs, or another “10 Steps to Effective Leadership” worksheet… this isn’t for you. The CMA is mindset-first. It’s designed to help you transform how you think and turn your inner critic into fuel for your success. Confidence, clarity, and presence at work won’t come from learning more… they come from thinking differently.
I am not a manager but I feel you are looking deep into my sole. Can I still join?
Honestly? If this is speaking to you, then yes, you’re in the right place. You don’t need a manager title to want more confidence, clarity, and control in your career. The CMA is about mindset and stepping up in a way that feels authentic to you. If that’s what you’re after, you’re more than welcome to join!
What if I can’t make the live sessions?
No worries! All live sessions are recorded and uploaded to the platform, so you can watch (or rewatch) at a time that suits you. You won’t miss a thing, and you can still ask questions in the community to get the support you need!
