With The Confident Manager Academy, Your Confidence, and Career, Is In Good Hands
Being a manager isn’t just about running meetings and making decisions—it’s about dealing with that annoying voice in your head that loves to whisper, 'Are you sure you’re doing this right?' The Confident Manager Academy is for managers who know deep down they’re capable but keep getting side-eyed by their own self-doubt.
If you’re tired of overthinking every email, rehashing conversations in the shower, and feeling like you should have it 'all figured out' by now, this is where that stops. Here, we do the mindset work that quiets the inner critic, dials up your confidence, and gets you leading with the kind of clarity and authority that makes people sit up and listen—because you finally believe in yourself as much as everyone else already does.

"Had a bit of an AHA moment. I was listening to colleagues chatting about a subject I wasn't fully involved with. I was thinking "Oh my god they're so smart" and "You are not as good as them" but the difference since starting to work with you was I caught it this time. I recognised it was my inner critic. Before that voice would have run the show untethered but today I was able to recognise it."
- Manager, Pharmaceutical Industry
"Working with you completely changed how I see myself. My inner critic has been dampened, and instead of doubting myself, I actually back myself. I’ve learned to trust my strengths—and it paid off! I just got promoted to Programme Manager with a well-earned pay rise. And honestly? That pay rise has already covered my investment in coaching multiple times over!"

The CMA isn’t about learning more frameworks, strategies, or management tactics—it’s about transforming the way you think so you can finally release self-doubt, quiet your inner critic, and step into your role with unshakable confidence.
Learn to filter your inner critic—so it stops holding you back: That relentless voice in your head telling you you’re not ready, not qualified, or not good enough? You won’t just quieten it—you’ll learn to manage it. You’ll separate unhelpful doubt from the kind that pushes you to grow, so instead of letting your inner critic control you, you’ll start using it to your advantage. The result? A quieter mind, clearer decisions, and a version of self-talk that actually works for you, not against you.
Stop over-apologizing and start owning your leadership: You’ll stop diluting your authority with hesitant phrases like "Sorry to bother you", "Just checking in", or "Does that make sense?"—and instead, you’ll communicate like the leader you actually are.
Feel lighter, calmer, and in control of your leadership: Right now, doubt and overthinking might be making every day feel harder than it needs to be. Imagine leading without the weight of self-criticism—where you trust yourself, focus on what matters, and actually enjoy being a manager.
Trust yourself to manage effectively and authentically—because you’ll finally see what you bring to the table: No more rewriting emails ten times, avoiding tough calls, or seeking constant reassurance. Through deeper self-awareness, you’ll uncover your real strengths, recognize the skills that make you a capable leader, and finally believe in your own expertise. When you know what you bring to the table, decision-making becomes clearer, confidence feels natural, and second-guessing takes a backseat.

Managers are the backbone of every organization—expected to lead, support, and solve problems daily—yet they’re often the most overlooked when it comes to real support.
Leadership coaching is usually reserved for executives, while team training focuses on employees, leaving managers stuck in the middle, figuring it out on their own. The CMA changes that.
The CMA is specifically for women managers who know their biggest challenge isn’t just their workload—it’s their mindset. And let’s be honest—men aren’t dealing with this the same way. They’re not overanalyzing how they word their emails. They’re not questioning whether they deserve to be at the table. They’re not saying “yes” to everything out of fear of seeming difficult. But we are!
We’ve been taught to be accommodating. To soften our tone. To make sure we don’t come across as too direct, too bossy, too much. And that’s why so many women feel like confidence is just out of reach. The good news? You don’t have to feel this way forever.
If you’ve ever second-guessed a decision, hesitated to speak up, or felt like you should ‘have it all together’ by now, this is for you. We focus on the confidence shifts that make leadership easier: We focus on the mindset shifts that silence self-doubt and put you back in control. That means learning to trust your instincts instead of overanalyzing, handling tough conversations without your inner critic tearing you down afterwards, and finally leading with confidence instead of questioning every decision. Because being a great manager isn’t just about knowing what to do—it’s about believing you’re the right fekin' person to do it.

I'm Sarah!
And I'm THE Confidence Coach
Not a title I gave myself—IMAGE Magazine did that. And honestly? It fits. Confidence is my thing.
For over 10 years, I’ve coached ambitious women to shut down their inner critic, own the room, and step into the career they know they’re capable of—without second-guessing themselves. Before that? I was a Programme Manager at Trinity College, navigating the kind of high-stakes, high-pressure environment that makes or breaks your confidence. (Spoiler: It was tough, but it made me even better at what I do now.)
I don’t do jargon, fluff, or corporate buzzwords that make you want to nap. Just straight-talking, high-impact coaching that gets real results.
My approach helps my clients silence self-doubt and find a voice they actually want to listen to—their own. Because when confidence feels miles away, you don’t need another CPD course or strategic meeting with your boss. You need someone who gets it, makes you laugh when you want to cry, and shows you exactly how to get back on track.

Is The Confident Manager Academy Right For You?
The CMA is designed for ambitious mid-to-senior level managers committed to developing the mindset required for success.
We support professionals who want to confidently manage, make strategic career moves and master their mindset. Wondering if The CMA is right for you? Ask yourself the following questions;
- You’ve been told you “lack confidence” (and it stung). Whether it came from a performance review or your own reflection, you know this is the missing piece in your professional growth.
- You feel stuck between your team and senior leadership. You’re managing up, down, and sideways, but while everyone else gets support, you’re expected to figure it out alone.
- You want leadership to feel easier. No more mental spirals after tough conversations or feeling like you’re faking it. You’re ready to lead with clarity, confidence, and calm.
- You’re exhausted from doubting yourself. You’ve spent enough time second-guessing decisions, replaying conversations, and wondering if you’re ‘doing it right.’ You’re ready to trust yourself and lead with confidence.
- You’re ambitious and see management as a stepping stone. You have big career goals, and you know that how you show up as a manager will shape your next move. You want to be seen as a strong, capable leader—not just someone who does the job, but someone others trust to take on more.
- Or maybe… this is exactly where you want to be—but it doesn’t feel as good as it should. You’re not chasing the next big promotion; you just want to feel like you’re thriving in your role. Deep down, you know that if you had the right space, support, and confidence to reach your full potential, you’d feel fulfilled and content as a manager. But right now, it feels harder than it should.

You can’t quite tell if it’s you holding yourself back or if your workplace is making things more difficult—but either way, you know something needs to change.
The CMA Is Not For You If:
- You’re looking for a step-by-step management manual. This isn’t about checklists and corporate jargon—it’s about transforming how you think so you can lead with confidence in any situation.
- You’re happy to coast. If you have no ambition to grow, no desire to thrive and you’re perfectly content just going through the motions, this isn’t for you. This program is for managers who want more—more confidence, more clarity, and more fulfilment in their role.
- You’re not ready to take action. Change doesn’t happen just by signing up. If you’re not willing to reflect, apply what you learn, and step outside your comfort zone, this program won’t give you the transformation you’re looking for.
- You believe confidence is something you either have or you don’t. Confidence is a skill, and like any skill, it can be developed. If you’re not open to shifting your mindset, this program won’t be the right fit.
- You’re looking for a traditional management skills course. If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, my mindset is so much better than my technical and tactical skills,” this isn’t the program for you. This isn’t about learning more frameworks, strategies, or leadership tactics—it’s about transforming the way you think so you can finally release self-doubt, quiet your inner critic, and step into your role with unshakable confidence.
- You’re looking for 1:1 executive coaching. If you need deeper, personalized coaching, my private executive programs might be a better option—feel free to reach out!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We've got A's for your Q's
What does being a founding member mean?
Being a Founding Member means you’re joining The CMA at the very start, helping shape the experience while getting exclusive perks. You’ll lock in the best price ever (€999 or 3 payments of €333) and get direct access to me as the academy evolves. Plus, you’ll be part of the first group to experience the program, giving you a front-row seat to everything new that rolls 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 us an email, and we’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.
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?
The CMA kicks off on April 1st and the Founding offer runs for 10 weeks.
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!
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!
How much is the CMA?
The total investment for The Confident Manager Academy is €1,500. You can pay in full or choose a 4-month payment plan of €375 per month—whatever works best for you!
However, as a Founding Member, you get exclusive access for just €999 or 3 monthly payments of €333. This is a one-time offer for those joining at the very start—so if you’re in, now’s the time to grab it!
