Bold & Believe: Why we Exist

Welcome to the Bold & Believe blog, a place where I’ll share my musings on work, life, career and growth. First up, the story behind Bold & Believe and why I care so deeply about its mission.

I’ve had the idea - and the domain name - for Bold & Believe for almost two years before finally bringing it to life.

I’ve long believed that transformational growth requires bold moves. Saying yes to the interview. Stepping up to lead a team. Moving countries. Reporting into someone unfamiliar. Jumping out of a plane. Having the baby. The list keeps going. Nothing meaningful or memorable in my life or career ever happened without a willingness to take a risk, be confident and be courageous, even though if felt terrifying at the time.

But my almost 20-year career taught me that this is only half the story. Bold action without belief in yourself, your team, your work, your organisation can slip quickly into something reckless or destabilising. The inflection points in my career didn’t come from being bold alone. They came from the moments when I understood and backed myself fully. When I put myself forward for opportunities I would once have avoided. When I stood in my strengths rather than apologising for my weaknesses. When I owned my capability and my capacity for excellence. That’s when new roles landed, keynotes happened, awards followed. I was fortunate to have managers who recognised and championed my strengths. But I also know how patchy and inconsistent that support can be. That insight sits at the heart of my work today. I want to help people build and strengthen their belief muscle so they can see, feel and trust their own potential. From that place, they’re equipped to make the bold moves that can transform their life.

Bold & Believe was created to give leaders the space and support to think clearly, feel grounded and move forward with intention. Bold is the courage leadership demands. Believe is the steadiness that lets you trust yourself. Together, they’re a superpower. I’ve lived it. And my mission is to help thousands of others live it too.
