Weâre Hayley, Stacie & Ellie. Together, we help quieter people like you to feel more calm and confident so you can speak up when you need to, join the social group you want to, make new friends and go on dates without the panic, get the grades that you deserve, and⌠actually enjoy talking with people!
We know your pain, because we were the quiet ones too. The ones who would freak out whenever someone would talk to us. We know what itâs like to feel unable to ask for the help you need, and pretend to be okay. We've felt the panic that the mere mention of the words âpresentationâ and âinterviewâ can trigger.
We were so embarrassed about how âflawedâ we were, we just wanted to hide ourselves away. So we did everything we could to avoid speaking in front of people and being the centre of attention.
Itâs taken us over a decade of research, counselling, reading, coaching, courses, training, and getting super uncomfortable in the name of growth, to collect enough puzzle pieces to understand what was going on for us and to learn how we can make changes for ourselves to show up how we want to in life.
We know itâs so hard because no one really talks about this (and seriously, who has a decade to spend trying to figure it all out for themselves?). That's why we feel itâs so important to share everything we have learned, because you shouldnât have to feel alone, broken and ashamed the way that we did for so long.
The Quiet Connections community is a safe space for you to connect with new friends who struggle with speaking up in groups and conversations too - and this is a key part of growing your confidence!

- Youâll see the events happening in your area and online.
- You can get involved in our latest campaigns to reframe quiet and raise awareness.
