"The Biggest Killer of Courage is Overthinking" - Sarah Leffley
The biggest killer of courage is overthinking. The more you sit in silence, contemplate or censor yourself, you signal to yourself that your voice can only be expressed when it is rehearsed or palatable.
Command is the art of knowing that whatever room you walk into, whoever you speak with and what ever you share, you have got your own back. Your mind doesn’t go blank, your voice doesn’t tremble with fear and your heart beat is steady.
Every person in this membership has a point of view that is entirely their own, shaped by their experience, their pain and their way of seeing the world. Most of you have never fully claimed it. This workshop is designed to explore what is already inside you, name it with clarity, and help you understand why staying quiet about it is costing you more than speaking up ever would.
- Where do you use overthinking as a way to avoid saying the thing you already know?
- The people closest to you have never told you what it actually feels like to be on the receiving end of you. If they did, if they were completely honest, what do you think they would say?
- What is the one sentence that captures the unsaid thing most precisely — not the backstory, not the context, just the thing itself?
- What has someone tried to tell you, directly or indirectly, that you did not fully receive until it was too late?
- If listening were a skill you were genuinely bad at, what would be the evidence in your relationships right now?
- Who in your life consistently absorbs the version of you that you would never consciously choose to be?
- What are you most afraid will happen the moment you say it? Be precise about the fear: name exactly what you believe will be lost.
- What is the real reason you overexplain? Is it to inform, or is it to protect yourself from being misunderstood?
- Write one sentence that captures exactly what you stand for. If you can't write it in one sentence, you haven't found it yet.
- If the ripple you are creating right now continued unchanged for five more years, what would the relationships around you look like?
"You don’t need a louder voice, you need a steadier one. A voice that isn’t trying to be liked, isn’t trying to be perfect, and isn’t trying to manage everyone else’s reactions. When you communicate with clarity and care, you stop performing and start leading".
Click for this months affirmations"This month’s journal prompts are an invitation to reclaim your voice, strengthen your boundaries, and communicate with the kind of clarity that comes from self-respect. Because being clear is not harsh, it is self-honour."
WEEK 1 - Reclaiming Your Voice
- Where in your life have you historically softened, silenced, or diluted your voice in order to keep the peace or make others comfortable?
- Reflect on moments where you held something back .. an opinion, a boundary, a desire, or the truth.
- What would the more self-respecting version of you have said instead?
- Write the words you wish you had spoken.
WEEK 2 - Speaking with Clarity & Intention
- When you communicate at your most powerful, what does that look and feel like?
- Think about a time when you spoke clearly and people listened - whether in business, friendship, or leadership.
- What energy were you holding? What made your words land?
- Now reflect on where in your life you could bring that same clarity and intention into your conversations moving forward.
Week 3 - Boundaries & Truth
- What conversations are you currently avoiding because they feel uncomfortable or confrontational?
- What truth is waiting to be spoken?
- Write out exactly what you would say if you trusted that you could communicate it with calm confidence, kindness, and self-respect.
- Remember: clear communication is not conflict .. it is self-honour.
Week 4 - Amplifying Your Prescence
Imagine the version of you whose voice carries calm authority, clarity, and conviction.
How does she speak in meetings, conversations, relationships, and leadership spaces?
What habits support her voice?
