The Content
We’ll explore what ‘real’ confidence is (and what it isn’t) and how you can genuinely build your confidence, regardless of your age or life stage. We will examine the difference between confidence and self-esteem and define how confident you currently are. We’ll identify the areas of confidence you most want to focus on during the program.
In this module you’ll learn how your personal values, your purpose and your vision are the most effective tools on your journey to build your confidence. I’ll share exercises to help you identify each of these elements so you feel a greater sense of clarity about yourself and your career and life direction.
This week you’ll learn about how to identify with and engage your innate strengths. I’ll share practical tips to help you to connect with the most confident part of yourself and overcome imposter syndrome as you bring the confident you to life.
This week’s focus will be on letting go of the limiting beliefs that are currently holding you back. You’ll learn about cultivating a growth mindset, how to quieten your inner critic and how mindfulness and self-compassion can help you to move forward with a true sense of confidence.
In this week’s module, we’ll look at the relationship between fear and confidence and identify the steps required to build courage as you begin to pursue your goals. We’ll discuss how to build resilience, how to manage conflict, how to elevate yourself and find support as you grow your confidence.
Learn how to move on from your self-sabotaging behaviours and cultivate the habit of confidence. This will keep you on track after the course has completed so you continue to pursue your version of a fulfilling career and life.

What people say about Kate’s group coaching programs
RF, Melbourne
‘I have been working with Kate for approximately six months and I cannot put into words what an inspiration and impact Kate has had on my life, decisions and outlook in general. Kate is very encouraging life and confidence coach. She has reinforced my confidence in the choices I’ve made and enabled me to trust my intuition. Kate has a very positive, unique and gentle approach and her outlook is very refreshing. Above all, the coaching was motivating, enabling me to focus on my future goals and put in place actions to achieve these goals and continually monitor my progress.’TJ, Melbourne
‘My work with Kate has brought home the importance of knowing what I value in life, and of working out how I can live accordingly, at work and at home. Kate’s keen perception meant that I felt understood. In addition, her experience with other clients helped me to realise that many people feel like me and that I am part of a valuable sector of society. This realisation has given me more confidence in myself, and a sense of optimism about the future that I was lacking before. Thanks for your professionalism and humanity, Kate.’ Caroline Cull
It has been a privilege and joy to have had Kate James as my personal coach. It has helped me to articulate a vision for my life that is truly meaningful to me and has given me the tools and guidance to move towards it. Kate is calm, kind and compassionate and her advice has helped me turn a difficult corner in life that I could not see my own way around. Thank you Kate.’ Louise, Melbourne
The Holistic Ingredient
I have held mixed feelings around personal coaching in general, as I am a gentle person who does not identify with the ‘ra-ra’ hype associated with some forms of coaching, but I knew I was keen to explore some ideas with depth and felt Kate’s approach and insight would be the right fit for me. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone interested in gaining perspective at a deeper level, but also needing the practical tips to follow through on goals and ideas.’ 
Amy Crawford
The Holistic Ingredient
Like everything that the gifted Kate James does, this delightful book is full of gentle, thoughtful and poignant messages that do as the very name says, it inspires the reader to Believe in Yourself & Do What You Love. This gorgeous book simplifies what can be a particularly overwhelming process of finding our true purpose; encouraging us to take time in this journey, to embrace vulnerability, to ask the deep seated questions of ourselves without judgement – but with self compassion and kindness. Gently directing our self discovery through her gorgeously positive words, Kate’s book is the perfect accompaniment to a comfy couch, countless cups of tea, scrap books and pencils. It is a must read for anyone questioning their journey and in need of further clarity and encouragement.’ Amy Crawford, The Holistic Ingredient

Kate’s approach in her coaching sessions is relaxed and friendly while being efficient and results driven. She very quickly understood where my business was at and as such was able to provide me actionable tasks that resulted in increased profit at a time when it was much needed. I will see Kate again and continue to recommend her to other business owners.’ Angus Wurth, Bonsai Media
Elise Bialylew
Mindful in May
I had some coaching sessions with Kate to help me in becoming clearer about a project that I dreamt of running. Kate is authentic, professional, sparkling with creativity and truly inspiring. She provided generous ideas and helped me to develop this idea into a reality. I had been to other career counsellors in the past but this was an entirely different experience for me. Kate’s practice is grounded in the wisdom of meditation and you can certainly feel her clarity in the room. I felt absolutely blessed that although I found her through a random web search, she proved herself to be so helpful. I have already spread the word to my friends and would highly recommend seeing her if you are needing inspiration and support to reach your goals.’ Elise Bialylew, Founder, Mindful in May
Clare Bowditch
Big Hearted Business
‘I absolutely adore Kate. She is a highly skilled, generous and enormously gifted business coach, especially for those who don’t traditionally consider themselves “business people”. I discovered her through sheer luck (thanks Google), and I remain sincerely grateful for the counsel she offered me back in 2010 when I was first fleshing out the bones for what would become Big Hearted Business. Thanks Kate!’Emma
“Thanks Kate! This program has refocused and rejuvenated my life. I have so many changes in progress and am actually enjoying the process and the challenge instead of feeling impatient. I am calmer, happier and excited about a future that reflects my true self.” 
Catherine
"Working with Kate has literally been life changing. In addition to being extremely professional and having the highest integrity, Kate is wise, kind and generous. She is passionate about making a difference in people's lives and does just that with her compassionate, grounded and creative approach. When I first met Kate, I was longing to find more meaning and purpose in my life but I lacked the confidence to start pursuing what inklings I did have. Working with Kate helped me gain clarity and, more importantly, develop the self-belief to pursue what is truly aligned and meaningful for me. What a gift! Thank you Kate."
