FAQs
I like this concept. But can I really expect a transformation to happen? I’m skeptical.
It may be hard to believe that you can go from wallflower quiet to confident speaker in less than 60 days, yet the proof is here: yes, you can!
I understand feeling skeptical. That feeling often comes when you’ve tried something before and it didn’t work.
Here’s how The Speak with Confidence Roadmap is different:
First, it’s a culmination of thousands of hours of 1:1 coaching that I’ve done with clients over the past 25 years, and the concepts are proven strategies that work.
The other great news is that by choosing this option, you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars to work with me, which is where my 1:1 packages start. Also, I now work with only a small number of women.
That’s why, inside the course, you get ALL of my 1:1 lessons distilled into a 7-step framework for a fraction of the price.
These lessons are battle-tested and results secured.
(You can read the proof-is-in-the-doing testimonials from my past clients here)
The second way that the Speak with Confidence Roadmap is different from other courses is the DOABLE actions and supportive materials that come with the course.
- 7 modules that you can listen to or watch at your own pace
- Over a dozen worksheets that let you solidify the new thoughts in your head into tangible actions that will shift your confidence
- Countless strategies on how to build your skillset
- A focused module on courageous conversations – saying the hard things with grace and poise
- 2 bonus resources to make your presentations –online and in person– highly memorable
The third way The Speak with Confidence Roadmap is different is our Confidence Guarantee.
I’m SO confident in the 7-step framework inside this course that I put a 30 day money-back Confidence Guarantee behind it.
If you’ve done the work and have the completed worksheets to prove it…and still find yourself with knees knocking, no talking, then you get your money back. Guaranteed.
I‘m in a busy season of life. Can I go at my own pace?
Absolutely! This is designed for the woman-on-the-go.
You can listen to the lessons on your commute to work or in your office.
However, let me put on my coaching hat for a minute. Because we’ve all bought an item before that we wanted but it’s stayed on the closet shelf for a while.
This course is designed to give you the confidence to speak up – to say a powerful “no,” bring a clear idea to the table and to stand your ground or negotiate well when it comes to issues that matter to you. This is worth making time to master.
If you truly don’t want to see that shift in your life, then this isn’t the time for you to invest in this skill set.
If you’re ready to start speaking with confidence, then this course is the match to the dry wood inside you that has been yearning to be set ablaze.
And you have lifetime access to the course so you can return to key lessons before big meetings, speaking at a family event or rewatch Module 6 before a “difficult conversation”.
Can I purchase it for our office to use as a training?
Absolutely. It’s best to reach out to my team at hello@karenlaos.com as we have a few different ways we can support your office.
Is it really risk free?
100% YES! If you try it for 30 days and you put in the work, but don’t see results, you will get your entire investment back. It’s my Confidence Guarantee.
Why should I do this? No, really… why should I prioritize it?
The thing to consider is opportunity cost.
The word “cost” evokes an image of monetary value – and yes, you could be losing thousands in raises, benefits, and negotiation deals, that you aren’t even aware of. But what about the other costs?
Has keeping silent been chipping away at your self-confidence? Breaking down relationships? Leaving you frustrated with trampled boundaries?
If you’ve been having an ongoing conversation with self-doubt in your head for awhile now, then I’m going to be a coach and ask you:
Why should you do this? No, really…why should you prioritize speaking with confidence?
Take a moment to think on this and answer that question. What is your compelling reason to change?
What is it costing you to not speak confidently?
“Karen’s practical approach, combined with genuine compassion, helped me break through limiting beliefs, sharpen my strengths, and realign my goals with a renewed sense of purpose.”
– Lori K., Commercial Strategy Leader
While I have led global teams and consulted many leaders, I’ve also been where you are.
That changed.
Today, I speak up with clarity and confidence. I trust my voice, and I know my ideas will be heard.
Through years of real-world experience and coaching thousands of women, I distilled what works into a clear, 7-step framework — one that replaces hesitation with confidence and turns thoughtful women into influential communicators and leaders.
This is the framework I wish I had sooner.
And now, it’s yours.
Step into the influential leader you were meant to be.
