Master communication = master life

Influence through presence

Essential People Skills That Drive Success

Are you working hard, showing up every day, yet still feeling held back—questioning yourself, hesitating in key moments, or unsure how to communicate the confidence others seem to project so easily?

You want to advance, be taken seriously, and feel grounded in your decisions, but your presence doesn’t reflect your potential just yet. Without a clear way to convey authority and influence, even simple interactions can feel heavier than they should.

Confidence begins long before you speak—your body language, clarity, and presence shape how you feel and how others respond. It’s time to show up with conviction, communicate with impact, and grow into the success you’re reaching for.

I’ve spent my life moving between worlds —  corporate leadership, international photography, self-defense, and confidence coaching — and they all taught me the same truth: people respond more to the presence you bring than to what you say.

After nearly two decades in global corporations, years photographing athletes, CEOs, hotels, yachts, and navigating unfamiliar places alone across 46 countries, I learned how quickly body language, clarity, and quiet authority shape outcomes.

In today’s demanding environments, competence and talent isn’t enough. The real challenge is communicating with confidence, overcoming internal hesitation, and showing up in a way that reflects your capability — whether you’re in a meeting, leading a team, or walking into a new environment on your own.

What separates those who advance from those who stay stuck is strategy and presence: the ability to read people, understand the environment you’re in, influence a room, manage pressure, and communicate with both competence and warmth.

These skills are not personality traits; they’re learnable.

Your posture, gestures, and nonverbal cues build trust long before your words do.

Pair that with situational awareness, a clear plan, and the right daily actions, and you shift how others perceive you — and how you perceive yourself.

Believing in your potential, trusting your intuition, and stepping into leadership in both presence and action is what ultimately moves you forward.

ABOUT VIVIEN

Hi, I’m Vivien — a corporate manager, award-winning photographer, certified self-defense instructor, and confidence coach.  My career has taken me from global boardrooms to yacht decks, hotel suites, and unfamiliar cities around the world, and every step taught me the same truth: your presence speaks long before you do.

I’ve lived in three countries, traveled through 46 — most of them alone — and built a career that blends leadership, nonverbal communication, confidence-building, and situational awareness. Years of traveling independently, working with executives, and photographing people in high-pressure settings taught me how quickly body language reveals confidence, fear, clarity, hesitation, or authority. It also taught me how to read an environment and understand human behavior with precision — skills I now teach to my clients.

my mission

I believe every person carries a God-given strength meant to create impact. My work equips you to use that strength boldly — to communicate your worth, lead with conviction, and move through both professional and unfamiliar environments with confidence.

Because when you stop negotiating with your self-doubt and dimming your potential, and start standing in your real authority, everything in your life shifts — including how people treat you.

my SECRET SAUCE

I teach the skills that actually change how people perceive you — the ones no degree or corporate training ever covered. How to disarm self-doubt, read people and environments with precision, and use your presence as a strategic tool instead of a liability.

My approach blends body language and real-world experience from leading teams, photographing all sorts of humans, and navigating unfamiliar places alone. The result? You walk into any room — or any situation — with clarity, calm authority, and a presence that speaks before you do.

Your results

People get first immediate results just from reading Leadership Confidence — feeling better in their body, improving their posture, and finally understanding the nonverbal cues that shape how others perceive them. But when we work together, everything accelerates. The breakthroughs happen in hours - not in weeks or months.

You learn how to overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome for good — with tools that work anywhere, in any situation. Once self-doubt stops running the show, everything in your life improves.

You stop second-guessing yourself.
You stop replaying conversations.
You stay steady under pressure because you trust yourself to handle the moment.

People listen, you get interrupted less, you speak with clarity, and leadership finally sees your potential. Opportunities appear because you show up like someone who can take them on.

You communicate clearly and set boundaries without guilt. Relationships feel easier because you’re grounded instead of reactive.

Understanding body language and nonverbal communication becomes a game changer in your everyday life. You read people faster, recognise dynamics instantly, and know how to adjust your own presence so interactions become smoother, clearer, and far less draining. You stop misreading situations, stop taking things personally, and start navigating conversations with confidence and accuracy.

You feel better in your body — less tension, more calm, more control. Your mind is clearer. You get hours of mental space back each day.

Your influence grows. Your confidence becomes reliable. And the tools keep working wherever you go.

This isn’t just confidence — it’s an identity shift.

How others read you

Self-Assessment

How Others Read You is a short self-assessment that reveals how your presence is currently landing — and whether subtle nonverbal signals may be quietly undermining your authority.

Rather than measuring personality traits, this assessment looks at the specific behaviors, internal responses, and nonverbal cues that shape how people in general and colleagues or leaders specifically interpret you in meetings, discussions, and high-visibility moments.

You'll get clarity without guesswork. Instead of generic advice like “be more confident,” you’ll understand what signals you’re sending now, why they’re being interpreted the way they are and exactly what to adjust so your presence matches your capability. It’s the fastest way to identify where authority may be leaking — and what to do about it.

What Others Are Saying

There is a reason for not booking any clients and that s not because you are not a good photographer. It’s because you are a bad enterpreneur. And Vivien will teach you how to become a great one.

In the span of one zoom call with Vivien, she was able to give me so much clarity and direction for my business. She was able to give me confidence and affirmation, and point out little things that weren’t working in my business while also giving me solid advice to be able to turn them around. I so appreciate the time she took to look over my website and social media before our call, and her ability to give me constructive criticism without making me feel inadequate. I got so much out of our one conversation; I can’t imagine what heights she would help push you to if you are lucky enough to do one of her one-on-one courses. I highly recommend talking to her if you feel stuck, or directionless, or even just need a little affirmation on your journey.

Vivien was super friendly and incredibly helpful to me, before our call she encouraged me and helped me dig deep with any questions I could think of before our meeting. Not only did she answer my several questions, she gave me amazing advice and really challenged me to a fresh perspective in areas where I have been struggling. The best part is that I never felt embarrassed or ashamed in where I’m struggling. She was so kind to me! Professional and ready to help was my experience. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions

How does self-doubt develop and why is it so hard to overcome?

Self-doubt is a habit. It has formed from past experiences, conditioning, and comparing ourselves to others. It can feel difficult to break because these thought patterns become ingrained over time. I give you both the understanding of why you have specific doubts and patterns and proven and practical tools to break this cycle.

Can confidence really be learned, or is it just something some people naturally have?

Yes, it can be learned and no, it's not something some people have and others don't. Confidence is a skill, not a personality trait, and therefore can be learned just like any other skill.

How does Body language impact confidence?

Body language not only influences how others see you but also how you feel about yourself. Your posture, gestures and expressions send powerful messages to your brain, reinforcing confidence and calmness.

How does understanding myself and my innder guidance help me become a better leader?

Tapping into your inner guidance builds self-trust, which is essential for effective and confident leadership. When you trust yourself, you can make decisions that align with your values, lead others authentically, and inspire those around you. Understanding yourself also helps you understand and interact better with others.

How can I incorporate my faith into my creative business?

Incorporating faith into your business involves aligning your work with your core values and beliefs. This can be achieved by making decisions based on your faith principles, seeking guidance through prayer or meditation and creating a purpose-driven plan that reflects your spiritual values.

What role does intuition play in creative decision-making?

Intuition plays a crucial role in creative decision-making by providing insights and guidance that may not be immediately apparent through logical thinking alone. Tuning into your intuition involves practicing mindfulness, learning to listen to your inner voice and trusting your gut feelings.

How does confidence impact my selling skills?

Confidence sells. Period. And many entrepreneurs feel uncomfortable selling their services and doing the "money talk". Confidence is key to selling authentically because it conveys conviction and belief in the value you’re offering. When you’re confident, potential clients or customers sense your passion and trust in what you bring to the table. I will guide you in building your confident selling skills —so you can communicate your unique value with clarity and enthusiasm, making it easier for others to see the impact you make.

How can I set and achieve meaningful goals in personal and professional life?
