Hello Corporate Baddie!
Do you wish you could speak up and say what's on your mind with eloquence and authentic confidence?
Do you wish you could speak up and say what's on your mind with eloquence and authentic confidence?
I see you.
You believe you have good ideas to contribute.
You have dreams and ambitions for how your career and your life would look like.
You know that there’s so much more you want to do with your voice.
But you find yourself holding back, hiding behind the “louder” people and telling yourself that you’ll speak next time, when the time is right.
But the right time never comes. You never feel “ready” to speak up.
How many job offers, leadership opportunities, and relationships will you allow to slip through your fingers, simply because you can’t speak up and show up as your authentic self?
How much more self-doubt, fear and "figuring it out" can you handle when asked to speak or network?

You know that there’s so much more you want to do with your voice.
How much longer are you going to try to speak like others, embarrassed of your voice?
You’ve tried google-ing ways to overcome your fear and speak with more confidence, and yet, you still struggle to speak with true confidence, and you’re wondering - WHY?

The reason why speaking feels scary and hard is not because you don’t have anything to say. It’s because you’ve been conditioned by society to speak up and show up a certain way.
Introducing Own Your Voice, where you own your unique voice so you can speak with genuine confidence.
What you have to do is:
- Understand exactly what is holding you back from speaking up as you, and meeting those fears face-to-face, in order to heal and create beliefs that serve you.
- Gain clarity and confidence by discovering your unique voice, writing your unique story, and honing your unique thoughts and perspectives, so you’ll always be ready to share.
- Learn powerful speaking and communication skills and principles so that you may communicate your value in a way that lands, creating an unforgettable impact in the minds of your audience.
- Use your voice to share ideas you are passionate about, growing your brand online and offline.
This way, you get to show up and speak up as YOU, building an authentic and unique brand that allows you to contribute meaningfully in any work you do and every relationship you build.
Own Your Voice isn’t just a “How to speak better” programme… we are talking about transformation from the inside out. Many of my coachees come to me just wanting to transform the way they speak, but they end up transforming the way they think, speak and live. This is where you’ll trust your unique voice, tap into your own original brilliant thoughts, and communicate your unique ideas when it matters most.
I know it sounds crazy hard, and it’s almost impossible to see a version of you that can speak with authentic confidence. But I’ve seen literally ALL our coachees become the version of themselves they’ve envisioned for years, and so much more.
Let’s start your Own Your Voice Journey together.

Now, I'm working in my dream job with a phenomenal workplace culture, and a higher than expected salary!

I went from staying out out of conversations and doubting the value I had to offer, to confidently initiating conversations with upper management 10+ years more experienced than me and networking with industry experts on LinkedIn. I am speaking A LOT more comfortably, making small talk and enjoying myself!

I went from staying out out of conversations and doubting the value I had to offer, to confidently initiating conversations with upper management 10+ years more experienced than me and networking with industry experts on LinkedIn. I am speaking A LOT more comfortably, making small talk and enjoying myself!
Own Your Voice has helped me tackle some of the critical areas I needed to work on to reach my goals.
These 4 pillars include principles and strategies for you to start growing your voice today.
They are designed for you to feel at home with your voice, so that when you do use it at work, you do so with confidence.
Pillar 1: Rewire Beliefs
- Understand what are the rules and conditioning subconsciously holding you back from speaking with full confidence
- What to ask yourself to reframe your fears and see your voice in a completely different light
- Learn how your unique brain works so that you respect your voice instead of constantly comparing yourself with others
Pillar 2: Awaken your Authentic Self
- Gain immense clarity of your identity – knowing what work energises you, and what topics you’re convicted to speak about.
- Discover a massive gold mine in your failures and disappointments, turning them into captivating stories to connect and inspire.
- Understand what makes up your unique voice – your one-of-a-kind perspective shaped by your culture and upbringing
- Learn what makes you one of a kind, knowing how to communicate your value in your workplace, so that you attract the opportunities you’re meant to contribute to – to lead and to grow.
Pillar 3: Embody your Unique Voice
- Learn how to tell stories that captivate audiences and lead them to take action – be it as a job candidate, a team leader, or when building connections through networking.
- Never be crippled by scripts and instead grow your impromptu speaking response time so you can avoid awkward moments.
- Build rapport with strangers in under 5 minutes and lead conversations from small talk to real talk, building meaningful connections that last a lifetime.
- Lead difficult conversations with candour and courage, respecting your needs and protecting relationships at work and life.
"I used to fear speaking to authority figures and felt they were better than me. I often kept quiet even though I had something to say, which seriously hurts. Working with Rae in Own Your Voice helped me feel safe to be seen. I'm unbecoming to become me again."
Violet has since received leadership opportunities at work, and received compliments about her speaking and leadership from the same superiors she used to be intimidated by.
— Violet, Air Force Engineer
"The Own Your Voice container has literally collapsed time for me, I'm becoming the person I thought I could only be when I'm 30 years old. It's a dream come true telling my 20 year-old self that "It is okay to be yourself".
Pillar 4: Magnify your Impact
- Build strong networks within your industry no matter your experience or position
- Learn how to communicate your expertise, credibility and thought leadership in a way that puts you top-of-mind to the people you want to reach, without being fake or feeling like a fraud
- Attract the community you want to grow with (find your people all around the world who will become the lasting friendships and support network you always wanted)
"I initially had NO IDEA how my own body language was when I delivered sales presentations for work.
Now I know that I need to control the space in front of me, how I open my mouth, the use of my facial muscles to express myself, and knowing how to look into the camera and engage the audience directly. This allows me to command the space I am in and deliver with authority."
— Jun Kai, Crypto Trainer at one of Singapore's Top Crypto Training Company
"I'm more articulate, I know what tricks I can use to help me present and speak better, and I know the structures I can follow in order to bring out my own unique voice!"
I started attending Rae's workshops this year as I wanted to better understand how to develop a compelling corporate voice and personal brand, so that I would be able to command authority and presence in my line of work.
In the beginning, I was sceptical about the power of mindset in crafting a strong voice - I thought all we needed was strategy and communication skills. I also had my fair share of limiting beliefs and a skewed impression of what I needed to do in order to build a powerful brand.
Right from my first encounter with Rae, though, I found myself resonating a lot with what she had to say. Rae has given me a powerful perspective of what brand-building and content creation can look like. It brings me relief to know that I'll be able to attract my target audience when I am closely aligned with my identity and inner voice - and not when I'm trying to be someone I'm not :)
— Karen Ho, Senior Insights Project Manager
I love how Rae emphasises authenticity and building a strong relationship with yourself, so that your voice comes through powerfully and naturally.
Russell Teoh, Vice President, Product Manager - FX Services @ J.P. Morgan
Rae has a knack for connecting with people and is able to put herself into your perspective, which lends to her charm in letting her audience feel heard, and in turn, allows her to influence and captivate during her course.
I attended Rae's course with the objective to find authenticity in personal branding and voice. In my line of work, I appreciate the importance in connecting with my fellow co-workers and industry peers, and I wanted to pulse check how I could better build my personal image and cultivate one that reflected authentically instead of a template-curated version.
Before working with Rae, I had attended other courses for this objective, however they felt cookie-cutter and whilst I learnt the key points, I was not able to meld into a structured elevator pitch write-up I had of myself. In just a week, Rae leaned in on the creative aspects which helped me to view this exercise from a different lens and energy.
Rae was jovial in each group session and 1-1 coaching catch up. What was most helpful was her ability to listen and understand your ‘origin’ story and provide tips that I could relate to. What makes Rae different as a coach is that she engages in style that conveys conversation as opposed to feeling instructor-led.
For me, coming from a structured background and work environment, it was refreshing to be reminded that I could learn to lean on the creative aspects and personality. During the course, I observed that Rae was able to work with individuals from a variety of background and personality traits, and if you’re looking to brush up on your personal branding and pitching skills, you will gain insight and have an enjoyable experience in finding yourself and voice with Rae!

"You could say... I fell in love with my Unique Voice and my own personal stories. I no longer feel that I am under-qualified to share my thoughts and experience in Crypto to a cold audience."
"Previously, I wasn't confident to speak in front of an audience, especially in an online meeting where it is all quiet and I can only hear my own voice. Now, I am clear of my own unique life story and understood the art of speaking to an audience. Even my boss said I am unrecognisably good in speaking now compared to before the training!
Besides the obvious improvements I get in presentation and story delivery, I realised I am becoming bolder to reach out and network. Just last week, I reached out to a co-founder of a respectable business in the crypto space, and immediately was able to get into a video call with him 3 days later. Out of this call we discussed many potential collaborations.
Without the OYV training and Rae’s constant encouragement, I would never have dared to initiate such 1-to-1 meetings with more prominent figures in my industry."
Ryan Lee, Crypto Trainer at one of Singapore's Top Crypto Training Company
"I used to be extremely script-bound. I had to prepare my script for a whole week and memorise my script over 2 days before a major presentation to senior stakeholders. Within just one week of working with Rae, I could deliver a smooth work presentation, curbing my stress and fear!"
Ade, Partnerships Manager
"I've had so many crazy wins owning my voice at work and in my relationships. Thank you Rae for coaching me to manage the negative beliefs in my mind and to challenge them, to have the confidence to put myself out there, the toolset to handle difficult conversations, and so much more."
K, Business Development Manager

My Story
There was a time I wouldn’t dare use my voice. I saw no value in it, and didn’t know how to speak so that people would listen.
Today I am able to speak and host in front of audiences of thousands and on camera. I travel the world and speak to strangers (even directors and CEOs) without fear. I have also shared my story and my thoughts on millennial entrepreneurship on media outlets such as CNA, Today Online, 938Live.
I’ve coached tons of people to go from having fear of speaking up, to building radical trust with their authentic voice, so that they walk into any room or conversation speaking with genuine confidence, allowing them to effortlessly and naturally attract the clients and opportunities they are meant to contribute to.
Having worked with many clients, I realised this: Even the most stereotypically confident person, CAN fear speaking up or be at a painful loss of words, IF they don't:
- Understand what fears and limiting beliefs are stopping them
- Know who they are and what they stand for. Then they risk following the opinions of others, not having unique opinions of their own, and worse, living a life by someone else's design.
This is why I created the Own Your Voice Methodology, so that you:
- Rewire Beliefs: Understand what's holding you back from speaking up as the authentic you
- Awaken Authentic Self: Know who you are, what you want, what you stand for, so that you always show up authentically and develop your own unique voice in the process
- Embody your Unique Voice: Communicate your intention and message with powerful communication and speaking techniques
- Magnify your Impact: Leverage on Social media to share your story, build your brand, and impact more people
Most speaking programs out there cover a lot of delivery techniques, overlooking that most people don't speak confidently because of fear, doubt and lack of clarity.
Delivery techniques work on your speaking, not your substance. In order to truly own your voice, you need to recognise that you have a unique opinion, so that you'll have conviction and confidence radiating out of you.
In Own Your Voice, you’ll experience doing the work beyond just speaking techniques. You’ll break through beliefs that stop you from speaking up and build a deeper relationship with yourself so that you’ll radiate authentic confidence as you speak.

"Pre-OYV me used to avoid talking to higher-ups like directors at work because it was an "unspoken rule". I also believed that in order to be a compelling communicator I had to put on a mask of confidence, use 1001 public speaking techniques, and be someone I was not.
Today, I'm able to speak to higher-ups more freely, even initiating a conversation with a director! I also learnt that being a better speaker comes from within, and that true confidence comes from being my authentic self when connecting with others.
What makes Rae different is her person-centred approach and focus on the heart of the matter. She goes beyond the 'what' and 'how' of being a better communicator and empowers you through self-awareness of gives you a unique voice!"
— Nicole, Impact and Engagement Associate at a multinational bank
— Kai Wen, New Business Development
"Within a short period of 6 months, I am surprised to outgrow myself so much more than my last 10 years in the workforce.
I am now confident of my voice and opinions, committing to trust myself, my voice, thoughts and opinions.
I no longer spend hours trying to iron the script into my head in attempt to deliver a perfect presentation.
I am able to host meeting with senior leaders with my presence.
I achieved speaking milestones and overcame my fears of judgement and failure. I've shown myself that it is possible to be a confident speaker!
I have came to love and respect myself more now in this journey than ever!"

Bottom line:
Before the Own Your Voice Program, I struggled with fear of public speaking for over 10 years. I also found it hard to set boundaries and have the tough conversations that needed to happen at work, often being "too nice".
In just the first few weeks of coaching and huddling with the OYV circle, I received this strong support which made me feel that I am so ready to speak up and conquer the world (very dramatic but that’s how I truly feel). I was able to initiate conversations with authority figures at work with so much conviction and confidence.
Today, I no longer get caught up with how people think of me, removing my fear of judgement. I no longer simply "go with the flow", but now communicates my career goals with my boss. I'm able to speak up as my authentic self.

I used to hesitate to be myself in all situations. Unfortunately, there's a fine line between what's considered assertive and aggressive for women that can really hold us back in our careers, so I was afraid of how people would interpret what I say and how they would judge me.
Now I'm able to hold my own, to stand my ground, and to take up space in any room with any type or amount of other people.
By being in a safe space with Rae and other OYV peeps, I realised what feeling safe when speaking felt like. I have been able to recreate that for myself so that I can show up as myself in every aspect of my life: home, work, business, and relationships.
At work, I host plants socials, standing out and speaking up as I create space for others to share too. I learned that I handle a lot of difficult conversations really well... I just never received acknowledgement for it from others or from myself.
All my higher-ups have had their pedestals taken away. As I learned speaking techniques and honed my own skills, I also learned to observe the way others speak and realised that I too easily believed they were better than me speaking and leading without considering how I could get better at speaking and leading in my own way instead.
I pitch projects I want to work on. I make asks that others don’t, such as taking more time off or attending out-of-industry conferences. I stand even firmer in my boundaries and beliefs for when and where I want to work.
Rae not only has a very specific niche, she holds so much passion and conviction for what she does. She is genuinely interested in what you have to share, no matter where you start on your speaking and communication skills. I think what sets Rae apart from other speaking/communication service providers is that she helps you figure out your own style and build on that. Basically, I never felt like I had to speak and communicate like Rae.
