Johanna’s Success Story
How Johanna Earned the Trust of 16 Colleagues Across Europe
"When I was promoted to lead 16 colleagues across Europe, I was excited—but also nervous."
Johanna wanted to make a strong first impression. She needed to build trust quickly, communicate clearly, and lead with confidence.
Together, we focused on three things:
✅ Building strong relationships
✅ Presenting with clarity and confidence
✅ Leading by example
Over 10 coaching sessions, we prepared for her first international conference, practised key presentations, and developed practical leadership skills.
Her dilemma?
She was going to have to speak to people in her new team 40 years older then she was
The result?
Her first team meeting was such a success that her boss described it as "A great success."
And what does Johanna say about the results of working with me?
"I now communicate with confidence."
"I know how to build business relationships quickly."
"I learned that great leaders show people what to do, rather than simply telling them.

Meet John,
The introvert English guy who multinationals like Lufthansa,
Ernst and Young and John Deere ask to train their staff
Hi, I'm John Doorbar.
I'm an Oxford graduate, a communication coach and, perhaps most importantly, an introvert myself.
For years, I thought confidence belonged to other people. I knew my subject, but in important meetings my mind
became noisy, I overthought everything, and sometimes I stayed silent when I had something valuable to say.
If that sounds familiar, you're exactly the kind of person I love helping.
What changed?
After more than 40 years coaching professionals, I discovered something surprising.
Most introverts don't need more confidence.
They need a better understanding of how the mind works, a clear message, and simple speaking habits they can trust under pressure.
That's why my coaching combines behavioural science, ethical influence and practical presentation skills to help people speak calmly, clearly and naturally.
Meet Ian
Ian isn't a real client.
He's a character I created whose name stands for Introverts Are Normal - IAN
Ian represents the thoughtful manager, engineer, scientist or specialist who has excellent ideas but sometimes doubts himself just before speaking.
Ian feels that he is limited by his own thoughts. In the prison of his own mind.
When people watch Ian struggle—and then learn simple ways to think and speak differently—they often smile and say:
"That's me."
Ian reminds us that the problem isn't being introverted.
The problem is believing the stories we tell ourselves when the pressure is on.
Today
Today I help quiet professionals speak calmly, authentically and with confidence.
I've worked with people from organisations including Allianz, BASF, ABB and Lufthansa, and I'm a Licensed Trainer in Ethical Influence with Dr Robert Cialdini.
My goal is to help people escape the limitations - the prison of their mind.
But what matters most isn't the companies I've worked with.
It's hearing clients say:
"I finally spoke up."
"People listened."
"I can be myself and still have influence."
Free from the prison of your own mind
I want to help you too to feel like the guy in my drawing on the right - free to speak and have the skills and confidence to be yourself and deliver great talks.
“ I‘m free from the prison of my own mind.”
If that sounds like you...
I'd love to help.
No pressure.
Just a conversation.
