For Workplaces

Training Alone Won’t Shift a Culture People Don’t Trust

While psychosocial safety standards require workplaces to manage how work is done and how interactions occur, they don’t explicitly require the embedding of organisational values — and that gap can undermine confidence, culture and trust.

When values are only mentioned during onboarding, performance reviews or printed on a wall, people don’t feel inspired — they feel patronised. They can clearly see what’s not being lived, and that gap creates cognitive dissonance: a sense that something isn’t quite right. Over time, that uncertainty drives anxiety and causes employees to question the integrity of the organisation.

• “They say wellbeing matters, but no one has time to breathe.”

• “They say collaboration matters, but feedback isn’t safe here.”

• “They say we’re trusted — but everything is micromanaged.”

When people can’t predict which behaviours are genuinely supported or rewarded, they begin to hold back. Confidence erodes, stress increases, and trust becomes uncertain. A workplace may appear cohesive in meetings, but the discomfort shows up in side conversations and silent disengagement. Values might look strong in policies and posters, but unless they are consistently demonstrated in day-to-day behaviour, people disengage.

Psychosocial safety isn’t only influenced by how work is structured or the environment people operate in — it’s also shaped by the behaviours, interactions and expectations experienced every day. That’s where Prosperise Coaching supports workplaces: aligning values and behaviour so confidence and safety can be felt, not just documented.

Leadership Confidence Shapes Culture — For Better or Worse

Leaders today are expected to champion wellbeing and psychological safety — yet many are quietly navigating their own confidence challenges, imposter feelings and uncertainty about how to lead. When leaders aren’t supported to feel confident and aligned with organisational values, decision-making becomes reactive, communication becomes unclear and behaviour is shaped more by fear than by what the organisation stands for.

This isn’t a skills problem — it’s a values and confidence alignment problem. Confidence is strengthened when teams and leaders are clear on the values that guide their decisions and know those values are genuinely lived throughout the workplace.

Prosperise Coaching supports leaders to feel aligned enough to act with clarity — modelling confidence and values in a way people can trust. Because confident, values-aligned leaders create workplaces where people feel safe to contribute, communicate, grow and stay.

Traditional Training Doesn’t Fix Trust

A one-off workshop can build awareness —but it does not sustainably rebuild confidence, trust or engagement.

• You can’t team-bond your way out of distrust

• You can’t poster your way into values alignment

• You can’t tick-box your way to culture change

How Prosperise Helps Workplaces

I partner with workplaces that want values and wellbeing reflected in everyday behaviour — not treated as statements or compliance tasks.

Our coaching and workshops are tailored to your specific workplace challenges and designed to address the underlying causes of disengagement.

• Values alignment & trust-building

• Confidence in communication and contribution

• Reducing psychosocial risk

• Addressing imposter patterns that limit potential

• Wellbeing embedded into leadership and culture

• Increased engagement, retention & collaboration

Values shape behaviour. Behaviour shapes culture. And culture drives confidence, engagement and performance. When people trust what they experience, work becomes somewhere they can contribute fully — not cautiously.

What would your team say about the values you’re promoting — honestly?

Let’s Talk About What’s Really Happening

The impact of imposter syndrome and low confidence on you and your team

Do these thoughts feel familiar?

“I just got lucky.”
“I don’t really belong here.”
“At some point they’ll realise I’m not good enough.”
“Everyone else seems more confident than me.”

Imposter feelings can be exhausting. Over time, constant second-guessing and fear of being judged can chip away at wellbeing, keep ideas quiet and hold people back from opportunities they’re absolutely ready for.

And often, this isn’t about capability at all — it’s about alignment, understanding  and support. When expectations are unclear or values aren’t lived in the culture around us, our confidence is challenged.

Confidence grows when:

• you know what matters and why

• you feel supported to show up fully

• you trust your own skills and judgement

• the environment you’re in reinforces safety, not fear

Confidence & Imposter Coaching supports you to:

• Understand what’s really driving your self-doubt

• Strengthen self-trust and clarity

• Reduce anxiety and overthinking

• Anchor confidence in your values and experience

• Take meaningful steps toward the work and life you want

Confidence isn’t pretending. It’s not performance. It’s the grounded belief that you can navigate challenge, make decisions you’re proud of, and take action even when things feel uncertain.With the right tools and a safe space to explore what’s getting in the way, you can move from hesitation into momentum — and show up with the confidence that’s already within you.

If you’re ready for change, action, and results, coaching is for you.

Tired of feeling like a fraud, fake, or phony?

The term Imposter Phenomenon was first described in 1978 by clinical psychologists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes. They found that many high-achieving people — despite clear evidence of their abilities — felt like frauds and feared being “found out.” Today, we call it Imposter Syndrome, and it affects professionals, business owners, and leaders across every field.

Imposter feelings don’t exist in isolation. They’re often tied to anxiety, low confidence, and even depression — making success feel heavier than it should. The good news is that confidence is the antidote.

Nice to meet you

I’m Lisa, a values-informed coach who helps people and workplaces reconnect with what gives their work meaning. I bring together professional training and lived experience to build confidence, clarity, and wellbeing that lasts.

I work with individuals, teams, and leaders to:

• strengthen confidence and psychological safety

• align values, behaviour, and culture

• recognise and shift imposter patterns that limit potential

• build resilience and wellbeing

My coaching connects personal insight with organisational impact. Whether it’s supporting professionals to navigate self-doubt or helping teams build cultures of trust, I focus on aligning values, confidence and psychosocial wellbeing so people feel safe to contribute — and workplaces function better.

For over 20 years, I ran a successful podiatry practice — but behind the scenes, I often felt like a phony. No matter my qualifications, word of mouth referrals, or client feedback and results, the thought “someone will find out I’m not good enough” followed me everywhere. It was imposter syndrome, and the accompanying anxiety was draining.

Later, when I moved into mental health and community services, I realised these struggles weren’t unique to the clients we were supporting. They were just as present in the people doing the supporting. High-achieving professionals, business owners, frontline workers — all quietly wrestling with the same questions about belonging and capability.

My interest in values began here. I started to see how many frameworks and theories place values at the centre of confidence, behaviour, and wellbeing. I also noticed how differently some countries approach this. In parts of Scandinavia, values are woven into organisational systems — leadership expectations, workplace design, public policy — rather than being left as posters on a wall. Meanwhile, in Australia, we talk a lot about culture and psychosocial safety, though people still feel stressed, stretched, and unsure what “good” looks like in daily behaviour. That gap fascinated and frustrated me. I used to roll my eyes at the word values — and I still see that reaction in workshops — because they can feel tokenistic when they aren’t lived. Yet the more I watched workplaces from the inside, the clearer it became: misaligned values drive the very anxiety, disengagement, and moral discomfort that so many workers describe.

And a word on perimenopause. Too often, GPs and health practitioners don’t recognise the link between hormones and anxiety during this transition. When anxiety spikes, it can impact our work — a shaky presentation, reduced concentration, or a difficult performance review. These moments can trigger the cycle of self-doubt and intensify feelings of being an imposter.

I see you. I’ve been there. I understand. And with the safe space of coaching, you can break this cycle and rebuild your confidence.

My guiding principals

You already hold the answers.
No book, boss, mentor, or influencer can hand you your truth wrapped in a bow. Only you can decide what your life should look like — and the good news is, I’ve walked this path too, and I’m here to help guide you.

We all live with an invisible script.
The weight of society’s “shoulds” and the expectations of others can feel heavy. But you always have a choice — to tune out the noise and start listening to yourself.

You are here to make an impact.
And you already know that. Impact doesn’t have to mean being on a world stage. It grows in ripple effects — through the way you lead your team, show up for your family, or simply care for yourself.

Change takes courage.
It’s human to feel stuck where you are. Your brain is wired to keep you safe, which often means staying the same. But growth requires discomfort — and the results are always worth it.

It’s not about “doing more.”
Working harder isn’t the answer — it’s often the problem. Real change comes from shifting your relationship with your thoughts and feelings, allowing inspired action to flow naturally.

You are already enough.
Right now, you are creative, resourceful, and whole. You don’t need fixing. You simply need to unlock the confidence to use what you already have to create the life you want.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Frequently Asked Questions

What is coaching and how can it help?

Coaching is a collaborative process where we work together to clarify your goals, uncover challenges, and develop strategies for personal or professional growth. It helps you gain clarity, improve decision-making, and build confidence in navigating transitions and challenges.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next steps, coaching can provide the clarity and support needed to move forward. Coaching is ideal for individuals who want to make meaningful changes and are open to exploring new possibilities. Plus, there's your free discovery call to explore this further.

Is coaching the same as mentoring?

No - mentoring offers advice and expertise while coaching empowers action.

Coaching is goal focused, action oriented and builds self awareness in overcoming limiting beliefs and challenges.

When mentoring and coaching are combined, the advice received during mentoring sessions can be explored and expanded upon through coaching, helping to turn insights into actionable steps and overcome any barriers that may be hindering progress.

How can I afford coaching?

I understand that coaching is a financial commitment — and it’s not always an easy one to make. But it’s also a an investment in your clarity, confidence, and direction. Coaching can help you avoid costly setbacks, reduce burnout, make clearer decisions, and stay aligned with what matters most — saving time, energy, and money in the long run.

To make coaching more accessible, I offer flexible payment options, including single sessions, multi-session packages, and payment plans.

Would Your Employer Support Your Coaching?

If you’re currently employed, it’s worth asking whether your employer can contribute to or fully cover your coaching. Many organisations — especially those in industry, leadership, and frontline roles — have professional development or wellbeing budgets set aside for exactly this kind of support. Coaching strengthens leadership capability, builds resilience, and improves team dynamics — all outcomes that benefit your workplace too.

I’m happy to provide a letter  that outlines how coaching supports professional development, communication, and workplace wellbeing, to help with your request. Plus, it's tax deductible!

What is the ICF and why is it important?

The International Coach Federation (ICF) is a globally recognised body that upholds high standards in coaching, including a strict code of ethics and core competencies. I follow their ethical guidelines and competencies to ensure that my coaching is professional, effective, and client-centered. Adhering to ICF principles helps me provide quality coaching and maintain a commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.
