Time for a guided visualization exercise: How to communicate with confidence. This is an incredibly important skill to master, especially as it relates to how you show up at work. There’s no doubt, those who understand how to connect with people, get their message across effectively, and have it received well will get more accomplished with less friction. This could be you. Let’s practice that skill in a whole new way. By visualizing it.
So, how does it work? Simple! Let my voice be a guide for you as you focus inward to help you tap into your inner wisdom and Intuition for answers.
Listen and participate in this guided visualization exercise: How to communicate with confidence.
Before we get started, here are a few things that you’ll need to do in order to get the most out of this.
- Create a safe space - no distractions or interruptions
First off, you’ll need to create a safe space where you won’t be distracted or interrupted… and also, keep in mind that during this exercise, you’ll have your eyes closed. So yeah, probably not best to do this one while driving.
Silence your phone notifications… The world can wait for the next few minutes.
Then, get comfortable in a seated position or lying down, if that feels better. You get to decide. As with all visualization and breathing exercises we do together this year, you always get to decide what is best for you… take what you need, bless and release the rest.
Okay, now close your eyes or avert your gaze to the ground.
- Take 3 intentional breaths together with me
Let’s take three intentional, life-affirming breaths.
- Deep breath in through the nose, expand the belly, hold at the top, and then slowly release through the mouth. (Do this three times.)
Now, let your breathing come back to a normal pace, whatever feels right for you.
- Do a body scan and feel your feet
It’s time to do a body scan… Imagine you’re slowly scanning your body from the top of your head… down past your shoulders…Through your arms… to your fingertips… All the way down your torso, hips, legs, and toes.
Notice any sensations — maybe tension, soreness, or calmness.
You don’t have to fix anything. Just notice.
Once you’re at your feet, really take notice of what it feels like to have your feet make contact with the ground. To be firmly rooted down, the safety and security of that sensation. What do your feet feel like right now?
- Time to visualize - How to communicate with confidence.
I want you to imagine you’re walking down a quiet hallway.
It’s warm, peaceful, filled with soft golden light.
Your footsteps echo gently — steady, relaxed.
At the end of the hallway, there’s a door.
You instinctively know that on the other side sits someone who deeply believes in you — your mentor.
Maybe it’s a real person you admire.
Maybe it’s a composite of wise voices you’ve known.
Or maybe… it’s an older, wiser version of you.
Whoever appears first is perfect. Trust that.
You walk toward the door, place your hand on the handle, and choose to step inside.
Breathe.
The room feels calm.
There’s sunlight spilling through a window and a quiet hum of peace.
Your mentor looks up, smiles, and gestures for you to sit.
Breathe.
You feel safe here. Seen. Grounded.
Your mentor asks gently:
“Tell me… what does communicating with confidence mean to you?”
You think for a moment and say:
“It means being clear. Not second-guessing myself. Speaking with kindness, even when it’s hard.”
Your mentor nods, listening deeply.
You notice how present they are — no distractions, no phone, just listening.
They reply softly:
“Confidence isn’t about knowing everything.
It’s about trusting yourself in the moment — trusting that the right words will come.”
Let that truth settle in your body.
Breathe.
Then they ask,
“When was the last time you did communicate with confidence?”
You close your eyes tighter, remembering.
- Maybe it was a presentation that flowed perfectly.
- Maybe a tough conversation that turned out better than expected.
- Maybe it was finally saying something honest and kind to someone you love.
See that moment vividly.
Notice how your body felt — open, calm, strong.
Notice the sound of your voice — steady, warm, certain.
Your mentor smiles.
“There it is,” they say.
“That’s your proof. You’ve done it before. You can do it again.”
Breathe.
You breathe deeply.
That truth vibrates in your chest, solid and real.
Your mentor continues:
“When you speak from that calm center — that place of clarity — people feel it.
You don’t need to be loud. You just need to be anchored.”
You nod, letting that word anchored sink deep into your spirit.
Your breath lengthens. Your shoulders drop.
You can feel your confidence rise — not as adrenaline, but as peace.
Then, your mentor reaches out and hands you something small — a symbolic gift.
A smooth stone, perhaps, representing calm.
A pen, symbolizing clarity.
Or maybe a microphone, representing courage.
Whatever you see, it’s perfect for you.
Breathe.
They say,
“Keep this with you. It’s your reminder — you already have everything you need to communicate with confidence.”
You smile and thank them.
They reply,
“When you doubt yourself, just come back here.
I’ll always be here — but more importantly, so will you.”
Breathe.
Take this last moment to say thank you with your full spirit and remember that you can revisit this gift anytime you wish. It’s yours forever and ever. You are never alone and you are always fully supported.
It’s time to gather yourself with a deep, belly-filling breath. And when you’re ready, open your eyes.

So, how did that feel? What came up for you?
I want you to set a 7-minute timer, grab a pen and paper, and take this time to write down everything you remember from this visualization exercise.
- What wisdom was shared?
- What visual clues did you see?
- What did your higher self look like in the mirror?
- What part of this exercise is sticking MOST in your mind and in your heart, that you can’t seem to shake?
- …and what’s one thing that you can do today (with courage and simplicity) to take action on this vision, in real life?
One final whisper
Some of us have been lucky enough to have people in our lives who truly saw us —
who listened without interrupting,
who made space for our messy thoughts to land safely,
who reminded us that our voice mattered.
They’re the ones who didn’t just hear our words… they heard our heart behind them.
They encouraged us to speak up — even when our voice trembled.
They modeled what confident communication looks like: calm, clear, kind.
But maybe… you’ve never had that person.
Maybe no one ever showed you what it means to speak from truth instead of fear.
And if that’s you — that breaks my heart a little.
Because everyone deserves to be heard.
Everyone deserves to feel safe enough to speak.
What I’ve learned over the years is this:
Sometimes, the voice we’ve been waiting to hear most… is our own.
So if you’ve never had someone tell you, “You’ve got this. I want to hear what you think,”
let this be that moment.
Because you do.
And I do.
You don’t have to sound like anyone else to be confident.
You don’t have to force it, fake it, or fill every silence.
Confidence isn’t loud — it’s grounded.
It’s rooted in knowing that what you have to say comes from a good place.
And maybe, just maybe…
the confident communicator you’ve been searching for —
the one who speaks with grace, clarity, and steady conviction —
has been inside you all along.
So the next time you walk into that meeting, or pick up the phone,
or speak up when it would be easier to stay quiet… remember this:
Your words matter because you matter.
Be the voice that others feel safe around. Be the calm in the room when everyone else rushes to fill the space. Be the one who listens deeply — and when you speak, let it be with warmth, wisdom, and purpose.
You’ve got this.
You’ve always had it.
I hope this visualization sticks with you the entire week through. Do it again and again if you need clarity or fresh ideas to help your spirit feel refreshed once again… because when you tap into your deep inner knowing, you’re accessing the deep inner wisdom. That electric energy that can be found inside all of us that connects us all together. It knows. You know. We all know if we are brave and we open ourselves to it.
You can do this, I believe in you.
It’s time to SIMPLIFY.
