You're preparing for something big - a launch, an expansion, a repositioning, stepping into bigger visibility.
You have the expertise. You've done the work. You know what you're capable of.
But you keep second guessing whether you're really ready. You're downplaying your years of experience.Â
You're playing smaller than who you actually are.
And you can feel the gap between who you're becoming on the inside and how you're still showing up on the outside.
Maybe this sounds familiar:
- About to launch something and suddenly second-guessing everything as the date gets closer. Even though you've been planning this for months.
- Expanding your business but find yourself downplaying your expertise instead of owning it. Worries you'll seem "too much" if you actually claim what you know.
- Repositioning yourself at a higher level (going for that promotion, raising prices, stepping into a leadership role) but you can't quite figure out how to talk about your experience without minimizing it.
- Stepping into bigger visibility and realize there's a disconnect between how you currently talk about your work and how you WANT to talk about it. You know what you want to say, but the words aren't coming.
Here's what I've noticed after 30+ years of working with accomplished people like you:
The moment you're about to step into something bigger is exactly when you start playing small.
Not because you're not ready. But because the stakes feel real. Because more people will see you. Because claiming your authority feels vulnerable when you're used to just doing the work quietly.
So you minimize. You second-guess.
You perform confidence instead of actually owning what you know.
This assessment will help you see where you can't see clearly right now.
Â
When you work through the questions, you'll start to notice patterns.
Where you're using language that minimizes your expertise and authority
so you can catch yourself doing it and stop
The disconnect between what your gut knows and what you're actually trusting
so you can stop seeking permission from everyone else and start owning your decisions
The gap between between who you're becoming on the inside and how you're showing up on the outside
so you can finally bridge it and show up fully as your real self
Why this big moment is making you second-guess everything
and what's actually happening beneath the doubt
These questions are meant to create awareness so you can see what's happening, then decide what you want to do differently.
NICE TO MEET YOU
Hi, I'm Jen Milius
I've been helping accomplished people prepare for big moments for over 30 years—first in corporate, now with entrepreneurs and leaders who are stepping into something bigger.
And here's the pattern I see over and over: The moment you're ready to claim what you've been building is exactly when you start questioning everything.
You've been demonstrating authority for years. Leading teams. Building businesses. Getting results. Creating impact.
But you can't quite see it in yourself clearly enough to own it. So you minimize your experience. You hide your expertise. You can't find the words to articulate your value when it matters most.
That's where I come in.
I help you see what you can't see about yourself. I reflect back the authority you've been demonstrating so you can finally own it and communicate it powerfully when you're launching, expanding, repositioning, or stepping into bigger visibility.
READ MY STORY
"Jen is good at giving perspective and helping people tap into skills and talents that they see as no big deal. Things that, it’s like they’re almost too close to see how beneficial they can be to a business, then those things while seemingly unrelated or too different to some, bring a unique set of talents/skills that can be leveraged.”
- Amanda H.
"After working with Jennifer I realized how much I wasn't thinking about the valuable experiences and talents I bring. It's easy to think about what everyone else brings - but much more challenging to see the value I bring. Jennifer helped me to confidently showcase those talents in a way that will capture attention. Working with Jennifer is like working with a friend who will tell you what you NEED to hear."
- Louisa P.
