Lead with clarity. Speak with confidence. Stand with conviction.

Quiet Leadership is about leading yourself and others with self awareness, sound judgment, courage and respect, without relying on dominance or becoming someone you are not.

I help quiet women navigating their careers, leading teams or running businesses build the self trust, communication skills and Calm Authority to speak up, make decisions and stand up for what matters.

I also work with organisations through leadership training, workshops and speaking engagements that strengthen communication, accountability and leadership effectiveness.

About Alicia

28 years in corporate life. Then I started over.

After a 28 year corporate career in the oil and gas industry, including 18 and a half years across BG Group and Shell, leadership roles and international assignments, I experienced an unexpected redundancy shortly before turning 50. My reinvention deepened my work around identity, internal authority and what happens when the external markers that once reinforced how we see ourselves begin to change.

Today I bring that lived experience together with decades of leadership experience through my philosophy of Quiet Leadership and my signature Calm Authority Model™. I am the creator of Power, Unmuted™ and She Leads Powerfully™, and the publisher of the Unmuted newsletter.

I also know what it is like to be capable and overlooked. That experience shaped Quiet Leadership, my philosophy of leading yourself and others with self awareness, sound judgment, courage and respect, without relying on dominance or becoming someone you are not.

The Calm Authority Model™ puts that into practice through three dimensions.

The Calm Authority Model™

OWN your presence

Stay connected to who you are, what you value and how you choose to lead.

SPEAK with impact

Communicate what you know, think and contribute clearly and with intent.

STAND in your power

Take a position, advocate for what matters and act when the moment calls for it.

Speaking, podcasts and writing

Speaking is one of the ways I create greater impact. I love helping capable people see the value of what they bring, and helping organisations lead with more clarity. I was a Top 50 Speaker in the Next Top Speaker Tournament Season 4 (January 2026). Other events include:

Caribbean Coalition for Maternal and Reproductive Health, February 2026: Strategic Planning
Sital College, Trinidad, March 2026: Quiet Leadership in Health Care
Million Women Rising, April 15, 2026: The most dangerous thing a capable woman can do
The Reinvention Summit, August 27, 2026: The most dangerous thing a capable woman can do
The Transformation Gap Summit, September 24, 2026: You're Capable. Why doesn't it feel like enough?

I also enjoy being a guest on podcasts, such as:

Becoming the Best Woman You Can Be (Digital Trailblazer)
You're Too Quiet: Reaching your Breakthrough as a Quiet, Capable Woman (Elevate from Failure)
From Grief to Purpose with Coach Nina

I enjoy writing. My work appears in two anthologies, Her Unseen Battle and Letters to Him, published by She Rises Studio, as well as several magazine articles.

Power, Unmuted™

For quiet women who want to trust themselves, communicate with confidence and advocate for what matters.

You know you have something to contribute. Yet there are moments when you second guess yourself, hold back what you want to say or put other people's expectations ahead of your own. Power, Unmuted™ is personalised self leadership coaching that moves you toward trusting your judgment, expressing your views and standing by what matters to you.

What we work on

Your identity, values and beliefs
Communicating clearly and with confidence
Boundaries and self advocacy
Calm Authority in the situations you actually face

Coaching is grounded in real situations, reflection, practical application and accountability, so the changes last beyond the conversation.
