About Carol Salvadori

Leadership and Embodied Authority Coach for Women Who Are Ready to Be Unshakeable When They Speak

I did not set out to create a movement.
I set out to return to the part of myself I had abandoned.

For years, I lived with a quiet split inside me.

On one hand I was capable, intelligent and driven.
But the moment visibility rose, my body tightened and my voice disappeared.

I was not silent because I lacked confidence.
I was silent because my body did not feel safe.

My chest would close.

My voice would tighten

My mind would race.

I would blank, freeze or speak in a way that did not reflect the depth of what I knew.

Pushing harder did not change this.
Performing confidence did not change this.

What changed everything was understanding this:

My voice was not failing me.
My nervous system was overwhelmed.

What I discovered in that moment changed everything about how I work with women.

Not by teaching them to perform confidence.
But by helping them feel safe enough to lead from who they already are.

That understanding now shapes every space I create and every woman I support.

WHO I WORK WITH

These women are accomplished, intelligent, and respected.

And yet, under pressure, their presence contracts.
They freeze when visibility rises.
They feel unseen despite their capability.

They are not trying to become louder.
They are trying to feel steady.

This is not presentation skills training.
This is not confidence coaching.

This is embodied leadership.

Women Who Stepped Into This Work

Stories of women who were promoted, recognised, trusted and finally heard

because their presence matched their capability.

Transformation here is lived, not theoretical.

“I not only feel my sense of self-worth, it has shown up in my life in ways I never imagined. In less than a year I moved forward from a messy separation, met the love of my life, completed my Project Management Diploma and was headhunted for a senior role. When I resigned, they promoted me again so I would stay. My life finally fell into place, and it would not have happened without the work I did with Carol.”

Tara Bannister

Head of Quality and Improvement

“Before meeting Carol I felt defeated, bullied and alone. I acted happy but was miserable inside. Coaching gave me a platform to be kindly challenged and to see myself differently. Through this work I found self-love and self-worth. I now feel connected, supported, loved and enough. Carol will guide you to your inner truth and support you through tough yet extraordinary work.”

Whitely Foreman

Solicitor

“I am so grateful I had you working with me. The director said my presentation had her on the edge of her seat wanting more. I had many comments and compliments afterwards. I now see myself speaking at more conferences. This is only the beginning, and your coaching helped me develop a powerful message and the confidence to deliver it.”

Kellie Wallis

Systems and Compliance Manager

THE TRUTH THAT TURNED EVERYTHING AROUND

My voice was not failing me. My body was overwhelmed.
I did not need to be louder. I needed to feel safe.
When my nervous system regulated, my voice stabilised.
Authority followed presence, not performance.

WHY I DO THIS WORK

Because I know what it feels like to be brilliant and still feel unseen.
Because I know what it feels like to have a voice and not feel safe using it.
Because a women who feels safe in her body does not shrink. She leads.
And the world needs more women who lead from within.

Start With A Conversation

THE WOMAN BEHIND LEADLOUD

I did not set out to create a movement.
I set out to find the part of myself I had abandoned.

For years, I lived with a quiet split inside myself.

On one hand I was capable, strong, intelligent and driven.
On the other hand the moment visibility rose, I felt myself shrink.

My voice would tighten.
My chest would close.
My mind would race.
I would blank, freeze or speak in a way that did not reflect the depth of what I knew.

I was not silent because I lacked confidence.
I was silent because my body did not feel safe.

Practising more did not fix it.
Pushing harder did not fix it.
Performing a confident version of myself did not fix it.

Something deeper needed to shift.
And that realisation changed everything.

THE TRUTH THAT TURNED EVERYTHING AROUND

I discovered that my voice was not failing me. My body was overwhelmed.
I was not weak. I was disconnected.
I did not need to be louder. I needed to come home to myself.

When I learned how to regulate my nervous system, everything changed.

My voice stabilised.
My presence deepened.
My mind stopped racing.
I could stay grounded under pressure.
I could speak from truth without forcing myself.
I felt calm, clear and in my body for the first time in my life.

And with that safety came a level of authority I had never known.

I no longer performed confidence.
I embodied it.

This is the work I now bring to women all over the world.

WHY I DO THIS WORK

Because I know what it feels like to be brilliant and still feel unseen.
Because I know what it feels like to have a voice and not feel safe using it.
Because I know what it feels like to rise in some rooms and collapse in others.
Because I know the heartbreak of knowing you could lead if only you did not freeze.

And because I now know this truth.
A woman in her body is a woman in her power.
And the world needs more women in their power.

This work is not about being louder.
It is about becoming more yourself.
It is about returning to a version of you that feels regulated, grounded and undeniable.
It is about becoming the woman whose presence is felt before she speaks.

This is leadership.
This is embodied authority.
This is what changes families, companies and generations.

WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP

Your voice is something you return to, not something you build.

Authority is embodied, not forced.

Your nervous system shapes how you lead.

Presence is your greatest strategy.

Regulated women change rooms.

Yes, I Want to Speak With Authority

MY WHY. MY NORTH STAR.

My daughter, Lilli, is my compass.

Everything I build, every space I create, every woman I support comes from one intention:

To show her, and women everywhere, what it looks like to lead without abandoning yourself.

This is legacy work.
This is generational work.
This is soul work.

If you feel something in you waking up while reading this, trust that.

There is a deeper version of you waiting.
A version with a steady voice, a grounded presence and an authority that feels natural and true.

I would be honoured to guide you there.
