Anthea Armar
-
London, England (UK)
Specializations: Confidence; Leadership Skills; Presentation Skills; Time Management & Productivity
You know you are capable of more. Something is just getting in the way. Staying silent in the room is the most expensive habit you may have formed.
Anthea is a London-based coach, public speaker and professional development expert with over 20 years of experience helping ambitious professionals close the gap between where they are and where they know they are capable of being.
Her work sits at the intersection of confidence, communication and career progression. She specialises in helping professionals from underrepresented backgrounds find and use their voice with conviction, develop the presence to lead authentically and build the clarity needed to take bold steps forward in their careers.
Anthea has worked with organisations including Google, Network Rail, Ernst & Young and the Metropolitan Police among others, partnering with professionals at all levels to create meaningful and lasting change. She works with clients across the globe, collaborating with senior leaders, entrepreneurs and rising professionals to unlock what is already within them. Whether navigating the politics of a corporate environment, preparing to step into greater visibility or working through the internal barriers that hold talented people back, Anthea creates the space for real transformation.
Her clients describe her as calm yet powerful, deeply perceptive and someone who helps them make breakthroughs they did not see coming.
"In just three hours focused on presentation skills, Anthea helped me unlock the confidence within me, not only to speak up in meetings and engage in public speaking when needed but to actively seek out opportunities to do so. Less than two months later, this newfound confidence has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone repeatedly, pursuing new tasks and projects instead of sticking with what I knew. As an introvert, stepping out of my shell was transformative. In short, working with Anthea changed my life."

Sheila Weber
MBA, MSW, CPDC

Madison, AL, US (CT)
Specializations: Finding, Developing, and Promoting Talent; Leadership Skills; Managing Up; Strategic & Systems Thinking
I work with managers and aspiring managers who want to be the kind of leader people trust—steady, clear, and fair—especially when things get complicated. The move into management is a real shift: it’s less about being the “doer” and more about setting direction, navigating tradeoffs, developing people, and shaping team culture.
In Elevate, I help participants build confidence and capability in three areas that matter a lot for managers: relationships, business judgment, and leadership development. That looks like building influence across the organization (so you can get things done), learning to connect daily decisions to priorities and constraints (so you can lead with credibility), and getting intentional about what experiences and skills you need next (so your growth isn’t accidental).
You can expect me to bring tools, not fluff. I help you get specific about:
how you set expectations and follow through
how you give feedback in a way people hear and appreciate
how you handle performance issues early (before they become “a whole thing”)
how you stay grounded when you’re carrying other people’s emotions and outcomes
If you want support that’s practical, equity-minded, and focused on real-world leadership habits—not just theory—I’m a strong fit.
