Speaking That Moves, Inspires & Transforms

Tao Kroesche helps heart-led entrepreneurs stop second-guessing themselves and start showing up with real, grounded confidence.

As a Global Confidence Coach and founder of The Elevation Code, Tao supports business owners to build the kind of confidence that doesn’t rely on hype or hustle—but instead grows from cultivating internal safety, deep self-trust, authentic action, and emotional regulation.

With over 10 years in business, Tao understands the behind-the-scenes reality:
You can have the best offers in the world—but if you’re hesitating to put yourself out there, holding back your full voice, or constantly questioning if you’re "getting it right," that success will always feel out of reach.

Meet Tao Kroesche

Tao Kroesche is a Multi Award-Nominated Global Confidence Coach, known for helping heart-led entrepreneurs rise, be seen, and become the unapologetic face of their business—without performing, proving, or pretending.

Her approach is anything but surface-level.

She doesn’t teach confidence as a mindset trick or a polished performance. She helps you build it from the inside out—through nervous system awareness, real self-trust, and courageous, embodied expression.

Through her signature framework, The Elevation Code, Tao supports her clients to:
✔ Stop waiting for confidence to appear and start acting from it now
✔ Express themselves fully and freely—in life, in business, in every room they walk into
✔ Trust themselves deeply—so decisions feel clear, aligned, and natural
✔ Take up space unapologetically—not to be loud, but to be real

Tao’s talks and coaching experiences are warm, honest, and deeply human. She blends storytelling, nervous system regulation, and embodied self-expression to help people move past the internal barriers that keep them quiet, hesitant, or hiding—so they can lead and live in a way that actually feels like them.

Her work has been featured in The Herald Sun, Channel 9 News, ABC News, Natural Parent Magazine, Better Health Channel, and Kidspot, and continues to make an impact across the globe.

Why This Matters

Many small business owners struggle with self-doubt, fear of judgment, and the pressure to “get it right”—and it holds them back from sharing their message, showing up fully, and growing their business.

In fact:
84% of entrepreneurs experience imposter syndrome at some point (Kajabi, 2023)
60% say self-doubt stops them from taking the risks they know would move their business forward (Xero, 2022)

Confidence isn’t just a mindset—it’s a skill. And it can be learned, strengthened, and embodied.

WHO I SPEAK TO

Most business training teaches what to do—sales, marketing, systems. But none of that matters if the person behind the brand doesn’t feel safe, seen, or certain.

This work is designed to give business owners the missing piece:
the internal confidence to match their external ambition.

My work resonates with:

✔ Corporate teams & leaders looking to foster self-trust, confidence, and decision-making clarity
✔ Entrepreneurs & business owners who want to lead with authenticity and impact
✔ Creatives & visionaries who need the courage to own their voice and unique brilliance
✔ Women’s leadership groups focused on empowerment, self-expression, and breaking free from doubt
✔ Education & emerging leaders navigating self-confidence, identity, and stepping into their power

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?

I don’t do generic, surface-level talks that offer quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. Every talk I give is designed to disrupt old patterns, ignite real confidence, and inspire bold, compassionate action. My approach is raw, real, and deeply engaging—I don’t just speak at people, I create an experience that shifts the way they see themselves. Through a blend of storytelling, lived experience, and practical tools, I help people cultivate confidence in a way that feels authentic, aligned, and sustainable.

What makes my work different is that I don’t just teach this—I’ve lived it. As someone who has navigated anxiety, depression, postnatal depression, and the complexities of being neurodivergent, I know what it’s like to feel trapped in overthinking, self-doubt, and the fear of not being enough. I also know what it takes to break through.

My journey of resilience and radical self-trust is woven into every talk, offering a perspective that is both deeply human and profoundly transformative. Whether it’s a keynote, workshop, or panel discussion, I bring high-energy, no-fluff delivery, actionable strategies, and a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming approach that leaves audiences not just inspired—but ready to take action.

BOOK ME

This isn’t about “faking it till you make it.”
It’s not about being louder, bolder, or more polished.

It’s about helping people feel safe and strong enough to be fully themselves—on camera, in their content, in sales conversations, and in every part of their business.

When business owners trust themselves, they show up differently.
And that changes everything.

If your audience is ready for a speaker who will challenge, inspire, and elevate them—let’s create a moment they’ll never forget.
