Stories from Rolene Strauss’s students

I thought confidence was something you needed to be born with. Yes, even after YEARS of personal growth, this limiting belief has been planted strongly in my mind. But Rolene, with her warm competence and simple yet effective exercises, proved to me confidence is, in fact, very much a SKILL... I have fully redefined what the Queen Effect means for ME and no longer associate confidence with a "gift" I need to be given.

I thought self-confidence meant becoming stronger, better, or more certain. I believed it was something I needed to build or fix from the outside... I understand that true self-confidence grows when I return to myself. When I care for my body, mind, and inner voice with respect, confidence becomes steady, calm, and sustainable - without force.

Once we are aware, we can strengthen the areas we are lacking. This quest will help women to understand themselves and help them increase their confidence.

Rolene has helped me look at the future by making simple changes to my everyday life. The course has highlighted some important issues for me, which I have never thought of or realized before, which hindered my ability to be confident.

Coaching with Rolene has been one of the best investments I have made in myself. It has had such a big impact on me and the way I go about reaching my goals. I can honestly say it has made me more confident in every aspect of my life, especially in pursuing my dreams.

I had the privilege to be coached by Rolene since Jan 2020. With the first session, I was confused and not in a space to make clear level headed decisions. The different techniques Rolene used really helped me to step back and look at my life in perspective. She helped me to set clear and measurable goals for myself…
