Host of Unapologetic Confidence – A Women’s Day Experience

I’m Michelle de Villiers, founder of Gap Cognition. As a career and business coach, I’ve spent years helping women tackle challenges with practical tools. My approach is always straightforward: if you’re dealing with overthinking, procrastination, or motivation dips, there’s a tool or a process to help you navigate it. But recently, I’ve noticed something important.

Many of the incredible women I coach know exactly what tool to use and when to use it. The missing piece isn’t the how—it’s the energy to actually put those tools into action. By the time we hit the end of the year, a lot of us are running on empty. We know what to do—we just don’t have that spark to keep going.

That’s why I’m hosting Unapologetic Confidence. This event is more than just a Women’s Day celebration—it’s a chance to recharge. I wanted to create a space where we can all pause, reconnect with our energy, and leave feeling ready to tackle whatever’s next.
