Communication coach Nalina speaking at a leadership event, helping women build confidence, executive presence and public speaking skills.

Hi, I am Nalina Tran

I want to see women succeed without having to edit themselves. Every opportunity you'll ever get comes down to one skill —communication & storytelling That’s what I help women master.

Spiced & Confident — an award-finalist 4-week live online coaching program that helps women build the confidence to lead conversations, build relationships that open doors, and get what they actually want.

It is built by diverse women leaders for diverse leaders, backed up by a decade of experience working with Australian leading media companies like News Corp, SBS, ABC.

Maybe this feels familiar?

You know you’re capable of more -but unable to articulate and express yourself

Women leaders participating in a confidence coaching workshop focused on communication, networking and authentic leadership.

You know you're qualified. You've got the skills, the experience, the proof. But if you can’t communicate your ideas clearly, you’ll end up working for someone who can.

In meetings, in pitches, in rooms that matter, someone else talks over you. Or the idea gets stuck between your brain and your lips. And somewhere along the way you started believing the fix was to be louder. More polished. More like them. To fit in.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Tone down your accent and your way of speaking to “more professional“

Ramble and find it hard to structure clear messages

Got the skills and the expertise but struggle to put your ideas into words that land

Have a great story but unsure how to structure it so people actually feel it

Want more paid speaking gigs but unsure how to position yourself to get them

If you said yes to any of the above — welcome. Welcome to the bold, unfolding journey of becoming a fully expressed woman.

Let me tell you, your voice was never the problem. It's just been unstructured, sitting there waiting for you to use it exactly as it is.

What does confident communication look like?

Definitely not what you’ve been told

It’s not built on

Red reject or cancel symbol with a thick X shape on a transparent background.

Red X mark indicating incorrect or wrong

Talking louder, faster or bubblier to sound like someone
else

Bolting on extra skillls you don’t actually need

Rewriting your story until it stops sounding true

Copying someone else’s energy because it “performs“ better

Squeezing into someone else’s definition of confidence

Becoming more extroverted to
prove you’re capable

It’s not built around

Green checkmark inside a circle indicating approval or correctness

Green checkmark inside a circle representing approval or success

Green checkmark inside a circle on a black background.

Green checkmark inside a circle indicating approval or success.

Your natural voice and delivery,
exactly as it is

Dropping the social and cultural conditioning holding you back

Owning your story and shaping
it so it actually lamds

A distinct way of speaking that
works without changing who are

Being remember because you’re genuinely you

A groundedness that doesn’t need a label

This is for you if

You want to show up and build success around your nature

Small group coaching session for women leaders developing confident communication, executive presence and leadership skills.

You’re a founder or creative with real expertise and something worth saying

You’re done with generic advice and frameworks that ignore what it actually took to get here - new countries, new languages, mew ways of living

You want speaking confidences that sounds like you, not a script

You care about substance built from within, not just sounding confident on the outside

You want confidence built around who you already are, not who you’re told to become

You want presence in any room that’s completely yours - your story, your background, your color, without toning any of it down

Introducing Nalina Tran

Nalina delivering a keynote presentation on leadership communication and public speaking for multicultural professionals.

I created this coaching for all women, especially bad-ass women of colour, immigrants and daughters of immigrants. I want you to win in all aspects of life. My mission is to help you own your story, speak with confidence, and build a presence that earns respect, without ever softening anything that makes you YOU.

Before I tell you about me, this story begins with my mum.

She was a talented dressmaker who dreamed of opening her own store, but never did. Years later, she told me she didn't have the confidence to negotiate or put herself out there. Instead, she gave our family a different future, moving us from a small coastal town in Vietnam to Australia while making sure we never lost our roots, our culture or our stories.

That experience shaped everything I do.

Today, I'm an award-winning documentary film producer, presenter and communication coach. I've worked with ABC, SBS, Screen Australia and News Corp Australia, and I've learned that the most powerful communicators aren't the loudest, they're the most authentic.

92% of global executives now rank communication as the #1 leadership skill.

98% of participants leave our workshops more confident.

I am helping women to feel more confidence owning their beautiful and rich stories. Let’s start with breaking down some debatable viewpoints on storytelling. I don’t necessarily disagree with “zero to hero”, it’s more so it’s NOT the only way to tell stories nor the foundation of what makes a great story. It comes down to feeling human, to feel seen. If you’re building confidence through communication, public speaking and storytelling, you’re in the right place. Follow @nalinatran #storytelling #womenconfidence #communication #fyp #womenfounders

What’s inside

Build presence that attract opportunities

I've learned this craft as a documentary filmmaker, event MC and advertising storyteller — building pitches and narratives for News Corp Australia, ABC and SBS. Storytelling and pitching aren't theory for me. They're the job. And now they're yours to own too.

WEEK 01

Break the blocks holding you back

Name the cultural and internal conditioning that’s been quietly running the show, and clear the space for the voice that’s actually yours.

WEEK 02

Structure your message with clarity

Learn the frameworks to craft strong, clear messages that honour what you care about and the story you’re carrying

WEEK 03

Become magnetic - Online and in every room

Turn your story, your content and your spice into real delivery: on camera, under pressure, and in the room - built from you, a persona

WEEK 04

Build your signature styles and attract opportunities

Bring it together: strong content, magnetic presence, and pratical confidence tools straight from my years hosting live events, Then start applying it.

Hear it from our badass women

"I left feeling inspired, realigned, and genuinely excited about my business again."

Before I joined Nalina’s storytelling workshop, I was losing sight of who my business was really for, and it was affecting how I showed up online and approached our marketing.
Nalina brought me back to my purpose and vision. She guided us through a calm, fun, engaging, and intimate workshop that helped us rediscover our stories. No one left the room without sharing their ‘why’, which created even deeper connections. I’d recommend Nalina to any business owner feeling disconnected from their purpose. She’s a true storyteller (and somehow doubles as a business therapist too)

"Build confidence, and truly recognise the value in the work we do."

I attended Nalina’s workshop expecting to pick up some communication tools for my creative ventures, but it went so much deeper than that.
Beyond the practical tools, Nalina is incredibly inspiring. Her own life story and personal growth show you that you can forge your own path, and she beautifully reminds us that things don't have to be 'perfect' or completely finished to be meaningful.
Learning to embrace the journey and understand the process was truly invaluable.
— Nahlla

"For more confidence in public speaking."

I had the opportunity to attend Nalina's communication workshop and found it incredibly valuable.
What stood out most was Nalina's ability to connect with everyone in a way that was highly personal. She is a very gifted storyteller. I definitely recommend Nalina if you are hoping to increase your confidence or public speaking skills.

"The workshop also helped bring the team closer together."

Nalina was amazing and created a very active yet grounded space. I found those techniques for overcoming workplace communication and public speaking challenges are very valuable.

"Practical and memorable framework."

I really enjoyed Nalina’s session, it was a clear, practical, and memorable framework. Really excited for the upcoming sessions.
