Becoming Formidable
Formidable You exists for women at every stage of their journey, those starting out, stepping into their first leadership roles, or already navigating senior positions and questioning themselves along the way.
Because the truth is, we are not all playing by the same rules. The challenges women face don’t start in the workplace. They are shaped long before that, through expectations, bias, and the roles we see modelled from an early age. And those patterns follow us into our careers, into leadership, and into the opportunities we do, or don’t take.
This isn’t just about confidence. It’s about understanding the reality of the environment you’re operating in, and learning how to navigate it. Through short, focused workshops, I share honest, practical insights drawn from real experience.
"We’re not behind because we’re less capable. We’re playing a game that wasn’t designed for us."

My Story
My name is Lynda Clarke, I’m a mother of four and I work in an executive leadership role. On paper, it might look like I’ve got things figured out. The truth is I’ve spent a lot of time feeling like I don’t.
I’ve had to learn how to navigate rooms where I didn’t feel like I belonged. To speak up when my voice shook. To keep going while quietly questioning myself. I’ve felt like an imposter more times than I can count.
But I kept showing up anyway, not because I felt confident, but because I didn’t want fear to be the thing that decided my life. Everything I share comes from being in it, pushing outside my comfort zone, getting things wrong, and learning as I go.
Most of us are already stretched, between work, home, expectations, and everything going on in our own heads. The last thing we need is more overwhelm. We need something real. Something practical. Something that actually helps. That’s why I started Formidable You.
I don’t have it all figured out. I’m still in it. Even putting these workshops together has brought up all the usual doubts, am I ready, am I enough?
But I’m choosing to live what I believe: You don’t have to feel ready. You just have to do it anyway.
If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
