The Small Big Things For More Confidence 

Confidence is an inside-out job, and it's time you stopped hiding your brilliance.

 

Confidence doesn’t come from big, dramatic transformations. It comes from the tiny tweaks we barely notice — a braver response, a reworded thought.

 

In this talk, I share three 'power moves' that, over time, create an unshakable sense of self-belief.

 

Audiences will leave with real, doable micro-habits they can start immediately.

 

No pep talks, no faking-it-til-you-make-it, just quiet power in action.

 

Perfect for: Business owners, educators, leaders, or anyone who hides their brilliance a little too well.

Speaking Topics

Teacher To Entrepreneur: Challenging Imposter Syndrome

"I'm just a teacher" is the most common phrase I hear. I'm passionate about challenging that narrative - we're not 'just' anything and teachers make fantastic entrepreneurs - fact!

  

 

The ATTRACT® Approach To Selling 

The ATTRACT ® Approach was born from 20 years of trying different things and finding a selling and marketing style built on relationships, not on being pushy.

 

 

Whats YOUR Definition Of Success?

Other people's definitions of success and growth often infiltrate our minds, creating unease.  I like to re-centre the conversation to being clear of what success means to us and helping people make that a reality.

 

 

Scrap the formulas! Create your own.

At the very core of what I live and breathe is helping people create their own business blueprints.  There's no one route to a destination, so let's create one that fits us like a glove.

Workshop Topics

Each workshop is underpinned by the ATTRACT ® Approach - the non-pushy style of marketing and selling.

 

 

Unlocking Social Media Success In The Education Space

Every niche has its nuances, and the education space is no different.

 

My Promise: In this action-packed workshop, delegates walk away with complete clarity on what works and what doesn't.

 

 

 

Unlocking Group Classes Success

 

Founded on the principles taught in my Launch, Teach and Fill Group Classes course, this session challenges 'but parents want 1:1s' and replaces it with actionable strategies to get the perfect students into group classes.

 

My Promise: In this interactive session, delegates will walk away with tangible ideas and solutions to mitigate their specific challenges.

 

 

 

Crafting A Bespoke Sales Strategy

Selling doesn't need to be pushy or uncomfortable.  And we need to do it!

 

My Promise:  Delegates will create an end-to-end strategy that fits with their business and ideal client, alongside finding their sales style.

 

 

 

Creating A Tailored Marketing Strategy

 

Our job isn't to post all the time.  Our job is to stay front of mind and to start conversations.

 

My Promise: Delegates will experience creating a bespoke marketing strategy that cuts through the noise and connects with their ideal customer.

Speaker Bio

With 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, Sumantha McMahon defied the belief she grew up with—that business ownership wasn’t a path to success.

 

After years of juggling being a business owner and employee, she took the full-time entrepreneurial plunge in 2017 and never looked back. 

 

Sumantha realised selling personal, professional or academic development required a more nuanced approach than traditional sales tactics.

 

By embracing authentic relationship-building, she unlocked consistent growth and created her signature ATTRACT® Approach.

 

Sumantha helps education business owners sell with confidence by attracting clients, not chasing them.

My core message:

 

Let's stop thinking 'realistically' and think bigger.  We're passionate about impacting young people, but we can't do that unless we innovate and sell.  It's time for us to challenge limiting beliefs and complicated strategies so we can confidently step out of the shadows and into the spotlight.  

 

Since 2017, I've been able to share my passion with hundreds of people around the world. 

 

I'm proud to be an active contributor to the education business space through my weekly podcast, that engages 500+ global listeners a week, and through guesting on various others. 

 

I also deliver talks and webinars at industry events e.g. The Tutors' Association Conference 2024.
