Here’s my ‘official’ bio

Samantha Nolan-Smith is the CEO and founder of The School of Visibility. Combining her background as a lawyer and social justice advocate, with her training in personal and spiritual development, Samantha has developed a unique approach to overcoming visibility blocks and barriers. 

After studying at the School of Visibility, women find they’re able to:

• better recognise their worth,

• feel more confident in sharing their ideas with the world,

• promote their work with ease and joy, and

• establish themselves as leaders in their industries.
