Introducing Brighter Works

Hello everyone! We are Kirsty Cooke and Michelle Fahrenheim, and we're the co-founders of Brighter Works. ✨

Brighter Works is a confidence and communications company and we bloody love helping people learn how to shine BRIGHTER both at work and in their personal lives.

The two of us met doing improvised comedy and have known each other (and collaborated together) for over a decade. One of us has a background in marketing and communication, and the other has a background in acting, teaching and coaching. We’ll let you work out who is who from our marginally different presences on LinkedIn.

We eventually realised we both had a lot of experience with (and immense passion for) helping people feel more confident and empowered. So we started Brighter Works.

Our ethos is rooted in 'Practice and Play'. By play, we mean fun and games. This reduces the stakes so people feel more able to give something that might feel a bit out of their comfort zone a go. And the practice is where we believe the confidence actually grows. The more you do something, the easier it feels. Rather than "Fake It ‘til You Make It," it's more, “Do It ‘til It Doesn’t Feel Difficult.” (Less catchy? Perhaps. But we can live with that.) 

We really believe confidence changes everything. It changes how we show up, what we're willing to try, and what we think we deserve. And as a result of all that, it affects how other people in the world see us, too.

We can’t wait to meet you. Whether that’s here on LinkedIn, at one of our workshops, or just in a conversation about confidence. Come and say hello.
