ABOUT ADENCY
“We don’t struggle with confidence. We struggle with being stuck in self-consciousness.”
Self-consciousness quietly costs talented people their ideas, voice, opportunities, and impact. Adency Selena knows what it’s like to have something meaningful to say but feel too self-conscious to say it. After years of hiding behind fears of judgment, rejection, and being seen, she had a pivotal moment on stage where she realized that self-consciousness wasn’t just costing her energy and momentum, it was costing her her dreams. She has since dedicated her work to understanding the roots of self-consciousness and what keeps us stuck from owning our voice and value.
Adency doesn’t believe in surface level, fleeting confidence tips and tactics. She believes in creating sustainable confidence- confidence that doesn’t fluctuate no matter what room or conversation you’re in. To help achieve this, her talk focuses on creating a profound awareness of where self-consciousness stems from and how it impacts communication, daily behaviors, and our ability to speak up. Audiences leave with a clear understanding and actionable steps in how to stand confidently in their voice, visibility, and value.
Have you ever felt like you had something important to say, but stopped yourself because you were too self-conscious to say it? Let’s be honest- when it comes to the fear of speaking up, we’re not thinking about what we have to say, instead we’re obsessing over how we will be perceived.
The truth is, our fear of speaking up isn’t from a lack of confidence or a fear of public speaking. It’s about not yet feeling safe within ourselves to be judged, criticized, rejected and be completely at peace with it.
We don’t need more confidence hacks or speaking tricks. What we actually need is awareness on how to get unstuck from self-consciousness so we can speak up, show up, and be seen and heard no matter what room or conversation we’re in. When we learn how to get unstuck from self-consciousness, we build a confidence that doesn’t fluctuate with the environment- whether if we’re in a team meeting, asking a client for the sale, speaking on stage, or showing up online. The result of this? More engaged teams. Higher sales. Stronger presence. More effective pitches and presentations. And the self-confidence to own your voice and value without hesitation.
Adency Selena desired for years to be a professional speaker and coach but hid behind self-consciousness, perfectionism, and fears of being seen and heard for years. When she finally had the courage to speak on a stage for the first time, her self-consciousness reached a boiling point. This was a pivotal moment where she realized that her self-consciousness wasn’t just costing her energy and emotional well being, it was also costing her her dreams.
Adency realized her self-consciousness wasn’t just costing her energy and emotional well- being, it was also costing her her dreams.
Ever since this moment, she dedicated herself to becoming an expert in self-consciousness and fears of being seen and heard. She knows how exhausting it can be to have something meaningful to say or a dream in your heart, but hold back due to self-consciousness.
Her journey of dedicating herself to understanding self-consciousness so it no longer controls the narrative, led her to develop a framework that helps others do the same. Adency helps entrepreneurs, leaders, students, and business professionals shift from self-conscious to self-confident so they can stop questioning their worth and start owning their voice. She’s spoken to several audiences including the 2025 Creators Conference, the Toastmasters International District 48 Conference, Lean In, and Closer to Our Dreams. She has placed in multiple Toastmasters International competitions and is a Toastmasters award winning speaker. She’s trained and inspired countless individuals to shift from self-conscious to self-confident no matter what room or conversation they are in.
Through her talk, audiences don’t just hear your typical, surface-level confidence or speaking tips. They experience a profound awareness of how self-consciousness impacts their communication, daily behaviors, voice, and performance. They leave with a clear understanding and actionable steps in how to stand confidently in their voice, visibility, and value.
