Exciting news!! My husband Richard Newman has written a book! And it’s REALLY good! It is genuinely life changing stuff - packed with practical tools to help you make your ideas heard, let your inner self shine and showing you how to translate knowledge into a message everyone can understand. Some of us are told we are shy, or get crippling anxiety over public speaking, or just feel no-one listens when we talk. This book will change all of that. Full of stories and original research in conjunction with researchers in psychology at UCL, it is truly a self-help page turner. Everyone can learn something from this incredible book. You can join me at the BOOK LAUNCH in London on Tuesday December 11th with drinks to celebrate, and a two hour free masterclass with the man himself. Just go to borntospeak.com (link in bio) to get your copy of the book, tickets to the launch and claim amazing bonus packages too! Can’t wait to see you there!!! #borntospeak #celebrate @richardnewmanspeaks #booklaunch #makeideashappen #communicate #authenticity #publicspeaking #learnto #befree #psychology #psychologyfacts #ucl #storytelling #bodytalk #confidence
Working with interpreters can be a challenge but this team were a delight. They were doing simultaneous translation in Chinese and Turkish for me and people still laughed at all the jokes! My tips for working with international audiences and interpreters are:
1) Enunciate! Speak slowly and emphasise words so that each word is crystal clear
2) Always avoid colloquial phrases, as a general habit. Use the simplest possible words to express your meaning.
3) Meet the team before you start. Explain the content briefly and ensure the key messages are clear.
4) Most importantly - repeat any questions! If anyone in the room speaks without a microphone the interpreters in sound proof booths won’t be able to hear it and they’ll feel lost. Keep an eye on them and check for any rapid hand waving to tell you the sound has been lost!
Overall it’s really rewarding to do international events - especially when there is such a great team around you! #presentation #interpreter #translation #speak #communicate #borntospeak #keynote #speaker #conference #speech #publicspeaking
Make Your Ideas Happen. This is the message behind ‘You Were Born to Speak’. Out this Friday 7th December in hardback on Amazon worldwide and also available on Kindle. Sometimes we all struggle to get a message across how we’d like to - the practical tips, research and experience in this book is absolute gold for anyone hoping to communicate in a way that sticks. In a world with so much competing noise, and a vast sea of information at our fingertips, the messages that stay with us are the ones that appeal to our emotions. And so much great research gets ignored. Why? Because the ideas were not communicated in a way that made them compelling. I find this in the field of nutrition; so many well designed studies are ignored because no-one read them or drew attention to them. Don’t let your message get lost - if you are a teacher, a trainer, a parent, an educator, a researcher, a manager, an innovator, a journalist, a friend, a husband, a wife - well, then this book is for you! Check out @richardnewmanspeaks for more information or click on the link to buy the book in my bio.
Also - an amazing bonus - ALL profits from the book are going to charities that help children gain safety, healthcare and education. You have no reason not to buy this wonderful book!
Plugging my husband’s book because, well - it’s amazing #borntospeak #makeideashappen #bodytalk #ukbodytalk #authenticity #communication #breathe #breatheinbreatheout #stressfree #smile #voice #beyourbestyou
Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom

Some key take home points for me:
It’s all in the mindset - what you think you will become.
Athletes are prime examples of this - Muhammad Ali had his ‘Future History’ visualisation technique which programmed his mind for success. He totally believed in his abilities, visualised how amazing it felt to win the fight and focused all his energy on making it a reality - which he did multiple times! •
•
✨ Core values. Choose 3 core values which resonate with you the most (e.g. honesty, freedom, compassion).
Having a strong connection with these values is crucial - a study even showed that participants who wrote out their core values multiple times before being exposed to a stressful environment experienced far less stress because they knew their importance. •
Convert your nerves to excitement. The body produces very similar symptoms for both so choose to channel your mind towards being excited rather than nervous and you’re much more likely to see the opportunities rather than experience fear in a given situation. •
•
Get out of your comfort zone. It’s so easy to stay in a comfortable & safe zone but only by going beyond this stage can we really grow & achieve the dreams which appear too big or scary. •

On that note, i’m excited to get out of my comfort zone again this morning as I’m heading over to meet @secret.sunrise.london for their last event of the year Happy Wednesday!
