Speak Up and Be Heard

Speak Up and Be Heard will help you cope and present your best self in pressurised environments.  Interviews, meetings, presentations and speaking up can fill us with dread; many of us struggle to speak confidently and clearly when we’re in the spotlight.  Brilliant people can crumble under pressure.  The impact of that is huge - not getting the job, the promotion, the recognition. Learning how to manage this can change life outcomes.

The difference with this book is that it gives you practical ways to start working from the outside in rather than the inside out.  So rather than simply telling yourself daily to be more confident, Lindsay encourages you to think about your energy to help you increase your presence and use story structure to help you engage people with your content. 

What you’ll learn from the book

• Practical techniques to help you speak with more confidence in interviews, meetings or presentations


• How you can turn nerves into a positive and compelling energy that helps you under pressure 


• A heightened sense of self-awareness and how to use energy to invite a positive response 

“The practical advice and exercises encourage you to find out what works best for you. I can’t recommend this highly enough, whether to young people preparing for life after school, young adults going for their first interview, or to those established in careers wanting to take their life to the next level.”
