How to Own the Room

A powerful book about what happens when women find their voice.

INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION AND BONUS CHAPTER ON 'HOW TO OWN THE ZOOM'

'The ultimate guide to public speaking. Inspirational.' Mary Portas
'I recommend Viv Groskop's How to Own the Room to anyone wanting more self-confidence.' Philippa Perry
**

Most books about public speaking don't tell you what to do when you open your mouth and nothing comes out. And they don't tell you how to get over the anxiety about performance that most people naturally have. They don't tell you what to do in the moments when you are made, as a woman, to feel small. They don't tell you how to own the room. This book does.

From the way Michelle Obama projects 'happy high status', to Virginia Woolf's leisurely pacing and Oprah Winfrey's mastery of inner conviction, what is it that our heroines do to make us sit up and listen - really listen - to their every word? And how can you achieve that impact in your own life? Here's how.

* 'Easy to grasp practical tips... all served up with lightness and generosity.'
* 'It has made me realize I don't even need to be good, but I can be brave.'
* 'Brilliant, engaging, honest, vulnerable, often damn funny.'
