It's my birthday month. Our family has the tradition of giving little gifts on special days - like Pooh ... or was it Alice... we call them unbirthday gifts. And my gift to you today is a free download. The idea was created by an email from a relative stranger, Anna Maria. She sent me a kind endorsement of my interview with Chris Davidson. It has prompted me to make the interview the topic of this month's newsletter.

"Please accept my most sincere congratulations for your great audio message, on your website.... weird feeling, but I felt attracted by your infectious smile and the happiness radiating from your solar face. I had to grab the courage to ask you directly who you were, when we were queuing up for a coffee...you allowed me to make my own mini journey of discovering a great voice and an amazing personality... Thanks again for your wonderful message and inspiring life story... ” - Anna Maria (read her full email here).

Join me on Monday 8th March for International Women's Day at Gorton Monastery. This will be a fantastic day. So if you are in the area, why not read my news pages for more information or mail me for booking details now. International Women’s Day was first celebrated 99 years ago on 19 March 1911. Since then it has gone from strength to strength with events being held to mark the day all over the world. IWD is a not-for-profit event and so it is truly an occasion not to be missed!

There is also a forum link to Laura Trevett's video. She is a candidate for UKYP - United Kingdom Youth Parliament. Laura is one of my younger clients and her confident presentation shows youth at its best. Why do you think people value public speaking skills? Perhaps it is because people who are articulate and communicate well, earn 81% more than the rest? Now doesn't that statistic make you sit up and take note!

During my recent trip to Australia I met many strangers and I welcome them to Talk Confidence International, yet again my mother's words ring true, "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet..."

Wherever in the world you are, have a fabulous friendly February! And of course if I can help you or your organisation in any way, just ask.
