𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 Two weeks. No work. No school. No social media. Daytime naps and pool time. Relax, recharge, reset. Back on board Mon 4th November. Catch you on the other side. #HolidayFun #FamilyTime #SelfCare #Bali

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬, 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 This one tip will completely change the way you think about presenting. You can still impress with a message that resonates. The audience will feel your sincerity and engage more with your message. Bonus, your confidence builds as you feel more connected to them. #PresentingPowerfully #BuildingConfidence #CalmingNerves

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 Imagine being part of a group where people light up when you’re around, they enjoy being in your presence —people who genuinely care about your progress, celebrate your wins, and are there to lift you up when you face challenges.   This is the power of community. Not just a collection of people but a living, breathing network of support, collaboration, accountability, growth, and guidance. How can it be created in the online space? It’s easy to feel disconnected in this tech focussed world, like you’re going it alone. But humans are wired for connection. This is what I’m presenting to some business owners on Thursday. Would love to know…. P.S. Feel free to expand in the comments.

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝… My little man became a big 5-year-old. Starting school soon. A new chapter for us both. I’ve been working hard to raise an exemplary world citizen and forge a new path with my business. We’re getting there. Slowly but surely. This affirmation is for all the Mummas out there. P.S.

𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠? Not sure your ideas will be well received? Scared of asking the wrong question or saying the wrong thing? Ask for a copy of the AGENDA in advance. Do some research beforehand. Once you know what the meeting is about, you can plan for it. Prepare a question or share an opinion early to calm the nerves. Nervousness is our body’s natural response so don’t fight it. Channel that energy into something useful. Use it as strength. What’s your go-to method to prepare and invite courage? #SpeakingUp #CalmingNerves #PresentingPowerfully

𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬, 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 Imagine what you’d do if you FULLY believed in YOU!  When you stop doubting your value, build unshakeable self-worth and embrace who you truly are, you transform your entire life. One of the foundational truths Jamie Kern Lima covers in this book is the difference between self-worth and confidence. Confidence focusses on things you do (but may feel fulfilled with) and self-worth is your intrinsic value (regardless of what goes on outside). Self-worth is the foundations; confidence is the house you build on it. You can’t have true confidence without self-worth. Here’s 3 simple practical steps to get started: #𝟏 – 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. Instead of focussing on weaknesses and flaws, focus on all the good things you are and have. #𝟐 – 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬. Instead work on becoming a better version of yourself. #𝟑 – 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞.  Acknowledge where you might want to improve but make sure you appreciate your progress too.

𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲… It was meant to be 3 tips for calming your nerves when presenting but I’ve added 3 more below. Watch till the end of the video for my ‘body shock’ hot tip! 4.

This lowers your heart rate and calms the nervous system. 6. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞. Think of three things you’re grateful for in the moment. It shifts your focus from fear to abundance.

It eliminates all the above. It incorporates key words and phrases. Something that feels natural and rolls off the tongue. It’s succinct, to the point and clear. Here’s mine “I’m Carmel Murphy, founder of The Confidence Code, a three-part coaching system that helps women Nail Networking, Leverage LinkedIn and Present Powerfully so they can enter a room with confidence and enjoy being there.” How will you show up to your next event? #PresentPowerfully #ConfidenceBoost #YourMomentToShine
