Transform your mindset & change your life

In a post-COVID-19 and AI world plagued with uncertainty, challenges, innovation and disruption, the ability to overcome adversity has never been greater.

Personal success in this era largely hinges on your capacity as an individual to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to challenges. It is also about how well you repackage yourself to fit into the new world and its needs. The same goes for organisational success: without a strong resilience culture today, the going is bound to be choppy.

Mental resilience – or what Jillian loves to call the Irrepressible Mind – is a powerful building block that anyone can use to not only turn their life around, but also catapult themselves to success.

Through her inspiring talks and resilience workshops, Jillian helps people cultivate resilience so that they are better placed to manage stress, handle pressure and work challenges, as well as rise above challenges – both personal and professional.

Ever find yourself apologizing too much—even when there’s nothing to be sorry for? 🙅‍♀️ It’s time to break the habit and start speaking with confidence & authority.

🔥 Own Your Words—No More Unnecessary Apologies. Studies show that women apologize more due to social conditioning, not actual mistakes. Swap “Sorry, but…” for “I’d like to add…” to sound more assertive.

🔥 Pause Before You Apologize. Many people apologize as a default reflex. Before saying “Sorry,” pause. Ask yourself—is this really necessary? If not, reframe your response with confidence.

🔥 Ditch Softening Language. Phrases like “I just think…” or “Maybe this is wrong, but…” weaken your authority. Instead, speak directly: “Here’s what I recommend.” Strong. Clear. Powerful.

🔥 Command Space with Your Voice & Posture. Confidence isn’t just in words—it’s in body language. Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and use a steady, deliberate tone. When you take up space, people listen.

🔥 Bonus Tip: Swap ‘Sorry’ for Strength. Instead of “Sorry for the delay,” say “Thanks for your patience.” Shift from apologetic to appreciative—it reinforces leadership presence.

💡 Try these in your next conversation and notice how people respond differently. Save this & share with someone who needs this reminder! 💬👇

Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. Every great speaker, leader, or performer you admire once started where you are now. The difference? They practiced confidence until it became second nature. 🔥

Here are 5 proven ways to build unshakable confidence:

🔥 1. Master Your Body Language
Your posture, eye contact, and movements speak before you do. Stand tall, shoulders back, and take up space. Confident body language = a confident mind.

🔥 2. Take Small, Daily Risks
Confidence comes from action. Speak up in a meeting, start a conversation, or push past your comfort zone daily. Small wins build massive self-belief.

🔥 3. Train Your Inner Voice
Your mind listens to what you say. Replace “I can’t” with “I’m learning.” Shift “I’m not good enough” to “I am growing.” Your words shape your confidence.

🔥 4. Prepare, Then Let Go
Confidence doesn’t come from knowing everything—it comes from knowing you can handle anything. Prepare well, but don’t overthink. Trust yourself.

🔥 5. Act Confident Before You Feel It
Science backs this up—acting confident actually makes you confident. Dress the part, walk with purpose, and speak with certainty. Soon, you won’t be acting.

💡 Confidence isn’t built overnight, but it’s built daily. Start today. Save this & share it with someone who needs it! 💬👇

#Leadership #AITransformation #FutureOfWork #PASummit #EASummit #JillianHaslam

Your voice isn’t just for you. It’s meant to help, inspire, and uplift others. 🎤✨

The greatest speakers don’t speak for applause—they speak for impact. They don’t chase validation; they seek to create change.

I used to think public speaking was about looking confident, sounding smart, and impressing the crowd. But the moment I stopped speaking for approval and started speaking to serve—everything changed.

🔥 Speak to connect, not to impress. People don’t remember perfect words; they remember how you made them feel.
🔥 Share your story. Someone out there needs to hear it. Your voice can be the reason they don’t give up.
🔥 Shift your focus. Instead of thinking, How do I sound? ask, How can I help? That’s when your message becomes powerful.

💡 Your voice has power beyond you. Use it to make an impact. Save this post & share it with someone who needs to hear this. 💬👇

#PublicSpeaking #SpeakForImpact #CommunicationSkills #Leadership #Confidence #JillianHaslam

Public speaking isn’t just about words—it’s about energy. And if your mental health suffers, so does your delivery. 🎤💡

I used to think that preparation alone was enough. That if I rehearsed my speech a hundred times, I’d be fine. But when I was exhausted, stressed, and burned out—my words lost their power. The audience doesn’t just hear you; they feel you. And when you’re running on empty, they can tell.

🔥 Prioritize rest. Sleep, meditate, or take breaks before big speeches. Your mind needs clarity to perform at its best.
🔥 Manage stress. Speaking from a place of calm confidence is way more powerful than speaking from anxiety. Breathe, visualize success, and trust yourself.
🔥 Fuel your body. A sharp mind needs proper nutrition. Stay hydrated, eat well, and avoid energy crashes before stepping on stage.

💡 If you want to speak with impact, take care of yourself first. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Save this post as your reminder & share it with someone who needs to hear this. 💬👇

Most people talk… but few are truly heard. Ever wonder why? 🤔

I used to overexplain everything—thinking that more words meant more clarity. But instead of making an impact, my message got lost.

Then I learned this: The more you talk, the less people listen.

🔥 Keep it short & powerful. Instead of rambling, speak in clear, direct sentences. Example: “You have to believe in yourself.” Simple. No fluff.

🔥 Pause for impact. Silence is your secret weapon. When you stop talking, people start thinking. Give your words space to land.

🔥 Let your message breathe. When you’re concise, people remember what you said. And when you pause, they feel the weight of your words.

💡 Try this today. Keep your sentences short, pause between thoughts, and watch how people actually start listening. Save this & share it with someone who needs this tip! 💬👇

Some people walk into a room, and instantly—everyone pays attention. Ever wonder why? 🤔

It’s not just about looks, status, or fancy words. It’s about presence. The way you carry yourself, the way you speak, the way you make others feel. Here’s how to master instant charisma:

🔥 Master warm eye contact. Look at someone for 3–5 seconds with a relaxed gaze. Too little? You seem unsure. Too much? It’s intimidating. Find the balance. 👀

🔥 Use an engaging vocal tone. A dynamic voice holds attention. Monotone = forgettable. Vary your pitch, pause, and emphasize key words. 🔊

🔥 Use names to create connections. Studies show that hearing our own name triggers positive brain responses and builds trust. Use names often—but naturally.

🔥 Project warmth before authority. People trust those who feel approachable before they respect their expertise. Be warm first, then show competence. 🤝

💡 Bonus tip: Match your body language to the energy of the room. Subtle mirroring makes people feel comfortable and understood.

Want to command attention without saying a word? Your body language speaks louder than you think. Here’s how to use it to become instantly more influential:

🔥 Adopt an Open Posture. Stand tall, uncross your arms, and take up space. This signals confidence and authority, making people more likely to trust and follow you.

🔥 Use Intentional Hand Gestures. Purposeful movements reinforce your message and boost audience retention, making you appear more persuasive.

🔥 Maintain Steady Eye Contact. Holding eye contact for 3–5 seconds builds trust and influence, while avoiding it can make you seem uncertain.

🔥 Control Your Pace and Movements. Slow, deliberate gestures project authority, while rushed or fidgety actions reduce perceived confidence.

🔥 Bonus Tip: Mirror Subtly to Build Rapport. Psychology shows that subtly mimicking posture and gestures increases likability, making interactions feel more natural.

I used to rush my words, speak too high, and feel like my voice lacked authority. But then I learned something that changed everything. Confidence isn’t about having no fear—it’s about sounding like you don’t.

Here’s the trick:

🔥 Lower your pitch. When we’re nervous, we speak in a higher tone. Take a deep breath and drop your voice slightly. Instant authority.🔥 Slow down. Rushing through words makes you sound unsure. Confident speakers take their time.🔥 Pause. Let your words land. Give your message space to breathe.

Try this in your next conversation, meeting, or speech, and watch how people start paying attention. The way you sound shapes how people perceive you. Own your voice. Own the room. 🎤

I used to think that being persuasive meant having the perfect words. That if I memorized my speech, hit every fact, and sounded smart enough, people would listen. But no matter how much I rehearsed, I could see it—the blank stares, the fading attention, the lack of engagement.

Then, I discovered something that changed everything. It wasn’t about what I said. It was about how I said it.

✨ I paused—and suddenly, my words carried more weight and authority.✨ I told stories—and people started leaning in instead of tuning out. Storytelling made my message unforgettable.✨ I used my voice with intention—and my communication skills improved instantly.

The best speakers don’t just talk. They create moments that move people. If you want to be more persuasive in public speaking, don’t just focus on the words—focus on the delivery, tone, and pacing. That’s where the real power is.

I grew up in abject poverty, but my mother’s generosity and my father’s wisdom planted the seeds in my soul that helped me grow beyond my circumstances. 🌱

We had little, yet my mother gave freely. She showed me that kindness wasn’t about what you had—it was about what you shared. My father, on the other hand, taught me resilience, discipline, and the value of knowledge. Together, they shaped me into the person who refused to be defined by hardship.

Because of them, I didn’t just survive—I learned how to rise. And once I did, I knew I had to help others do the same. Growth isn’t just about what you overcome; it’s about how you lift others along the way.

Public speaking gave me hope. It gave me a voice when I didn’t know I had one—when every day felt like a battle to survive. When you grow up feeling invisible, unheard, or like your words don’t matter, standing on a stage feels impossible. But here’s what I learned: your voice is more powerful than you think.

I wasn’t born confident. I wasn’t given a stage. But I found my voice because I refused to let fear silence me. And once I spoke, I realized that people weren’t just listening—they were connecting.

Your story matters. Your voice matters. Even if it shakes. Even if you doubt yourself. Even if you’ve been told to stay quiet. Someone out there needs to hear what only you can say.

💡 If you’ve ever felt like your voice didn’t matter, know this: it does. Keep speaking. Keep showing up. You never know whose life you’ll change—including your own. Save this as your reminder & share it with someone who needs to hear it. 💬👇

I used to believe that great speakers were the ones who had all the perfect words. The ones who sounded polished, effortless, and commanding. So every time I spoke, I tried to impress. I rehearsed every line, memorized every fact, and obsessed over sounding ‘right.’

But something was missing. People listened—but they didn’t connect. They heard me, but they didn’t feel me.

Then, one day, I did something different. I stopped trying to be impressive and started trying to be real. I told a story, I made eye contact, I let silence fill the gaps instead of forcing words. And for the first time, I felt it—the moment when speaking turns into connection.

If you want to be a great speaker, stop performing. Start relating.

💡 Lead with empathy. Make it a conversation. Tell a story. And most importantly—speak to connect, not to impress. Save this for when you need a reminder, and share it with someone who wants to be a better speaker. 💬👇

Still nervous when speaking? Still fumbling your words? Still feeling like the crowd is judging you? 😰

Here’s how to fix it:1️⃣ Record yourself & watch it back↳ Notice your pacing, tone, and habits. Self-awareness is key. 🎥2️⃣ Speak slower than you think you should↳ Fast speech = lost impact. Slow down, and you’ll sound more powerful. ⏳3️⃣ Pause. Let your words breathe.↳ Silence commands attention. Use it to emphasize key points. 🔥

Think great speakers are born? 🎤 Think again. It’s time to bust some myths that are holding you back from becoming the speaker you were meant to be. 💥

Here are 4 public speaking myths you need to drop today:

“Great Speakers Are Born, Not Made”→ Public speaking is a skill. Practice, feedback, and learning make you great—not talent.

“You Shouldn’t Be Nervous if You’re Prepared”→ Even pros feel nervous! Nerves can sharpen your focus when managed right.

“Memorizing Your Speech is Best”→ Memorizing = sounding robotic. Focus on key points for a natural, engaging flow.

“The Audience Will Notice Every Mistake”→ Newsflash: They won’t. Minor mistakes? No one cares if you keep going with confidence.

The truth?Great speakers aren’t perfect—they’re practiced. Ready to step up and own the stage? 🎤🔥

Have you ever felt so small, so unheard, that you wondered if your voice even mattered?

That was my life. I fell down—physically and emotionally—more times than I can count. By the time I was 14 or 15, I felt completely broken inside. My siblings laughed lovingly when I stumbled, but deep down, I was drowning in self-doubt. I was timid, nervous, and unsure of myself. My voice? Buried under layers of fear.

But one day, I said, ‘Enough.’
I refused to let fear and doubt control me any longer. I was determined to find the voice I thought I had lost—to stop falling and start rising.

Today, I help hundreds of girls and women find their voices because I know exactly what it feels like to believe you’re not enough. But I also know the power of pushing through that fear and realizing just how strong you truly are.

💡 If you’ve ever felt silenced or small, know this: your voice matters. Follow me, and let me show you how to turn your struggles into your greatest strength. 💬✨

🔥 Master Vocal Variety: Charismatic speakers adjust pitch, tone, and pacing to keep their audience hooked. Flat delivery? Forgettable. Dynamic voice? Unstoppable. 🎶
🔥 Use Strategic Pauses: Silence isn’t awkward—it’s powerful. A well-placed pause builds anticipation, strengthens credibility, and makes people lean in. ⏳
🔥 Command Presence With Body Language: Over 50% of audience perception comes from what they see. Open gestures, strong posture, and intentional movement = instant authority. 💪
🔥 Lean Into Storytelling: Facts inform, but stories inspire. Neuroscience proves that storytelling activates multiple brain areas, making your message more memorable and emotionally impactful. 📖✨

Even in the darkest corner, a voice can bring light. ✨

I know because I’ve been there—trapped in a place where hope seemed impossible, where fear was louder than anything else. But in those moments, it wasn’t strength or certainty that saved me. It was a voice.

A voice that refused to be silenced.
A voice that chose to fight instead of fade.
A voice that said, I matter. I exist. I will not be broken.

And that voice can be yours too. No matter how dark it feels, remember this: your words, your fight, your truth—can change everything.

When I was thrown into a dark room with flying cockroaches and told I would amount to nothing, I had two choices:

1️⃣ Accept it. Let the words define me. Stay in that darkness.
2️⃣ Refuse to believe it. See my circumstances not as a prison, but as a lesson.

I chose the latter. I chose to fight, to rise, to believe that my story wasn’t over. And if I could make that choice in the face of fear, so can you.

⏳ Exude Confidence: Strategic pauses make you sound more composed and credible—rushed speech signals nervousness. 💪
⏳ Create Anticipation: A well-placed pause builds suspense and draws people in, making your words land with more impact. 🔥

I was invited to give a TED Talk at Stormont in Ireland—a moment that should have been a dream come true. 🎤✨ But instead of excitement, I felt pure fear. Seeing my name next to top politicians and leaders, I was convinced I didn’t belong.

I spent hours hiding in the bathroom, too afraid to eat, too anxious to sleep. And when my turn finally came, every part of me screamed RUN! But I didn’t. I took a deep breath, stepped onto that stage, and spoke my truth.

By the time I returned to London, my talk had 50,000 views. Today, it has over 300,000, and I’ve delivered six more TEDx talks. 🚀

💡 Fear will always be there, but so will opportunity. If I could push through my doubts, so can you. Take that first step—it might just change your life.

Your words might be perfect, but if your body isn’t on the same page, your message loses power. 🗣️💬 Body language speaks louder than words, and when misaligned, it can cost you credibility, trust, and connection. Here’s how to fix it:

👉 Align Verbal & Nonverbal Cues: Don’t say “I’m confident” while crossing your arms! 🚫🙅 Ensure your gestures reinforce, not contradict, your words.
👉 Facial Expressions Matter: Your face should mirror your tone—if your message is positive, your expression should match to build trust. 😊👍
👉 Adopt Open Postures: Uncrossed arms, relaxed shoulders, and open gestures project confidence and make you more approachable. 🙌✨
👉 Control Nervous Gestures: Fidgeting or tapping can signal anxiety 😬 and distract from your message. Use intentional movements to project authority. ✋
👉 Strategic Eye Contact: Hold eye contact 👁️ for 3–5 seconds per person to show confidence—just enough to engage, but not too much to overwhelm.

💡 Your body should amplify your words, not contradict them. Save this as your body language checklist and comment below: What’s one habit you’re working on? 💬👇

Want to build deeper connections and leave a lasting impression? 🌟 Mastering the art of meaningful conversation is easier than you think. Here’s how to take your small talk to the next level:

🔥 Ask Open-Ended Questions: Instead of “How’s work?” try “What’s something exciting you’re working on?” It encourages meaningful dialogue and deeper engagement.
🔥 Practice Active Listening: Show genuine interest by paraphrasing what the other person says and using affirmations like “That’s interesting, tell me more.”
🔥 Share, But Don’t Overshare: Open up with relatable experiences without dominating the conversation—this builds trust and encourages reciprocal sharing.
🔥 Use Nonverbal Cues: Eye contact, nodding, and open gestures show attentiveness and create warmth in any interaction.
🔥 Find Common Ground: Shared interests and values strengthen bonds. Guide the conversation toward mutual interests for instant rapport.
🔥 Look Forward, Not Just Back: End on a high note with a forward-looking question like “What’s something exciting you’re looking forward to?” It leaves a positive impression and invites future connection.

💡 The key to connection? Listening, sharing, and staying present. Save this for your next social event and comment: What’s your go-to conversation starter? 💬✨
