Focus on WH‪Y‬ Amy Rowlinson

After years of suffering with crippling communication anxiety, Simon Day was left with two choices: spend his whole life hiding in the shadows and risk losing everything, or find his voice. It was through the strength of conversations that Simon finally found the courage to speak. Communication, connection and courage come together to create opportunity, fulfilment and meaningful work.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“There's fear at one end. There's confidence at the other end and everything in between is courage. There is no short cut. There is no fast track but if you can exercise a particle of courage enough to take that first decision, there is a way out and there is a way up and there is a way to a more fulfilled, happier life but it will come when you choose it and you have to choose to start that journey.”
ABOUT SIMON DAY
Through a painful yet empowering journey of discovery, Simon Day has transformed from terrified teenager to UK award-winning speaker and communications coach. Simon now employs his communication skills as a middle leader in secondary education and works under his self-built brand, Simon Speaks, to coach others seeking to lose their fear, find their voice and speak with greater power.

Lawyer by day, author by candlelight, with a total mindset reset, Emma Davies proves that the sky’s the limit. Having lost her confidence struggling with post-natal anxiety and mum guilt, Emma adopted mindset techniques and personal development growth to find a more liberating way to live. She learned how to say yes, and no, to people or events focusing on what was right for her. With a quirky sense of humour, Emma shares the raw, real and honest journey of her recovery from breast cancer and post-natal anxiety to find her confidence once more and appreciate what is right on her doorstep.

ABOUT EMMA DAVIES
Lawyer by day, representing nurses, Emma Davies is now an author by night having written and shared her story following an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis in 2019.
Throughout treatment Emma found journaling cathartic. Sending weekly mini blogs to her friends and family and after calls of ‘You should write a book’ she thought ‘I bloody will’. ‘Take my hair (but not my humour): one mum’s journey seeing off breast cancer’ was self-published on the 1st October 2020.  
Emma shares her ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ style journey through breast cancer treatment to hold the hand of others going through similar big life experiences but also their loved ones who may be looking in and wondering how they can help.
