SHYNESS IS A SUPERPOWER - TALK / ASSEMBLY - From £275

A 60 minute Session on Understanding and Working with Shyness

In this engaging and empowering 60-minute session, Nadia helps young people navigate the challenges of shyness and discover how to embrace their authentic selves while stepping into their full potential. Designed for both primary and secondary students, this session can be delivered as a school assembly or as a classroom workshop or talk, either in person or via Zoom.

Students will gain practical strategies they can implement immediately to take control of their shyness, build confidence, and participate more fully in school and life. Beyond benefiting shy students, this session raises awareness among their peers, fostering a more empathetic and inclusive school environment. With a focus on empowerment, not change, Nadia inspires students to step out of the shadows and shine on their own terms.

Nadia's talk will be followed by a Q&A session and a book signing, if desired. 

In addition, schools will receive a complementary copy of Quiet Riot signed by the author, for the school library. 

SHY SUPERHEROES - A Quiet Riot Book Reading & Interactive Session - from £275

In this engaging 60-minute session, I will bring Quiet Riot to life by sharing inspiring stories of shy superheroes—real-life trailblazers who have achieved incredible things, not in spite of their shyness, but because of it. Through storytelling, I will introduce students to softly spoken yet mighty individuals from the worlds of sport, science, music, activism, and beyond—showing them that being quiet doesn’t mean they can’t make a big impact.

Together, we will explore the key themes of Quiet Riot, from dreaming big to staying true to yourself, and reflect on the unique strengths that come with being shy. The session will include interactive discussions and thought-provoking coaching questions to help students feel more confident in their own voices.

Ahead of my visit, students will have the opportunity to pre-order their own copy of Quiet Riot, which I will personally sign on the day. This gives them a chance to take home a book filled with inspiring stories and practical strategies to help them embrace their quiet power.

At the end of the session, there will be a Q&A where students can ask questions, share their thoughts, and connect with the stories in a meaningful way. I will also be available for book signings, ensuring each student receives a personalised message of encouragement.

In addition, schools will receive a complementary copy of Quiet Riot signed by the author, for the school library. 

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF: Confidence Workshop - from £350

Speaking up can feel scary, but your voice matters! Speak For Yourself is a fun, interactive 60-minute workshop designed to help students build confidence, overcome nerves, and express themselves with greater ease.

Many young people struggle with speaking in front of others—whether it’s answering a question in class, presenting their ideas, or standing up for what they believe in. This workshop provides practical strategies to help students manage their fears, develop self-assurance, and feel more comfortable speaking up in everyday situations.

Through engaging activities, group discussions, and simple confidence-building techniques, students will learn how to:
✅ Overcome nerves and self-doubt
✅ Speak clearly and with confidence
✅ Manage anxious thoughts before and during speaking
✅ Express their ideas without fear of judgment
✅ Take small, manageable steps towards being heard

The session is designed to be supportive, uplifting, and empowering—helping students realise that confidence isn’t about being the loudest in the room, but about believing in their own voice.

By the end of the workshop, students will walk away with practical tools they can use immediately to speak for themselves—whether in class, social situations, or beyond.
