Speaking + Collaborations

Back Yourself, Don’t Attack Yourself is the message I live, eat, breathe, sleep on, teach on, speak on, coach on and fiercely believe in. I’m on a mission to share my insights + toolkit on this topic with as many people as possible so they can free themselves from the trappings of negative self-talk, and take on an attitude of self-support that will turbo-charge their confidence in their key areas of life + work.

I’m Sophie French, founder of the Back Yourself: Don’t Attack Yourself programme and Magic Activation Retreats and I specialise in supporting women to switch their crippling self-doubt for unshakeable self-belief and swap their inner critic for their inner champion.

My soulful yet straight-talking approach to minimising the mean voice in your head and activating more of the self-assured magnificence I believe everyone has within them, will provide your audience with practical tools to diminish that inner critic, expand their self-confidence and activate the fire in their belly to make things happen! 

My talks have been described as: ‘captivating, inspiring and engaging’ and your audience can expect to feel: energised, uplifted, shifted, educated, pulsing with passion to get moving, and unstoppable in their quest to back themselves.

The toolkit I share through my speaking topics will provide powerful, insightful and impactful ways to ‘crush the can’t’ in your head, and reactivate the self-belief that many have forgotten they have access to.

“Sophie will lead you to a place of self discovery, confidence and clarity in a way you wouldn't think possible. She gave my guests a huge amount of clarity and confidence, empowering them with the self awareness and tools needed to combat their limiting beliefs and work towards their true intentions.”

- Alice Benham, Founder of The Gather & Grow Retreat

Why me?

  • Whether it’s via my portfolio of IGTV videos, in-person workshops / retreats, group mentoring for students, client coaching, panel talks or group trainings, I feel most at home in front of an audience and will provide your team / community with an abundance of tools + knowledge to support them in their self-belief activation.

  • I always bring a unique flavour to my talks and happily and openly share my own amusing anecdotes to help drive key learnings home and add a relatable and empathetic approach to the experience. (Yes, that is a picture of me up there wearing my pants on the outside in front of an audience at a mental health + wellbeing event…)

  • I’m very Q&A friendly and aim to bring interaction as well as insight to my talks and presentations, with the intention to spark thought-provoking further conversations and deeper insights that often last well after delivery.

  • I pride myself on delivering impactful, emotive and educational messages via the craft of storytelling and provide talks that engage your audience so they feel part of a wider conversation rather than feeling talked ‘at’.
