Claudia Tinnirello - From Sicily to the UK. How to overcome judgment and build confidence

Claudia Tinnirello is originally from Sicily but has lived in England since 2005. Not being an English native speaker, Claudia understands the struggles of overcoming judgement and the fear of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. She has however discovered ways of becoming a better and confident public speaker by sharing her voice in many different ways - an international bestselling author and the CEO and founder of web design business Sophisticated Cloud Limited being just two.

After being made redundant four times, Claudia had started to lack confidence and become unsure of what to do next. It was suggested to her that she join Toastmasters International to try to and restore her confidence and control her nerves and fear of public speaking. So much so she is now President of the Toastmasters International Basingstoke Speakers Club.
