In this week’s round-up of all the best tips and tricks for confidence and performance, we continue with the theme of preparation.

Talking to actress Nicole Ansari (Deadwood) and her husband Brian Cox (Succession), Viv discusses their definitions of owning the room while involving other people.

Former TV presenter turned best-selling author Dawn O’Porter talks very movingly about how easily we can get distracted by what is not working, while entrepreneur Sharmadean Reid, one of the first black women in the world to raise over a million pounds in venture capital for her digital platform Beautystack, talks about how she stays prepared and focused.

Viv's new book, Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident, is available for preorder.
