Maria Newman Coaching
It's Time To Unlock Your Power
Walk Away Feeling Inspired,
Confident and Ready
for Anything
I help audiences build resilience, boost confidence and master their mindset so they can show up, speak up and thrive.
Drawing from my own lived experience, I deliver powerful, inspirational talks that resonate deeply, especially with women who struggle to make their voices heard.
Growing up in a male-dominated culture and forging a successful career in a corporate world where I had to fight to be heard, I know what it takes to stand your ground. I’ve lived it.
My turning point came in 2016, with two children under three. I took a leap most wouldn’t dare, walking away from the security of my corporate job through voluntary redundancy to build a business on my own terms. It was the boldest and best decision I ever made.
Now, I help others find that same courage because when you own your voice, you own your future.
'The situation you find yourself in doesn’t determine what happens to you in life. You are stronger than you realise, you are more capable than you know and you are more powerful than you can imagine. Trust yourself and take the first step in your new direction'
I had the pleasure of attending a key note delivered by Maria in Bristol and can honestly say it was one of the best I’ve watched and heard. Maria clearly knows her stuff when it comes to confidence and mindset but for me it was the delivery that captivated me. Drawing me in , making me want to learn more and most importantly giving me clear tangible take aways that I implemented in my working life the very next day. I consider myself as someone who is already confident in my ability but the time with Maria gave me more confidence. A joy to watch and listen to and I would highly recommend her in many settings from sales teams, to the education sector, 1-2-1 support and of course other networking groups looking for great guest speakers.
Keynote Talks That Inspire Action
Life’s challenges can shake your confidence and leave you questioning who you are. My talks are designed to help audiences shift their mindset, build resilience and step into their power so they can face these challenges head-on.
With a mix of personal experience, humour and practical strategies, I leave people feeling inspired, energised and ready to take on whatever comes next.
Choose from one of three my three keynote talks; From Setback to Comeback, Finding Your Confidence: From Oh No To Hell Yeah and Rise Above The Noice In Your Head.
From Setback To Comeback
Life knocks us down and yet what matters is how we rise. A comeback isn’t about luck, it’s about mindset, resilience and taking intentional action. In this talk, I share practical strategies to help you shift your perspective, reignite your drive and create the comeback you deserve.
Finding Your Confidence: From Oh No To Hell Yeah
Confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t, it’s something you build. And it starts by changing the way you see yourself. In this talk, I share practical simple strategies to help you ditch self-doubt and step up with unshakeable confidence.
Rise Above The Noise In Your Mind
Did you know that that little voice in your head is lying to you? The fear, the self-doubt and the overthinking. It’s time to put it in its place. In this talk, I’ll help you quiet the noise, reprogramme your mindset and finally trust yourself to take action.
Empowering, relatable and packed with practical strategies. My talks leave audiences inspired, confident and ready to take bold action.
Having witnessed Maria deliver a wonderful talk earlier this year, I really wanted her to share her insights with my own network at some point. Luckily for the members of ‘Your Partnerships’, Maria was our guest speaker this week at ‘The Lost and Found’ in Clifton. And what a treat it was! A talk around ‘gaining confidence and silencing your inner critic’ was perfect for the group to help with presenting their own businesses either at our event, in front of future clients or possibly even bigger audiences. Insights, tips and tricks, stories, exercises and even breathing techniques all within 20 minutes. One of our members expressed that the talk was the best she has ever seen!! If anyone reading this is looking for a recommendation for a keynote speaker who informs, inspires and exudes pure happiness, then look no further and book Maria before it’s too late!!

My Story
I may not know exactly how you feel, I do understand what it’s like to be at a crossroads in life, facing a significant decision and wanting to make the right choice.
My turning point came when I was made redundant while my two children were under three. This was the push I needed to change life as I knew it. I had been waking up for years thinking ‘Is this it?’. No longer excited by the day ahead. Just going through the motions. Trapped in an endless cycle of routine.
Being made redundant gave me the perfect opportunity and shove to make the changes I craved.
With the help of an amazing coach, I was able to start my own business. Something I never thought would be possible.
Now, I run my own business and live life on my own terms.
I’ve learnt that life is what you make of it. Regardless of the situation you find yourself in, you have the power to turn it to your advantage and create the reality you desire.
You can either continue living on autopilot accepting what will be will be or you can take control of what happens next and make this next chapter of your life your best yet.
I had the privilege of attending Maria’s talk on resilience, and I was absolutely blown away. The ability to blend powerful personal stories with actionable insights kept everyone engaged from start to finish. Not only did they inspire me to keep facing challenges head on, but they also equipped me with practical tools to build emotional and mental strength. I left feel very empowered and able to face anything life throws at me. I highly recommend Maria for anyone looking to tranform their mindset and approach to adversity.

Why work with me?
I know what it’s like to fight for your voice. Growing up in a male-dominated culture and thriving in a corporate world where I had to stand my ground, I get it. And I’ll show your audience how to be heard.
I bring energy, humour and honesty. No boring monologues here. My talks are engaging, interactive and filled with moments that make people say, “That’s exactly what I needed.”
I turn setbacks into comebacks. I don’t just talk about resilience, confidence and mindset, I’ve lived it. Your audience will leave knowing how to rise stronger.
I challenge the way people think. The inner critic? The fear of failure? The excuses? I call them out and show people how to take control of their mindset.
I leave people ready to take action. No one walks away thinking, “That was nice.” They walk away thinking, “I can do this.” And then, they do.
I can honestly say it is one of the best gifts I have ever received. She helped me look into myself and see my true potential. She used all her skills like, in my opinion, a little drill to help unlock the parts of my brain that were currently dormant. She unleashed my creativity and brought my true ambitions into my conscious. She gave me the tools in order for me to dream my ideal life. She gave me the power to live my dreams.
