How to Own the Room

How to Own the Room is a practical communication and confidence guide by Viv Groskop that explores how to speak and present with presence in any situation. Drawing on examples from public speaking, performance, and everyday life, the book breaks down the habits and mindset shifts that help people feel more confident when speaking to others—whether in meetings, interviews, presentations, or social situations. It focuses on managing nerves, finding an authentic voice, and learning how to connect with an audience rather than trying to “perform perfectly.” Engaging and accessible, it blends personal stories with practical tips to help readers build confidence and communicate more effectively.
