Jane Malyon’s talks transform what might seem like the concept of a simple tea party into a powerful lesson in personal development. Through the metaphor of British afternoon tea (with truly fascinating etiquette tips too!), she helps women understand that the same principles that govern a delightful teatime – preparation, presence, attention to detail, rapport and appreciation – can be applied to achieving personal and professional goals.
Her sessions are designed to leave attendees feeling not just entertained, but genuinely inspired to embrace their unique strengths, refine their communication skills, and approach life with renewed confidence and grace. She encourages us to:
- Embrace Authenticity: Just as there’s no single “right” way to pronounce scone or ‘scon’ (!), there’s no single “right” way to be an empowered woman. Jane champions individuality.
- Cultivate Resilience: Life throws curveballs. Jane shares motivational tips that help women bounce back stronger, much like adapting to an unexpected tea spill with poise.
- Let Anxiety Go: Rather than mentally rehearsing future problems that haven’t yet happened, learn to trust in your natural ability to cope with whatever occurs. Banish the ‘what if’ thoughts and enjoy each moment!
- Connect with Purpose: Through engaging stories and practical advice, Jane helps women reconnect with their passions and align their actions with their deepest values.
Afternoon tea is a perfect metaphor for bringing out the best in each of us. It’s a much-needed opportunity to press pause on the busy-ness of our hectic lives where we can take time out to focus on the moment and who we are with (whether it’s a business associate, friend or family). We pass the cakes and sandwiches, we share nicely, we offer to pour tea, we listen and we moderate our volume and manners! We actually connect and communicate beautifully and find our best selves in the process. This is the magic of the tradition of Afternoon Tea.
Throughout Jane’s memorable talk, you will smile as she reminds that it’s not ‘pinky finger’out when sipping tea! Do you know about the awkward etiquette in correctly dealing with an olive or cherry stone in our mouth! Oh and just when is the proper moment to put your napkin (or is it a serviette?) on your lap…and does cream or jam go first on the scone? Should we pour milk or tea into the cup first and is it pronounced scone as in tone or ‘scon’ as in gone?! Yes, you’ll get the answers to all this and more!
