BOOKS

Lauren Currie is an author of books that help people recognise the rules that shape their lives and build the confidence to rewrite them.

A red book titled "The Confidence Code" by Lauren Currie OBE with white bold text and yellow text at the bottom that says "24 Rules for Life Changing Confidence". The book also contains quotes from Viv Groskop and Dr. Soph.

BE UPFRONT

This book works like a map.

It’s built around 24 rules: old rules you’ve been taught to follow, and new rules to replace them with. Each chapter starts by unlearning - naming the rule that holds you back. Then it moves into relearning - a new rule that opens space for confidence to grow.

And finally, each chapter invites you to be UPFRONT, with practical tools, stories, and an UPFRONT Moment designed to help you practise the new rule in your own life.

A woman with blonde hair and glasses, smiling and gesturing with her arms while speaking on stage.

“One of the great myths of the time is that there is a cookie-cutter methodology to achieve confidence in work, in life and play. In Lauren Currie’s new book, Be UPFRONT, she debunks existing beliefs, deconstructs what confidence is, what it isn’t, and shares innovative ways of rethinking the role it has in our lives.”

“Be UPFRONT is a manifesto for collective power. Lauren Currie helps the reader develop the type of personal confidence that becomes a social movement. She shows us how courage expands through connection and collaboration instead of completion. I am excited for this guidebook to be in the hands of women who are ready to take their position upfront!”

"I smiled throughout this glorious book! A wonderfully visual and accessible way to challenge stereotypical thinking that can often hold us back in adulthood. A brilliant book to share and learn about The Trick and how to call it out."

"The Trick is a powerful book - beautifully written and illustrated, with a message that couldn't be more urgent. In a world that still isn’t fair, it gives children the words and confidence to question the rules and imagine something better."
