“BEING” by Alicia Sedgwick: A Timely Reminder to Slow Down and Reconnect with Who We Are

In a world that worships productivity, glorifies multitasking, and often mistakes burnout for success, Alicia Sedgwick offers a radical counter-message: Stop doing. Start being.

The Monaco-based communication expert, speaker, and international author has just released her second book, BEING – Guidance in How to BE Rather than How to DO. Following the success of her debut Communicating Through Change, Sedgwick returns with a soulful guide to help readers rediscover inner peace, clarity, and purpose.

“We’ve been conditioned to believe our worth lies in what we do,” says Alicia. “But the truth is, our deepest fulfillment comes from who we are.”

A Book Born of Experience and Empathy

Part memoir, part guidebook, BEING is filled with intimate stories from Alicia’s life, reflections on navigating modern chaos, and practical tools for cultivating stillness. With affirmations, lessons, and even musical cues at the beginning of each chapter, the book feels like a conversation with a wise friend—gentle, reassuring, and deeply human.

Sedgwick doesn’t preach. She walks with the reader, sharing moments of vulnerability and strength, drawing from her vast experience as a coach, trainer, and survivor of personal transformation. She invites us to pause, breathe, and realign with our essential selves.

A Resounding Response

Though only recently launched, BEING has quickly gained traction. It’s been ranked as a Top New Release by Amazon US in the “Nonprofit Marketing and Communications” category, No. 4 in “Diversity and Inclusion” on Amazon France, and No. 6 in “Mental Health and Healing” on Amazon US.

Voices of Praise from Around the World

Readers from all walks of life have been touched by Sedgwick’s work:

• Antony Lishak MBE, UK: “Her honesty and generosity inspire us to draw from our inner strength… a book filled with love and non-judgmental wisdom.”
• Gabrielle Françoise Achilleos, Monaco: “An inspiring plea to slow down before life slips away.”
• Karen Lane, Australia: “A radical and essential perspective… This is exactly what the world needs right now.”
• Phoebe Creed, 16-year-old reader: “Beautifully written and deeply comforting.”

More Than a Book — A Way of Life

Alicia Sedgwick is no stranger to the spotlight. Her career has spanned the Olympics, TEDx stages, international webinars, and elite corporate boardrooms. She has coached leaders, mentored refugees, and hosted some of the world’s most prestigious events.

Yet it is in her writing that she reveals her most profound gift: helping others find the courage to embrace their truth.

BEING is not just a book—it’s an invitation to come home to yourself.
