Research shows women in the workforce struggle most with confidence and career progression

The Voice of Women at Work 2023 research report showed:

0 %

of women lack confidence and have moments of self doubt

0 %

of women say their career is not progressing as quickly as they would like

0 %

At 59%, confidence is the most common trait women see in leaders

These findings confirm my own experience working with and mentoring numerous women on their professional journeys. Time and again, I’ve witnessed the impact of self-doubt and the lack of career growth. It reinforces the urgent need for programs like ‘Building Confidence, Breaking Barriers’, which is designed to empower women to overcome these obstacles, build unwavering confidence, and unlock their full potential.

My Confidence Journey

Embarking on the journey of self-confidence has been nothing short of remarkable for me. It’s a story of transformation that I believe can inspire others.

I always knew I had the skills and capabilities, but my confidence seemed to ebb and flow with the people around me and their perceptions of me. Early in my career, a single incident struck a heavy blow to my confidence.

For years, I allowed this incident to define me – a capable professional, yet one who felt overlooked and lacking in confidence. But then, I decided it was time for change. I started to challenge those self-limiting beliefs and replace them with a positive and empowering mindset.

Today, I define confidence in my career as follows: “Confidence is the unwavering belief in yourself, regardless of external feedback. It’s about never doubting your abilities, irrespective of the outcomes.”

In this program I will share invaluable insights and practical tips on how I transitioned from a timid young professional into a transformational leader.

Why I Am Running This Program

“I am deeply passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and am committed to advancing these principles across all facets of life. I wholeheartedly advocate for marginalised communities and believe in the power of equity and inclusion to create positive change. This program represents a labour of love, a true passion project that allows me to give back to the community. It is my way of contributing to the betterment of society, alongside the incredible organisations I am proud to partner with.”
