What a fantastic morning at the Financial Times FT Forums learning from the fabulous Amy Gallo about how to work with anyone (even difficult people)! I absolutely love hearing inspirational speakers like Amy, and getting to discuss the issues in a room packed with impressive women is the icing on the cake. I heartily recommend Amy's book below and her podcast (HBR's Women at Work). Next step: getting everyone (not just women) to invest their time and energy in developing the skills to build and sustain reflective, empathetic, and resilient workplace relationships.

let's talk about that little voice in your head that says, "You can't do this." 🤔 Spoiler alert: it's lying! Confidence isn't about silencing that voice; it's about proving it wrong. 💪 Public speaking may feel like walking a tightrope without a safety net, but guess what? You've got wings, and you were meant to fly! 🕊️ So next time you're feeling those pre-presentation jitters, take a moment to acknowledge those fears and then show them who's boss. Stand tall, speak loud, and let your confidence shine brighter than any doubt. You've got this, and I believe in you! 🌈✨ #ConfidenceIsKey #YouGotThis Confident Chics Conversation Podcast    Unleashing Bold Conversations, Empowering Women, and Embracing Fearless Living! 👉

Have you ever been "untitled"? Gender bias is a powerful force that holds women back in the workplace and prevents them from achieving their full potential.

By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and equitable work environment that values diverse perspectives and experiences. Conscious recruiting isn't just about checking boxes or meeting quotas. It's about recognizing and addressing the systemic barriers that have historically marginalized women and other underrepresented groups. Let's work together to create a workplace where everyone has a seat at the table and a voice that's heard. Let's celebrate the achievements of women and support their career advancement.

Hey! So, you know how sometimes we get stuck in these negative thought loops? Well, rewiring your inner narrative is like giving your brain a software upgrade. It's all about creating a positive mindset that doesn't just cheerlead from the sidelines but gets in the game. Imagine swapping out those self-doubt tracks with a playlist of self-belief hits. It's not about ignoring the tough stuff but changing how you respond to it. Think of it as a DIY project for your brain, where you're the chief engineer turning "I can't" into "Why the heck not?" It's not magic, just a bit of mental remodeling to make your upstairs a more positive place to hang out.
