Topic: The Courage to be Uniquely You
As women, sometimes we struggle with where we are in life. We struggle with the roles we play. We’re frustrated that we didn’t get the promotion or the raise or even the recognition. We think that to get where we want to be, we need to become more like our male colleagues, like “one of the guys”. Becoming like one of the guys is not the solution, the solution is having the courage to be uniquely you. During this talk, Nicole will share the importance of:
Knowing Who You Are
• Understanding your passions
• Assessing your skills
• Tracking your accomplishments
• Defining how others should treat you
Owning Who You Are
• Tackling Imposter Syndrome
• Increasing your confidence
• Developing Executive Presence
• Being unapologetically you
