Bold Strokes

Confidence for Creative Leaders

Working with People & Talent Managers to empowering young creative leaders in Media & Tech to take up space by tackling imposter syndrome, boosting self-confidence and giving themselves permission to be bold.

Book

You work in talent development and you’re on a mission to shape the next generation of creative leaders in media & tech, the only problem is:

they don’t feel they deserve to be in the room

✖

IMPOSTER SYNDROME

They share this feeling of not belonging, of being a fraud, of not knowing how they got to work with you to begin with! They aren’t able to see themselves as they really are, to recognise their strengths and the potential you see so clearly in them.

✖

SELF-DOUBT

Imposter syndrome and self-doubt go hand in hand, so it’s no surprise they feel a deep mistrust of their own abilities. Will they be ready to step into leadership if they can’t trust themselves?

✖

VISIBLITY

To take the next step in their career they need to get comfortable being seen and taking up space, how can they feel safe to step away from the sidelines?

Here’s the good news:

Confidence can be taught. It's not a case of you have it or we don't and that's that.

We can acquire confidence.

We can nurture confidence.

In turn that confidence will empower us to put ourselves out there, take risks and make bold strokes.

What if they could:

✓⃝ Feel confident to own their skills in practice, becoming their own advocate and believing in how much they have to offer

✓⃝ Understand the thoughts and behaviours fueling ‘Imposter Syndrome’ as well as the systemic factors that are at play, giving them agency to check their thoughts, embrace their wins and know they deserve to be there

✓⃝ Trust themselves to get up when they fall down, to learn from failures and keep becoming the most authentic version of themselves

✓⃝ Shine a light on themselves and everything they have to offer, becoming aware of and really embodying their best qualities

✓⃝ Know they are not alone and build a sense of camaraderie and community as they prepare to take the world by storm

What we cover

Under the Hood of Imposter Syndrome

What actually IS imposter syndrome? Where does it come from?

We dig into this psychological phenomenon and the behaviours perpetuating it to re-write these unhelpful narratives from a place of compassion.

Strengths Awareness

What is confidence without an appreciation of our qualities? We devote some time to strengths identification, bringing to the surface participants natural talents and abilities so they can embrace them inside and out

Reframing Failure

Failure is inevitable: so how do we embrace it? We look at how to spot cycle of self-doubt and break it, learning to trust ourselves in the process.

No ordinary training session

Research Based

I love using research as a basis for the work that I do. I make sure that all of the tools, techniques and processes that I'm using are tried and tested so that my sessions are as impactful as possible. I also love incorporating the latest in psychology and neuroscience when talking about confidence, resilience and creativity.

Interactive

My sessions are a space for meaningful conversations to happen between participants. Those discussions are so valuable in dealing with feelings of isolation, and building community. It’s moments where experiences are shared and connections are made that creates space for collaboration to happen on a deeper level.

Participant led

This session has been honed over 3 years to have the most impact and part of that is flexing the materials based on who is in the room - is it useful to spend a little longer on a reflection? Go deeper in a breakout discussion? Let’s do it

About

The Confidence Catalyst is the result of 3 years of delivering and crafting confidence training for media & tech companies working to foster talent and build a mentally healthy and diverse workforce. I can say, with absolute confidence, that this session will empower and delight.

I believe we will never achieve equity and equality if those outside the ‘lines’ don’t feel confident to step into positions of authority. This session is my contribution to building a kinder, fairer world.
