Confidence is a huge, multifaceted topic.

It’s so important take confidence in context and take into account how society and our environment plays a part. With that in mind, I’m really proud to say my work on confidence covers:

• Imposter Syndrome - what is it? What does the research say? What can we do to feel less like an imposter?

• The Confidence Gap - a researched phenomenon that shows women are statistically less confident than men in the workplace, what does this mean for us as individuals, as teams, as a society?

• Growth mindset and self-trust - learning how to back ourselves to take risks and to see failure as part of the process, not a finality

• Strengths, weaknesses and self-perception - finding greater balance in how we see ourselves, seeing weakness as human not failures to be erased, truly valuing our strengths and seeing ourselves with a gentler, kinder point of view.

I absolutely love working on values. It feels like the work where I see the biggest, most lasting change.

Having clarity on what we value has a knock on effect on our confidence.

If you're really clear on what your values are and what matters to you, you are empowered to hold your boundaries - you’re clear on what is good for you and what your limits are.

If I could I would coach, workshop and speak on values every day of the week. I never get tired of the lightbulb moments and impact this work has.

Specifically, I design and run session & talks that help participants to:

• uncover their unique personal value set

• create a shared set of values as a team or cohort

• reflect on how to manage conflicting values when collaborating

• uncover how they can make work or work in a way that aligns deeply with their personal values

Coaching is a great way of supporting teams or individuals to navigate feedback.

This work is really about helping teams or individuals understand how to process feedback, create a separation between themselves and the feedback they’re receiving, and use it as a place to grow from rather than a place to criticise and get stuck.

Specifically, I help folks process feedback from funding rejections, so they feel empowered to amend or improve their pitch and find the resilience to keep the project alive.

The work that I do on careers can be nicely tied to the piece around values.

Getting clear on our values, our skills and interests, combined with a focus on the different challenges individuals might be facing in their careers, how they could overcome them and what support they might need is a powerful mix to give careers a real boost.

This is always supported with goal setting and action planning to make those aligned goals a reality.
